Winter 2009
Our latest show, "Home for the Hollydaze" was a great success! We played to sold out crowds on the 17th and 18th, and had a great showing for our preview night on the 16th.
Thanks to everyone who made it possible.
Last Spring, Bootstrap Theatre took "No More Medea" to the local Zone Festival Competition for Theatre BC.
No More Medea won Best Costumes and Best Graphic Design!
We were also nominees for Best Set & Best Lighting Design, & were runners up for Best Sound!
Thanks to the Production Crew and to the cast for making Bootstrap's first festival so successful!!
Our Press Release for our Spring 2009 Show NO MORE MEDEA
After digging deep into your subconscious with In Dreams, Bootstrap Theatre is back on stage
with a production of Deborah Porter’s No
More Medea, a dark and savage comedy about the things we allow to define
us. Picture, if you will, the Place of
Battered Legends, a type of Purgatory, in which figures from Mythology justify
and make sense of their lives and actions.
Here, we see the twistedly depressed Medea, driven to kill her own children
by a desperate desire for revenge, crossing paths with the so-called “Virgin”
Mary, powerless to the way people have come to understand her place. Through the retelling of their personal
histories, a friendship is born, along with a love for shopping, and a
difference of opinion over the merits of Meryl Streep. Bootstrap Theatre is an offshoot of the Chilliwack Players Guild and is dedicated to providing an outlet to theatre buffs who are interested in exploring the fringe. Directed by Players Guild mainstay, Emily Hamel-Walde and starring the incomparable Sheri Eyre as Medea, Bootstrap’s production of Porter’s thought-provoking No More Medea is not to be missed.
