After 3 months of scrambling over a very huge and steep learning curve we managed to successfully stage two performances; one at St. Andrew's United Church, Nanaimo, on May 6th and the other at the Nanaimo Port Theatre on Wednesday evening, March 16th, 2022.
We filmed and photographed both events to apply for further funding and local as well as Provincial support. We have received some very positive feedback from both audience and support services as well as encouragement to proceed and go forward sooooo...
we are working towards resuming rehearsals in early May for the full scale summer production of "Don't You Think It's Time?" which is scheduled for July 29th, 30th and 31rst in the Lion's Pavilion at Maffeo-Sutton Park, occupying Nanaimo's harbor front.
If you or anyone you know is interested in participating in some way either on-stage or behind the scenes in any one of a variety of services including ,music, lighting, set-design, costumes, fund-raising or administration - please email dontyouthinkitstime@gmail.com
Thank you!
We will keep you posted as we proceed -
Sarah M. Wood, composer and author of "Don't You Think It's Time?"
