EAST …
how far would YOU go for love?

Playwright and comedian Lucas Myers (The Amazing and Impermeable Cromoli Brothers) brings his latest creation, EAST to the Harrison.
EAST is three interconnected plays that explore our all too human need to love and be loved and the lengths, literally, we will go for it.
Act 1, We Are Going on a Journey (or “How I Learned to Love the Greyhound), takes the audience on an epic 68-hour bus ride from Vancouver to Toronto, featuring a comic mix of characters all played by Myers.
Act 2, The Landlord’s Daughter, explores the challenges in starting over after a mid-life break up, relocating to a new city and navigating a disastrous rental complicated by emotional entanglements.
Act 3, The Forgetful Prince, is a puppet show that examines what happens if you have everything provided for you, but suddenly the world wants everything from you.
Wildly imaginative and with original songs on guitar and ukulele, EAST is a one of a kind theatrical experience not to be missed!
