UFV Theatre is excited to present the first production of its 2022-2023 theatre season, Ghosting of Sumas Lake, directed by Dr. Michelle LaFlamme

In November 2021 the Sumas Prairie region experienced a historic storm, a month’s worth of relentless rain in three days, causing catastrophic flooding and havoc that destroyed homes, farms, livestock, and forced mass evacuations and displacement. Exactly one year later, UFV Theatre has created a devised show based on the student’s experiences of the devastating Sumas Prairie floods, exploring the impact of our climate crisis, the stories of community loss and resilience, and how we continue to be ghosted by our experiences on the land, history, and the past.

Performances will be held at the UFV Abbotsford campus Performance Studio, Building D, 105. The Preview matinee will be on Wednesday, November 30 at 2:00 pm. Opening Night will be Thursday, December 1 at 7:00 pm, with additional performances on Friday, December 2 at 7:00 pm.Closing: Saturday, December 3 at 2:00 pm.

All bookings can be made through Eventbrite and ticket registration ends 2 hours before the performance start times.

Tickets are “pay what you like”, with options for $0, $5, $10, $20, or $40.
