Gleneagle secondary graduate Lyndsey Britten is the choreographer and stage manager for a Vancouver Fringe Festival show next month.
Awkward Stage Productions will have the world premiere of its one-act production Carry On: A Musical, a result of last year’s Smackdown: The 24 Hour Musical contest that has since been expanded.
Directed by Sarah Harrison, the musical runs at the Firehall Arts Centre (280 E. Cordova St., Vancouver) from Sept. 8 to 18. Visit vancouverfringe.com.
MOVIE, TUNES
The latest instalment in the Star Wars saga will be shown at the last Cinema Under the Stars in Port Coquitlam next Friday.
The city will screen The Force Awakens as part of its summer outdoor movie run on Aug. 19 at 9 p.m. at Gates Park ( 2575 Wilson Ave.).
The event is free and is sponsored by G&F Financial Group.
Meanwhile, the municipality hosts country rocker Karen Fowlie and indie rock band Western Jaguar next Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m. at Leigh Square Community Arts Village (beside PoCo city hall) for its Village Vibe Performing Arts series while, on Sunday from noon to 1, David Beckingham — a founding member with Hey Ocean — performs at the bandshell for the Music in the Park series.
Beckingham’s concert coincides with the Downtown PoCo car show.
RIVERVIEW ART
Photographic images of Coquitlam’s Riverview Hospital grounds are now on show at Port Coquitlam city hall.
