Tickets are going fast (and we mean fast) for ALL THE WAY HOME, Electric Company’s intimate production on a huge stage. Join us for a unique experience at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre seated onstage in and around the set, and immerse yourself in this story of love, hope, and spiritual transformation.
From director Kim Collier, last year’s winner of the Siminovitch Prize in Theatre for direction: “This is exciting new territory for Electric Company. It’s an entirely lo-fi experience offering our audience an extraordinarily close-up connection to the story.”

Happy Holidays from the Electric Company,
We’ll be spending our holiday preparing to transform the legendary Queen Elizabeth Theatre into 1910-era Kamloops for ALL THE WAY HOME, Tad Mosel’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journey of love, family, and spiritual renewal.
Enter through the wings. Sit onstage, right in the midst of the action. Encounter the story within the various rooms of a family home, on the lawn outside, or along the dusty road that travels by. Join us in January for an immersive experience of a profoundly moving story, featuring some of Vancouver’s most celebrated acting talent.
We wanted you to be the first to know about this exclusive seven-show engagement. There’s very limited seating, and very little advertising. If you’re looking for a last-minute gift this month, give someone you love the gift of live theatre with tickets to ALL THE WAY HOME. With such a short run and limited capacity, we are encouraging our friends to book in advance.

Annoucement of AGM and New Series: OBSTRUCTIONS |

Obstructions
at Progress Lab 1422
First event: Oct 27, 2011 @ 7pm, part of Electric Company's Annual General Meeting
Following three sold-out iterations of the HIVE party series, Vancouver's Progress Lab network of indie theatre-makers comes together to test the theory that creativity feeds on limits.
Inspired in part by a film called The Five Obstructions by Jørgen Leth and Lars Von Trier, the core artists of each participating company will submit, a few at a time and under a cold spotlight, to a list of obstructions delivered by a shadowy emcee. The company will then be commanded to create their next production around those limitations. The obstructions for each company have been developed in secret by their peers - a custom-designed set of obstacles that will prompt each artist to adapt to a new approach to making theatre. Their individual tendencies toward form, place, style, theme, design, period, and story are exposed and obstructed, spilling the artist's bag of tricks all over the stage and out of reach.
On October 27, the first three companies will receive their obstructions: Radix (artistic director Andrew Laurenson), Boca Del Lupo (artistic directors Sherry Yoon and Jay Dodge), and Felix Culpa (artistic directors David Bloom and Linda Quibell). They will return starting March 31 2012 to perform their new works, where more obstructions will be delivered.
October 27's event at Progress Lab 1422 is $5 cover with no advance sales, and will follow Electric Company's joint AGM with Boca, Rumble Productions, Neworld Theatre, Replacement, Radix, The Only Animal, and Leaky Heaven. Doors at 6, AGM begins 7pm, Obstructions begins 9pm. Arrive early, limited seating. Cash bar.
Mark your calendars for the next three dates of Obstructions:
March 31, 2012
May 19, 2012
June 9, 2012
More dates to be announced
Other participating companies in Obstructions include Pi Theatre and Conspiracy. More to be announced as time goes by.
