It's a play; it's a musical; it's a gas, it’s about the movement man! "Yippies In Love" by Bob Sarti Music by Bill Sample Directed by Jay Hamburger Venue: Woodwards Social Housing Building (Amenity Room) at 100 West Hastings. Vancouver was the protest capital of Canada, and the Yippies were its most colourful and controversial provocateurs. That was 1970, and now the behind-the-scenes story can finally be told. Yippies In Love, a play with all-original music will premiere in March 2011 in Vancouver. Yippies... is an insider view of the turbulent counter-culture days of Vancouver in the 1960s and '70s, when the modern mass movement for social justice was emerging. The play deals with an important issue for all activists: how to find the right balance between being an advocate for social change, raising a family and living out meaningful ideals amidst disturbing political events that deeply affect peoples' lives. Visit www.theatreintheraw.ca for details. To help, contact Jay Hamburger, at 604-708-5477.
