Almost two years ago, as part of our first season at the Goldcorp Stage at the BMO Theatre Centre, we premiered Onegin, by Veda Hille and Amiel Gladstone, and it proved to be a huge hit with Vancouver audiences. We were thrilled with the response and decided to remount this Jessie Award winner at the Granville Island Stage and take it on an extended tour of Western Canada, to celebrate its local Arts Club origins and its subsequent national success! The Arts Club has a long history of premieres that have enjoyed successful afterlives, beginning with Sherman Snukal’s Talking Dirty in 1981, and stretching across the years and various venues to the family drama In a Blue Moon (by Lucia Frangione), which we toured in 2016, in partnership with Western Canada Theatre in Kamloops and the Thousand Islands Playhouse in Gananoque, Ontario.

If you saw the world premiere of Onegin in 2016, you might notice a few small changes—that’s how new plays evolve. Our company, too, has evolved since our founding by Yvonne Firkins at the Seymour Street Arts Club. We started in 1964 as a small theatre company created by a group of local artists in a 150-seat theatre, located upstairs at the corner of Seymour and Davie and named for the watering hole that inhabited the

downstairs space, the Arts Club. We grew from there; first with the opening of the Granville Island Stage in 1979 (and later, the Revue Stage), followed by the Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage in 1998 with our regular 3-show tour series beginning the same season. And then, in 2015, we opened the Goldcorp Stage at the BMO Theatre Centre, fulfilling our long-held desire to have a purpose-built theatre at which we could incubate new works and bring them to the stage.

So, as you can see, change is in our DNA. And it will continue to be with the arrival of our new Artistic Director, Ashlie Corcoran. We asked her about her feelings on the move home, to B.C., to artistically guide us in our next chapter: “I am ecstatic to be joining the Arts Club Theatre Company, an organization I deeply care about, in a city that I love. I am excited to immerse myself in Vancouver’s cultural community, build on Bill Millerd’s phenomenal legacy, and collaborate with Peter and the Arts Club’s fantastic staff and board. My vision is for the Arts Club to be internationally renowned, driving the development of local theatrical talent and voices, while deeply engaging with its community, audience, and stakeholders. This will be a homecoming for me—born and bred in White Rock, B.C., I am thrilled to once again live in my home province, close to my family.”

As we finish the 29th tour season and prepare for the big 3-0, we’d like to thank our tour partners for their continued support through the years. Here’s to change!

Enjoy the show.

4 Onegin

What a joy to have our Onegin on tour! After our last collaboration (with Bill Richardson) Do You Want What I Have Got? A Craigslist Cantata—a play about disconnection—we wanted to immerse ourselves in something about connection, a story that could challenge our sometimes corseted Canadian sensibilities. Something where the audience could swoon and get swept away. Something full of grand gestures, dance, and light. Something honest, but

also modern. Because in the age of the cynic, where does the romantic fit? We adapted freely from Pushkin’s original and Tchaikovsky’s opera, to give audiences the visceral experience of unrequited love. The characters’ missed opportunities show us what happens when we don’t embrace love when it comes. What it looks and feels like to turn away from its vitality and beauty. ultimately, the show is our celebration of love. Our love of the theatre, our love for performing, our love for making things together, our love of the audience, and your connection to what we create. Thank you for joining us for either the first time, or returning to fall in love. We love that you’re here getting carried away with us.
