Where Do I Start?
The ARTEL Presents: Where Do I Start? Directed by: Caroline Baillie
November 21-25 8pm; 2pm matinee Nov 25, 205 Sydenham Street
Where do I Start? is based on a powerful book of poetry written by a former Kingstonian, Roselyn Barclay, a former drug user who has beat the addiction and now manages a rough apartment building that houses the down and out of Vancouver’s east end.
Critical Stage Co. addresses social issues in an honest straightforward manner and Where do I Start is no exception. Talia Acker brings reality to Roselyn’s first person account of her personal triumph, compassion and no nonsense treatment of those caught in the web of drugs. The lines are raw and riveting filled with lasting images, some profoundly disturbing. Percy Adler, an accomplished local jazz guitarist, has written and will perform his music while other actors stage vignettes. Where do I start presents a pure moment of human history - a piece of work without ego enhancing nuances uncontaminated by creative intention.
Tickets: $16.00 or pay what you can.
