Surrey, BC.   Coming up next... * March 3-21, 2004. Our next main stage production is Practicing Democracy. Working with the City of Vancouver, Practicing Democracy will use theatre for the creation of community-based law. The focus of the project, as voted on by Vancouver residents, will be the results of the cuts to welfare. This audience-interactive production will be created and performed by people living the issues. At the performances, the creative solutions that audience members offer during the interactive Forum Theatre events will form the basis of a Legal Expert's Report which will go to Vancouver City Council and then be part of their discussions on civic policy. This is a chance for people to use theatre to communicate with Government and define civic law. * Click here to read more about Practicing Democracy. Dr. David We are very pleased to announce that in Headlines' 20th Anniversary year (2001), the University College of the Fraser Valley (UCFV) has bestowed an Honorary Doctorate of Letters upon David, Headlines' co-founder and Artistic/Managing Director. UCFV's press release reads: "Headlines Theatre has worked with communities struggling with social issues, including First Nations groups, unions, women's centres, alcohol and drug programs, and school districts, to name just a few. For his commitment to using theatre as a language for education and social justice, David Diamond is being recognized during Headlines' 20th anniversary year with an honorary degree from the University College of the Fraser Valley. When asked about his life's work, Diamond says he's not doing anything revolutionary, but rather helping to bring theatre back to its roots."
