The Vallican Whole Community Centre

ROOF, a reno-centric comedy by LUCAS MYERS
2020-03-07 19:00 - 22:00 UTC | Vallican Whole, 3762 Little Slocan South Rd., Winlaw, Bc, V0G 0B2, Canada
Much-loved Kootenay theatre-maker Lucas Myers returns to the Whole for one night only, performing his newest reno-centric comedy, Roof.
DOORS are at 7:00PM, show starts at 7:30PM!
Tickets are $15, available online here, at Rambling Rose, or at the door.
What is it, to be a good person? Dave knows. In fact Dave thinks he has such a lock on it he wants to show you how to be good, too! #howtobegood #davechats #growthhacking #personalgrowthaintnomyth #greatgoalsoffire
From the creator of A Beginners Guide to Nelsonia, CAMPGROUND and DECK comes a new comedy. Weaving together elements of stand up, physical comedy and Lucas Myers’ trademark brand of observational humor, ROOF stars Dave, a highly successful real estate agent who is living the dream: beautiful kids, nice car, great wife, gorgeous sound system, designer kitchen…
However, just as he is about to launch his own self improvement video series , @HiMyNameIsDave, he discovers his refurbished character house isn’t quite as refurbished as it’s supposed to be. Major roof issues suddenly cause cracks to form in his perfect world as he struggles to find a contractor who can take the job on short notice and live up to Dave’s exacting standards. Enter Stevie, a genial journeyman roofer with aspirations of being a stand up comic, who is the only person capable of dealing with Dave’s narcissistic hyper vigilance. As they work together on the roof, Stevie forces Dave to confront his own shortcomings and come to terms with what being a good person really means.
Please note: This performance is not suitable for children.

Story Games
2020-02-22 17:30 - 21:30 | Vallican Whole, 3762 Little Slocan South Rd., Winlaw, Bc, V0G 0B2, Canada
Come together and create stories through play. Explore strange possibilities as a new character. Laugh together!
Roleplaying games are a form of collaborative, creative play. They use rules and structure to make telling a story together less scary. Every game works a little bit differently – some take us into light-hearted comedy, while others give rise to serious, transformative drama.
This is a monthly event! We’ll offer a variety of game options, and encourage you to bring something to run if you’re a seasoned player.
Dinner menu still to be decided. Any requests?

Winter Locavore's Feast
2020-02-09 01:30 - 05:00 | Vallican Whole, 3762 Little Slocan South Rd., Winlaw, Bc, V0G 0B2, Canada
Carnivores eat meat, Locavores eat Local!
Saturday, February 8th, The Rural Alternatives Research & Training Society is hosting its Winter Locavore Feast at the Vallican Whole Community Centre.
Come celebrate our local food growing, cooking and eating, as well as our wonderful & sometimes unusual talents, and gather with all. Doors open at 5 PM, dinner is at 6, and figure out what you are going to do for Six Slocan Valley Minutes starting at 7 PM. (There will be a supervised creative arts workshop in the basement for children, starting at 6:30 PM).
So bring a generous Potluck Dish made with as many local ingredients as possible (meat is ok, but mark your dishes with ingredients) and come out at 5, dinner at 6, and Six Slocan Valley Minutes at 7. This is where all who want to get up on the stage and share almost anything they want to for no more than 6 minutes…could be a poem or a story, a rant, a song, or a lesson. Two once took apart a chain saw and put it back together in six minutes, others made Pesto, one man taught his child to rub two sticks together to make fire… watch out for the Hook! Operated partly by the children of the community.
There will also be a Silent Auction with interesting objects, antique and new, an exceptional set of motorcycle leathers for some lucky woman, services, amazing books, artwork, pottery, chotchkes and large gift baskets all donated by Kootenay businesses and individuals to support the work of RARTS and the Vallican Whole Community Centre, as well as to celebrate the Local Food Movement of the Kootenays and those who grow our food and work the land.
There will be a fabulous meal, great laughter, fun for children and theatre as only we as a community can make together. Hope to see you there! Donations welcome at the Door!
