House of Kosa (upcoming theatre production)

I love the local theatre scene, and I’m very excited about the 2009-2010 season. Via Andrew Templeton (of Biographies fame), I heard about The House of Kosa, a TigerMilk production happening at the PAL Theatre (which you may all remember because I wrote about The 21st Floor, the very first-ever production to which my friend Simon Ogden invited me to).

This particular production (House of Kosa) seems to be focused on fashion and I’m always curious to see how people construct (or de-construct) their perceptions of the haute couture industry.

A chorus of models, moonlighting as seamstresses in a basement sweatshop, unweave the twisted workings of the family that inhabit the House above them. The Mother (played by celebrated dancer/choreographer, Barbara Bourget) is in the attic creating the intricate designs, while devising the future of her family. The Father (Michael Springate) is at the breakfast table encouraging his Daughter (Kirsten Slenning) to recount her latest tale of front page debauchery.

~~I might (not sure yet) have some tickets to give away~~. [Correction - I DO have a pair of tickets to give away - I'll draw the winner on Tuesday September 29th at 2pm] If that’s the case, I’ll update the post. At any rate, tickets are $20/ $17 and can be purchased online at VancouverTix or by phone at 604-629-VTIX. It’s amazing. Despite the cuts to the arts, our theatre scene is still blossoming. Kudos!
