Join Lucas Myers as he examines the fine line between perfectionism and obsession and why a piece of 2×6 lumber is not really two inches by six inches. Not even close. DECK stars Cliv, a meticulous single parent of two who has been forced to reassess his future after taking losses in the recession. He embraces a new start in a small town but his attempts at self-sufficiency are highjacked by a bad house buy and he is forced to try his hand at home improvement. DECK is a darkly hilariuos take on the modern milieu of a small town, semi-urban environment. Please note: this performance is not suitable for children as it involves power tools, physics and partial nudity. www.pilotcopilot.com. Tickets at The Arts Station, Freshies and Carosella.

The songwriters first joined forces when the pair found themselves onstage singing with Jane Siberry on her famous encore “Calling All Angels.” After taking their dirty laundry clean across Canada on the first leg of their Dirty Laundry Dual CD Release Tour 2011, duo partners Jenny Allen and Leslie Alexander are returning to BC with their new solo CDs. With each artist a strong voice in her own right, together Allen & Alexander deliver the razor-sharp songwriting and powerhouse performances fans have come to expect from their solo shows – and more. Now sharing seamless vocals, multiple instruments, and much in common, Allen & Alexander agree that their set list – exchanged like a salty heart-to-heart over a load of laundry – contains their most personal songs yet. Featuring harmony vocals, guitars, washboard, harmonica and other assorted instruments, from flat-out folk rock’n roll to more intimate fare, Allen & Alexander are coming clean to town near you. www.reverbnation.com/allenalexander. Tickets available at The Arts Station, Freshies and Carosella.
Christine Stufano Simpson
To Visually Touch
Opens Thursday, January 26th at 7pm

A self taught artist, Christine works in many different mediums incorporating bark, tree resin, bone and other unusual materials into her work. Christine’s art attempts to both capture and inspire the human spirit. Her art is an alchemy of the awe, respect, and the overwhelming inspiration she perceives in nature. The show will take the viewer on a journey of work created from the artist’s reactions to life and nature, a visual feast of mixed media, landscapes, body prints and a few surprises.

“We didn’t need dialogue. We had faces.” That’s Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond, the over-the-hill silent film star in the 1950 classic Sunset Boulevard. “The Artist” is a new black and white silent movie that doesn’t need dialogue either. It has faces and they belong to George Valentin, a silent movie superstar and Peppy Miller, a spunky ingénue. Their story takes place in the early days of Hollywood before the advent of talking pictures, when someone like Valentin could grin with such a winning combination of self- confidence, self-deprecation and self-awareness, that dialogue was redundant. A combination of delightful humour and charm.
