Dearly beloved, we are gathered here at the Rio Theatre, May 11, 11 p.m., to get through this thing called Purple Rain. A 1984 movie of never-ending Prince songs, where His Purpleness rides a motorcycle and lives in an abusive household, Morris Day and the Time perform “Jungle Love” and Apollonia takes off her top for a skinny dip, mistakenly thinking she’s purifying herself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka. For more information, go to riotheatre.ca.
Vancouver Moving Theatre and the Heart of the City Festival present Storyweaving. Described as a “multi-disciplinary journey staged in the round… weaving First Nation memories from the past into the future,” Storyweaving takes place May 11 to 13 and 18 to 20 at the Vancouver Aboriginal Friendship Centre, 1607 East Hastings. Call 604-628-5672.
Now in its eighth year, BC Buds Spring Arts Fair bills itself as Vancouver’s longest running multi-disciplinary showcase featuring established and emerging B.C. artists presenting new and experimental work, including Brad Muirhead and Carmen Rosen, playwright TJ Dawe, dancer/choreographer Karissa Barry, and students from Grandview elementary school dressed up in crazy outfits for some reason. And to think we always thought BC Buds had something to do with the legalizing marijuana. The fair runs May 11 to 13 at the Firehall Arts Centre. Admission by donation. For a schedule of events and more information, go to firehallartscentre.ca or call 604-689-0926.
