  1. Check out Sangja on Saturday, Nov. 21, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Shadbolt Centre, at 6450 Deer Lake Ave. It’s an hour-long tale of a Korean boy adopted into a Canadian family, told through a series of puppets showing him at different stages of his life. The piece mixes puppetry, theatre and music, while exploring issues of race, identity and international adoption. It’s a collaboration between two theatre companies: one from South Korea and the other from Canada. Info: www.pangaea-arts.com. Tickets are $10, available by calling 604-205-3000.
