Wrecking Ball to tackle Draconian Cuts to the Arts
Canada's leading Theatre Artists take on the BC government from Coast to
Coast

Vancouver's theatre community joins actors, directors and designers from
across the country in creative and satirical protest to the BC
government's mind-boggling and short-sighted plan to slash 90% of
cultural funding, which will make it the only jurisdiction in Canada not
to invest in culture.

Just last week the all-party Standing Committee on Finance recommended
that the BC Government "restore funding to the arts and culture sector."
The view of MLA's of all parties across the province is unanimous and
clear: provincial investment in the arts is a priority for all British
Columbians. Why hasn't the government responded?

Vancouver's Wrecking Ball features some of Canada's most nationally and
internationally recognized actors and directors, including multiple
award-winning actor/playwrights Daniel MacIvor (House, Twitch City) and
Linda Griffiths (Maggie and Pierre), Leacock-winning writer Mark Leiren
Young, and Alcan Award winner Carmen Aguirre. Founding member of the
Nylons and BC Walk of Fame member Denis Simpson will host.
