Help my friend build & produce the most important theatre in Vancouver

Alright, alright, sorry guys. Sorry GBM.

What sorts of shows? I'm not entirely sure yet, I just trust her judgement and sense of culture.

Is it a just movie theatre or is that a catwalk and space for a fly system I see? Are those wings?

What sort of shows does she want to put in there? Any production space or is it a road house?

Did either of you actually read her site? looks pointedly at Mallinson

Theatre Specs from the site: 300 seat theatre built in 1910, once The New York, an exceptional venue that hosted an astonishing number of fantastic performers. (Some as well known as Neil Young, Sonic Youth, Jane Siberry, and Crispin Hellion Glover.)

Plans for artistic use: Complete with a full sized stage, a balcony with box seats, and a fully functional projection booth, the bones of the space hold limitless promise - able to show films, dance, theatrical productions, acoustic and amplified concerts, and cabaret events. In the foyer, artists both local and international will be able to advantageously display their work, whether it is photography, painting, drawing or sculpture.

Based on the ideas she's thrown out it sounds really cool and makes me wish I lived in Vancouver, because it sounds like the sort of alt-cultural artistic thing that I'd maybe enjoy killing time attending.

WILL ANY OF THESE SHOWS CONTAIN GROWN MEN IN CARTOON ANIMAL OUTFITS

OR POSSIBLY PEOPLE PRETENDING TO BE DRAGONS

Only if it's my birthday. Hell, I might even perform.

The due-date's very, very soon now. Please, contribute if you can! I want this to happen, both for Vancouver and my friend. This will make her life.

I contributed a little, but I honestly don't think she's going to make it, man. Which is sad to see.

(http://www.foxtongue.com/) Looks like she made it. Hopefully the debt from the personal loan she used to cover a bit combined with the effort of trying to rebuild and manage a theatre/artspace doesn't destroy her.
