If you missed the Arts Club Theatre’s hugely popular 4000 Miles in 2014, never fear: you’ve got a chance to see it right in your own backyard.
The original cast is returning to the stage for a new Arts Club on Tour production of the show that originally ran at the Stanley theatre in 2014.
It’s set to hit the road on Feb. 13, with two dates in Burnaby March 10 and 11.
Nicola Cavendish returns to her role as Vera in this story about a sprightly 91-year-old New Yorker and her 21-year-old grandson, Leo (Nathan Barrett) who has just cycled across the country and shows up unannounced on Vera’s doorstep with a bike, no money and nowhere to go.
Amy Herzog’s play was a finalist for the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and won the 2012 Obie Award for Best New American Play.
“In selecting shows for our touring season, I knew that Nicola reprising the role of Vera would be a highlight, and I am thrilled that she agreed to bring her performance to our touring partners,” said Bill Millerd, artistic managing director of the Arts Club, in a press release.
Also on stage are Ella Simon as Bec and Agnes Tong as Amanda in the production directed by Roy Surette.
The production also plays in Maple Ridge, North Vancouver, Surrey, Coquitlam, West Vancouver and Mission.
Tickets for the Shadbolt Centre show are $44, or $39 for students/seniors. See tickets.shadboltcentre.com or call 604-205-3000 to purchase.
