ITSAZOO has an intern! It’s awesome and she’s awesome. We’re a super small company and she had to make a good case to her program at Capilano University for wanting to work with us. She was able to convince them and we’re so happy it has worked out. She’s been with us now since October […]
The ZooCrew is back in Vancouver. Hello! Nice to see you again beautiful city. Not so much today though. Today we were welcomed back with an absolute downpour. The one ton has been unloaded and returned, the luggage has been unpacked and we are officially back in action in the city. Did we miss anything […]
Victoria is a beautiful city. The ZooCrew has been here now for over two weeks and I have seen a visible change in all of us. We’re calm, we’re serene, we’re peaceful and we’re happy. There was a lot of work to be done leading up to the presentation of Death of a […]
Tonight is the opening of Death of a Clown at the Phoenix Theatre. We have had a really awesome amount of tech time for this show – more than we’ve ever had before and will probably ever get again. We had time for a full Q to Q, a tech run, a tech dress, a […]
This week ITSAZOO is heading to Victoria to perform Death of a Clown at the Phoenix Theatre at UVic. Most of us involved in the show went to UVic for our BFAs (Seb, Colby, Eugene, Kyle, Mere, Chris A and W, Cam and Me). Being presented by UVic allows us to be in a bigger […]
ITSAZOO is hard at work on a remount of Death of a Clown that will be happening at the University of Victoria from October 12-23. Returning to where we went to school has had us thinking about what we’ve done since that time and why we do what we do. Here’s a brief manifesto by […]
I know what you’re thinking “ITSAZOO doesn’t have a show going on in Vancouver right now, what the heck and I going to do if I want to see sweet theatre?”. Well, here’s what our friends at No Bells and Whistles are up to. This might help to fill those long and lonely nights until ITSAZOO comes back with […]
This Friday, September 24th at 8pm, Katie Hood will perform a workshop reading of her new play, “The Animal Show” at Carousel Theatre. Admission is pay-what-you-can, suggested donation of $5, and it will be a licensed event (art + beer = awesome!). Here is a summary from her on the piece and why she has […]
ITSAZOO’s next production is Bildungsroman by Duncan Paterson at the Fringe Festival, a show that we are co-producing with Slam Ink. Below is an interview with Duncan Paterson about his Fringey work of art. Having only just discovered that holding a plugged-in beard trimmer near your script isn’t an effective way to “create a buzz […]
When we first went into rehearsals for Robin Hood I was concerned with my interpretation of the police. In the show, they’re essentially depicted (with the exception of one do-gooder) as robotic bullies who just follow orders. They lack sensitivity when it comes to dealing with the social problems that plague our society and don’t […]
