Music, theatre, pride and comedy all play a part in another diverse week on the Wet Coast (will summer ever arrive?!?) as we present our gay choices for the week of 11 – 17 June 2012.
Of course, you’ll want to check our Events Calendar for details of all the latest happenings around the city. You can also get our daily events feed directly on your iGoogle homepage! Got an event? Send us the details and we’ll get it added to our calendar (and maybe see it listed here in the coming weeks).

Leaping Thespians bring their original comedy back to the stage.

THURSDAY, 14 June: Vigil
A self-described “group of mature artists”, Like Minded Theatre Co-Op presents Morris Panych’s dark comedy Vigil about an egotistical and embittered bachelor who descends upon the deathbed of his old aunty to hasten her demise. Deliciously absurd, incredibly funny and poignantly tender from one of Canada’s preminent playwrights. Visit http://www.brownpapertickets.com for tickets and information.
