My review of The Graduate (2011, Arts Club Theatre Company) Vancouver BC Canada
Here is my video review of the Graduate, a play by the Arts Club Theatre Company being shown at the Granville Island Stage, April 14th to May 14th 2011.
Based on the story in the classic 1967 film The Graduate and the 1963 novel by Charles Webb. This is a wonderful piece of theatre that really showcases the amazing talents for the arts and the stage that Vancouver has to offer. I highly recommend seeing it.
Directed by Lois Anderson, starring Camille Mitchell and Kayvon Khoshkam.
