Let's Get Ready...
Rumble’s 2009/2010 season!
VANCOUVER – Octpber 7, 2009 Rumble Productions is thrilled to announce a powerhouse line-up of innovative new Canadian work, featuring a stunning array of local and national talent on stages around the city.
The season kicks off with Artistic Producer Craig Hall co-directing (with Pi Theatre Artistic Director Richard Wolfe) the Canadian premier of Haruki Murakami’s after the quake at Studio 16. Adapted for the stage by renowned American Director Frank Galati, after the quake takes its audience on a journey where magic and realism collide, in a touching exploration of disrupted reality in the wake of disaster.
Following on the heels of two critically-acclaimed runs in Vancouver and Toronto in 2008, our controversial co-production (with Theatre Replacement) of Clark and I Somewhere in Connecticut heads to Whitehorse’s Yukon Arts Centre in January, before returning to Vancouver for an encore performance at Vancouver’s PuSh Festival. The tour of this award-winning show wraps up with a stop in Regina in April.
In March, Rumble will once again team up with 11 of Vancouver’s most adventurous independent theatre companies to bring you HIVE 3. HIVE has quickly become one of this city’s most popular theatrical events selling out far in advance, so be sure to get your tickets early. HIVE 3 is co-presented with the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad and will once again take place at The Centre for Digital Media (577 Great Northern Way).
The season will round up in April with the return of Rumble’s TREMORS Festival; presenting some of the very best of a new generation of contemporary performance. This season’s festival will take place at various venues in and around the Vancouver East Cultural Centre and will include new works from our Artists in Residence The Chop Theatre (creators of the Patti Fedy Trilogy and Townsville) and Theatre Melee (creators of Lazy Susan) as well as an award winning new work from Toronto’s Why Not Theatre. Keep an eye on our website for full festival details.
This season, as we reflect on 19 years of innovative and provocative art, we continue to explore perspectives on our collective history and the events and institutions that are currently shaping our lives. This is the vibrant and risky territory in which we thrive and we wouldn’t have it any other way!
-Craig Hall, Artistic Producer
