Director’s Note:
It is such an honour to be directing our first youth theatre intensive that performs on the BIV main stage. This incredibly talented group of students have worked hard over the last two weeks to bring to you Peter Bloedel’s The Seussification of Romeo and Juliet! I hope you enjoy the perfect blend of the Bard and Seuss!
BIV performs, rehearses, & gathers on the unceded lands of the Kwantlen, Katzie, Matsqui, Semiahmoo & Sumas First nations
