As Mother’s Day approaches, I’d like to recommend a lovely alternative to flowers and scented bath bombs, nice as those things are. For me, as a busy multitasking mom, the best gift is to escape all the swirling chaos and to just focus on one thing: namely a live performance. It could be a play, a musical, an opera, a symphony, or a concert. There’s something so special about spending a few hours totally present to the scene in front of you, without being pulled away by your phone, planning, cooking, cleaning etc. Also, watching other people express themselves creatively is just magical… especially if one of those people are your children!

So I’m really excited to go see my daughter perform in the funny and fantastic musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat with Smash Theatre. I saw it for the first time last weekend and was so impressed. It was a colourful kaleidoscope of song and dance, with great sets and impressive costumes, right down to the sparkly golden sneakers! Now I want some…

If you live in the lower mainland of BC, hope to see you there! Shows are this Friday evening, Saturday afternoon and evening, and the finale is a Sunday matinee.

For $30 for adults or $25 for kids, you are getting way more than your money’s worth for this very energetic, professional and enjoyable show! So come on, y’all, take your mama to the theatre!
