Evening Activities
Friday 23 October — two great options on Granville Island after the conference day.
Both are booked directly with the theatre, not through conference registration.
A legacy sponsor of the ABCDE
The Arts Club Theatre Company is a legacy sponsor of the ABCDE and welcomes more than a quarter of a million patrons every year through its main stages, educational initiatives, and provincial touring programs.

Add a fantastic show to your conference experience
Playing at 7:30 pm on 23 October at the waterfront Lindsay Family Stage, next door to the Granville Island Market, Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors by Gordon Greenberg and Steven Rosen is a hilarious adaptation of the gothic classic, gleefully turning the tale on its head but never losing track of its heart—that’s where the stake goes, after all.

Showtime: 7:30 pm, Friday 23 October
Where: Lindsay Family Stage, 1585 Johnston Street, Granville Island

Deadly Dinner Party — 7 pm on 23 October (tickets $33–$40)
Five VIPs receive letters from an eccentric millionaire, summoning them to a mysterious dinner. When murder is served as the first course, a detective must interrogate each guest and solve the crime before it’s too late. Accusations fly, alibis unravel, and every new revelation sends the mystery in a completely unexpected direction. With every twist created on the spot, no two performances – and no two killers – are ever the same!
