Stories from a Suitcase is a high energy 35 minute piece of theatre for all ages. Join 3 storytellers as they share some adaptations of Italian Folktales. From a very wise clock, to a farmer trading his sheep, to a sad sad prince these stories are strung together by music, acrobatics, and audience participation. As if by magic, their three suitcases contain all that is needed for each story and perhaps enough for one more. Sponsored by the Burnaby Arts Council and housed by the Deer Lake Gallery, enjoy this short, original Canadian playlet created by the 2023 Burnaby Summer Theatre Program, mentored and directed by Jessie award winning artist, Susan Bertoia.
The Burnaby Summer Theatre Program, under the Burnaby Arts Council wing, is a program that has run for 25+ years in which a group of emerging artists create a free, all ages, and outdoor original show and perform it for the Burnaby community. This program works to break down the barriers and allows people from all walks of life to witness the magic of live theatre. This year’s emerging artists Christian Billet, Stella Jack-Rennie, and Emma Schellenberg are mentored and directed by Susan Bertoia.
