In this guest review from Vancouver’s top funnyman and MC, David C. Jones, we get an audience-eye view of what it’s like to attend Bacio Rosso – the hybrid cabaret / vaudeville / dinner experience now playing at Queen Elizabeth Park.
REVIEW: There’s no place like Poco: East Van Panto’s take on “Oz” is the best yet

If you’re looking for an evening of holiday-themed musical family fun that will entertain one and all, look no further than A Christmas Story, The Musical from Align Entertainment, now playing at Burnaby’s Michael J.
