Sounds of Summer
Jun 22-Jul 1 For 10 days and nights, the TD
Vancouver International Jazz Festival (page 66)
puts a swing in the city’s step, with more than 1,800
musicians playing 300 concerts—150 of which are
free. Get down to the legendary sounds of heavy
hitters like Robert Plant (Jun. 29), Macy Gray (Jun.
28) and the undeniably sax-y Kamasi Washington
(Jun. 24), or fall head-over-dancin’-feet for one of the
many hot up-and-comers. Groove on.—Chloë Lai
Me Too?
Jun 1-9 When does sexual fantasy
become sexual violation? That’s the
hot-button topic at the heart of C’mon,
Angie! (page 69), a new play making
its world premiere this month at the
Firehall Arts Centre. In the aftermath of
a one-night stand, when questions of
consent arise, Angie and Reed disagree
on the truth of what actually happened.
This thought-provoking play is sure to
generate discussion.—Sheri Radford

To ocT 8 For most,
breakfast with bears
brings to mind porridge
that’s too hot or too
cold. Not so at Grouse
Mountain (page 78),
where throughout sum-
mer, visitors can share a
meal with orphaned griz-
zlies Grinder and Coola.
Watch the bears’ morning
feeding, learn fun facts
from a wildlife ranger,
then tuck into your own
bear-themed breakfast,
which includes smoked
salmon and “bearioche”
French toast. Now that's a
memorable meal.
