Throughout the month of November, Story Theatre Company will be taking audiences on a theatrical journey back to the early years
of the First World War. The production uses letters from the front, music of the era, and other archival material
from the Royal BC Museum. After the show, actors will stay in costume and encourage audience interaction.
