Happy Wednesday, Victoria!
Jump the mid-week hump by participating in something fun and enriching such as a book launch, live theatre or a drop-in writers group.
If you’re feeling something more fast-paced, check out band Let’s Hear It at Duke Saloon or Phillips Comedy Night at The Mint!
Here’s 5 things to do in and around Victoria on Wednesday, April 24th:
Book Launch at Caffe Fantastico
Head over to Caffe Fantastico this Wednesday to celebrate Paulo da Costa’s new book, Trust the Bluer Skies: Meditations on Fatherhood.
Described as evocative and heartwarming, Trust the Bluer Skies is a literary time capsule—a father’s vivid account of his son’s early years, a sensory-rich journey through rural Portugal, and a poignant exploration of masculinities that is positive, compassionate, and nurturing.
This event is free to attend and there will be a book signing following the reading!
- Where: Caffe Fantastico Roastery, 965 Kings Road
- When: Wednesday, April 24th at 6 p.m.
Spring Cabaret: Hope SpringsInferno
Atomic Vaudeville, a beloved local theatre production company, is thrilled to be celebrating 20 years of creating live art!
Marking this monumental occasion will be their 87th cabaret titled, Spring Cabaret: Hope SpringsInferno, held at the Victoria Event Centre (VEC) from April 24th to 27th.
Hope SpringsInferno will present your hosts Hope and Death as they lead an all-star cast on a journey described as a “pop-culture worm ride through spicy dunes, idyllic children’s forests and the mean streets of mob-era Fernwood.”
Preview tickets are $27 and standard show tickets are $33—both can be purchased online.
