MARCH 4-22
"COLOUR TAKES FLIGHT”, an art exhibition by David Pacholko. Mission Arts Centre & home of the Mission Arts Council, 33529 1st Ave. For more information, visit www.missionartscouncil.ca or call 604-826-0029

🎨Opening Reception: March 8, 1-4pm.

The work in this exhibition is inspired by the wild birds that inhabit Pacholko’s backyard. David was guided by his intuition in creating these spontaneous works, in which he has attempted to recapture a moment with gestural black lines and swaths of colour, deconstructing the birds into swirling, fluttering impressions of movement, colour and light, thereby capturing their essence.

Opening Nite Theatre presents "WELCOME TO PARADISE" By Julie Marino, directed by Hazel Eason

📅 FEBRUARY 28- MARCH 16 // Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 2pm
📌 Pekw'xe:yles (St.Mary's), 34110 Lougheed Hwy - in the chapel at the front of the building (facing the river)
🎬For tickets: www.openingnitetheatre.com/box-office

On a secluded Caribbean Island, free-spirited traveler Rory crosses paths with the sharp-witted and independent Evelyn, an aging woman determined to hold onto her autonomy. What begins as a chance encounter soon turns into an unconventional friendship—one that challenges generational divides and personal preconceptions.

But when Evelyn’s overbearing son and his family arrive, tensions rise, secrets surface, and the question lingers: what really makes paradise... paradise? With sharp humor, heartfelt moments, and a touch of the unknown, Welcome to Paradise is a captivating story of human connection, the meaning of home, and the risks we take to truly live.

Don't miss this warm, witty, and thought-provoking play that proves paradise isn’t always what it seems.
