Langley got a whole festival for plays?? I didn’t know they did that.
So are these plays like live streamed or is it only in person? $15 isn’t bad but I’m confused on which days “The Pact” is. July 22 is on there twice right? lol
Domestic Misconduct sounds like something totally different, like courtroom stuff. But then it’s miscommunication?? I mean okay. Also $60 for six shows is actually pretty smart, wish I had friends into Greek goddess kidnappings.
“animals” at a funeral home… I’m pretty sure that means it’s gonna be like sad sad sad, but it says dark comedy so probably just awkward. I can’t even tell when Now Boarding starts like Monday July 13 at 8:30?? Sounds late for airline counter drama. Where even is Langley Little Theatre, 4307 200 St? Never heard of it but I’m guessing it’s close to the highway.
