FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – August 15, 2012, Vancouver, BC. The extensive collection of props belonging to the Vancouver Playhouse Theatre Company, which have been locked away since the company ceased operations earlier this year, will once again see the light of day on local stages.

The Renegade Arts Society is very pleased to announce that it has been granted custodianship of the large and invaluable collection that had been amassed over the Playhouse’s 49 years and includes props from literally thousands of plays and musicals.

This month PAL Vancouver and PAL Studio Theatre welcomed new Theatre Manager, Melanie Wickes. Melanie worked most recently with the Vancouver Playhouse Theatre Company and the Vancouver International Wine Festival. She looks forward to working with local companies, artists and PAL residents and supporters at such a unique and versatile space.

With less than 5 weeks until the third annual Culture Days event, now is a great time to start planning your weekend.

If you are like many who have registered their Culture Days activities and are now planning your promotional strategies, consider working collaboratively with others in your immediate vicinity (block, neighbourhood, building, etc.) and create a Culture Days hub.
