Music & Lyrics by Willy Russell
Directed by Mort Paul

Matinées Sept. 30, Oct. 7 & 14 @ 2pm

Blood Brothers…the peoples musical! Willy Russell, who wrote the lyrics, book and score, has won many awards for this show. It is one of the longest running musicals of all time. This international smash hit musical has scooped up four awards for best Musical in London, seven Tony nominations on Broadway and has developed a cult following – and now you can see it here in Nanaimo!

It is a Liverpudlian folk opera about twin boys who are separated at birth and brought up in completely different environments. The audience will experience a whole gamut of emotions from toe tapping along with the energetic chorus to the feeling of tenderness as the story touches your heart.

Why has Blood Brothers run continuously for over twenty years? Come to the Bailey Studio and find out for yourself and then tell your friends and relatives to come see it too!

Arms and the Man
By George Bernard Shaw
Directed by Roger Desprez
April 23 - May 10 @ 8pm
Matinée May 4 @ 2pm

All’s fair in love and war, or is it? One of Shaw’s frequently performed classic comedies, it crackles with his wit and charm as it illuminates the humour of both heroic and romantic ideals turned on their heads. Though satirizing Victorian mores and hypocrisy it avoids sermonizing and is still relevant today.
