ITSAZOO presents a hard-hitting world premiere inspired by dark and long forgotten East Vancouver history with Sunrise Betties, taking place February 21 – March 10, 2024 in the basement of The Russian Hall (600 Campbell Street). ITSAZOO Playwright-in-Residence Cheyenne Rouleau draws on the city’s sordid past to weave a fictional tale of an all-female gang operating at the height of Vancouver’s street gang crisis in 1972. Directed by local luminary Jamie King, the work promises to transport audiences 50 years back in time to a once notorious low-income, blue-collar East Vancouver neighbourhood where gangs clash for control of the drug trade, police openly practice corruption, and danger lurks in every alley. This show contains Graphic Violence and Course Language. Not suitable for people under the age of 16. Tickets and information at itsazoo.org.
