THEATRE TERRIFIC TREE DRUM (1).png

TREE DRUM (RE-MOUNT)

Tree Drum" is told by Bill Beauregarde (Cree/Enoch.) It explores the personal life story and experience of Indigenous theatre artist Bill Beauregarde, who was taken from his family at the age of three. Bill shared the story with long-time friend and theatre artist, Susanna Uchatius (Austrian/Eastern European), that at 9 years old, while in a group home, the crab apple tree in the backyard repeatedly called to him. It wanted to be a drum. So, Bill cut the tree down and made his first drum.  This was the beginning of a remarkable journey - an intuitive discovery of who he is.

 

Re-mounted as an Indigenous storytelling session, “Tree Drum” passes down Bill’s knowledge and experiences invitingly in an oral tradition full of humour and wisdom. Through telling this inspirational tale of discovery, Bill shares an invaluable perspective on Indigenous history and spirituality in the modern age.

HARVEST 2025
 

Throughout the year, Theatre Terrific offers classes and workshops led by practicing professionals throughout the Lower Mainland, and beyond. The classes aim to professionally develop the artistic and theatre production skills of the members of our communities. In Spring every year, we invite the graduates of these classes and members of our communities (everybody is welcome) to audition for a new production. Then, by September, we present the show to the general public; It's simply the year's harvest!

The show is developed through a collaborative process with the artists; we start only with a general concept and then build characters and scripts through weekly creative workshops.

COMING SOON AT VANCOUVER'S FRINGE FESTIVAL:
