A Burnaby actor is centre stage in an upcoming production by Realwheels Theatre.
Jake Anthony is part of the cast for SEQUENCE, an award-winning Canadian play by Arun Lakra.
The science thriller explores the intersection of math, nature and spirituality through four characters – played by Anthony, Byron Noble, Krista Skwarok and Amy Amantea.
In SEQUENCE, a professor confronts a student who has defied probability by taking a multiple choice exam only to get every answer wrong. Meanwhile, the “Luckiest Man Alive,” with his uncanny ability to predict the winner of the Super Bowl coin toss for 20 years running, is confronted bya young woman who claims to know his secret.
“SEQUENCE explores questions of determinism versus free will via two stories that interweave like a strand of DNA,” a press release says.
This production of SEQUENCE will be the first ever performed by an integrated cast, featuring two actors who live with a disability alongside two able-bodied actors.
“This casting speaks to Realwheels Theatre’s ongoing commitment to fostering interchange between mainstream and disability arts sectors,” the release says.
SEQUENCE is onstage March 14 to 24 at Presentation House Theatre, 333 Chesterfield Ave., North Vancouver.
Tickets are $28 regular, $20 for people with disabilities, $20 for seniors, $15 for students and arts workers, on sale through 604-990-3474 or tickets.phtheatre.org.
