UFV Theatre presents Pages of Time, a new theatre performance created for the 2025 Devised Theatre Showcase.
The Devised Theatre Showcase is the final project presented by UFV Theatre’s fourth year Devised Theatre class. Led by instructor, Parjad Sharifi, it is a chance for students to apply everything they have learned during their time at UFV and create a production together from scratch.
We invite you to come to the UFV Abbotsford Performance Studio (D105) and see what our students have worked so hard on.
Opening night is Thursday, April 24 at 7 pm, with tickets available on Eventbrite.
Followup performances take place at the Interpret Festival on Friday, April 25 at 6 and 8 pm, with tickets available on a first-come-first-serve basis.
We grow up surrounded by books, but which chapters create the library of our mind? Pages of Time is a performance that engages with the power and nature of books. Follow the reader as they are whisked from cover to cover of the favourites from childhood to adulthood. Delight in the power of books and the joy of escapism; but do tread lightly, for we do not know where fiction ends, and reality begins.
The student collaborators this year are Racheal Arnold, Ashy Crowston, Lydia Gunnink, Aimee Payeur, Alex Simpson, and Mark Urano. The production is supported by a student production and design team that includes Arty Urdabayev (projection and sound designer), Sterling Kai Pollock (lighting designer) and Marie Brideau (stage manager).
