Destino: Vancouver

Temos uma amiga que conhecemos aqui no Canadá que disse que não imigrou para o Canadá, mas sim para Vancouver!!! Pensei, pensei (mas não pensei muito... rs) a respeito e confesso que também imigrei somente para essa cidade maravilhosa, apesar de ter chegado um pouco tarde demais (rs) para encontrar o "Lex Luthor" (que morreu (não sei porquê, pois na história original ele não morre...) no seriado Smallville, gravado aqui)!!!

Mas enfim, como estou trabalhando no ramo de turismo e hotelaria, um dos principais segmentos do mercado de Vancouver, vou tentar publicar alguns eventos semanais...

Lá vão então (July 30 - August 05)…Have lots of fun!!!

THEATRE

Glengarry Glen Ross
Tough times call for tough measures in a Chicago real-estate office. In this cutthroat world, four hungry, back-stabbing salesmen peddle questionable investments in a contest to become top dog. Slumping sales? Can’t close the deal? You’re fired! David Mamet’s explosive masterpiece of workplace power struggles gone awry stars Eric McCormack of TV’s Will & Grace as you’ve never seen him.  July 22 – August 22
Stanley Theatre

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
It’s the funniest thing in seven consonants! Jubilant and touching, this Tony Award–winning musical comedy pits quirky prepubescent overachievers against one other in the spelling challenge of a lifetime. Amid infectious songs such as “My Friend, the Dictionary,” “Woe Is Me, and “I Speak Six Languages,” the nerdy and wordy learn that winning isn’t everything.
To August 21

Tony-award winning musical features music by Elton John and Tim Rice from the popular animated film.

Bard on the Beach
Celebrating its 21st Season in 2010, Bard on the Beach presents Shakespeare in a magnificent setting on the waterfront under the 520-seat Mainstage tent.  These seasons productions, Antony & Cleopatra and Much Ado About Nothing, are performed in repertory from early June through late September. The Mainstage tent is open-ended so that the actors perform against a spectacular backdrop of mountains, sea and sky - a highlight of the Bard experience.

  1. Olá, sempre que posso dou uma passadinha aqui no blog, muito legal. Apesar de ter ficado muito bonito o fundo ficou um pouco difícil de ler os posts. Não que seja impossível, mas pra mim que já uso óculos incomoda um pouquinho. :)
