GVG info table at The Arts Club
GVG info table at The Arts Club
Date: May 3, 2025
Time: 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Location: Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage, 2750 Granville St., Vancouver, BC
Description: Visit our info table at the Arts Club when you attend one of these two performances of Casey and Diana. This powerful drama will resonate with Stephen Lewis Foundation supporters as it’s set in 1991, the peak of the AIDS crisis, when Diana, Princess of Wales, visits Casey House, Canada’s first free standing AIDS hospice. Inspired by true events, this drama reminds us of how community, joy and compassion can persist, even in the face of an overwhelming pandemic. We are reminded of the heroic caregivers in Africa supported with the funds we raise here at home. We look forward to meeting theatregoers on May 3. From the play: “I swear, I absolutely swear that hope has a sound.” Info and Tickets: artsclub.com
