A Little Bit of History

Theatre In the Raw started out of a storefront cafe called La Quena Cafe on East Vancouver's Commercial Drive, in 1994. We rehearsed and performed there for nearly three years, producing over 125 one-acts in over 43 nights of theatre within a period of time. While housed at La Quena we applied for and received a Canada Council Exploration grant, allowing the theatre to go on two tours along the Squamish corridor and Sunshine/Sechelt coasts. There was an outdoor theatre day of 16 performances at Grandview Park on Commercial Drive with the help of a Vancity Credit Union community grant. We raised a tent along with a wooden stage, and had over a thousand people come and see a full day free of Theatre in the Park. We have since performed in over 45 venues both in the southern/interior half of British Columbia and in Seattle, Washington for the 1998 Seattle Fringe Festival.

Since 1997, we have moved toward mainstage performance work. Our mainstage plays usually consists of two to three acts with a show run of 2 to 4 consecutive weeks. We are also committed to organizing mini-tours, in and out of the Lower Mainland of BC for many of our dramas. This gives the actors, running crew, and administration members of the company greater experience with the nuts and bolts of running a semi-professional travelling theatre company. It allows for quality, risk-taking artistic works with substance. We have produced nine full-length mainstage plays. Five were revived classical plays and we have premiered four original Canadian playworks in Vancouver.
