Truth can be stranger than fiction as shown in Bedtime Stories: Dreaming of Vancouver Island

June 27, 2011

The Maritime Museum of BC and the Bamberton Historical Society are delighted to be hosting the Seeds and Salt Theatre Company's brand new production Bedtime Stories: Dreaming of Vancouver Island as part of their 2011 summer tour. This exciting theatre company, performing in the Museum's historic courtroom on July 13 at 7:00pm, has received rave reviews for bringing alive the history of Vancouver Island to audiences of all ages.

The performance consists of four true stories - The Second Son, The Bride Ships, Strathcona 100 and The Chocolate Bar War. A cast of four actors using minimal props and bags of talent transport the audience back into Vancouver Island's history.

"This is our third successful year and we are thrilled to present 22 shows to 14 community venues on Vancouver Island and Salt Spring Island from July 1-23. These unforgettable stories speak to our shared sense of what it is to be an islander. This is a production that will entertain the whole family," says Maureen Alexander, Seeds and Salt Theatre's Producer.

The brilliance of this show is the creation of a lot from a little. Stories are hilariously and movingly told by four actors using minimal props and agile acting that will challenge your imagination. Within the performance's simplicity lies a theatrically challenging accomplishment.

Doors open at 6:30pm. Tickets are just $10 + HST and available in the Crow's Nest Gift Shop in the Maritime Museum of BC. For more information, please call 250-385-4222, ext. 113 or visit our website at mmbc.bc.ca and check under the "What's New at the Museum" section. Join the voyage!
