The seasons are officially changing! You can feel it in the air… We are excited to announce what’s on and upcoming for Realwheels in OUR new season!
Realwheels is thrilled to produce SEQUENCE by Arun Lakra as part of Presentation House Theatre‘s 2017-18 season.
SEQUENCE is an extraordinary piece of Canadian playwriting that explores questions of determinism vs. free will via two stories that interweave like a strand of DNA. Get ready for razor sharp, cerebral dialogue and an edge-of-your-seat story!
We invite actors with disabilities to audition. View character descriptions and submission info here: https://www.vancouveractorsguide.com/auditions/sequence
We welcome submissions from outside of Vancouver.
New Play In Development
One of Canada’s celebrated playwrights, Janet Munsil, is currently writing ACT OF FAITH for Realwheels’ 2018-19 season.
Inspired by a story that baffles the medical/scientific community, arouses conflicting emotions in the disability community, and is celebrated by the religious community to which ‘Faith’ belongs, we guarantee you’ll be jazzed and challenged by ACT OF FAITH’s subject matter, and excited by the unique theatrical vocabulary we’re developing for production.

Community Opportunity!

Our next community-based Wheel Voices project is WHEEL VOICES POWER PLAY.
WHEEL VOICES POWER PLAY is rooted in our eagerness to scrutinize and challenge questions of identity and marginalization. With a group of 12-18 community participants, we’ll be offering a six (6) day intensive, applying Augusto Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed methodology, and culminating in a public presentation. Special guest Tom Scholte will facilitate.
Community round tables / info sessions will be scheduled for spring 2018, followed by a two-hour “Rainbow of Desire” introductory workshop. The six-day intensive will follow.
We’re committed to creating a healthy, safe environment. WHEEL VOICES POWER PLAY is open to anyone who self-identifies with disability. No theatre experience necessary. Workshop is fully subsidized and is offered free of charge. Space is limited.
Please contact info@realwheels.ca if you would like to participate, or attend an info session.
