Silent entertainment
Wonderheads are a theatre company that preforms wordless and in full-face masks. Their latest play, LOON, tells the story of a lonely janitor with a child-like imagination and fascination with the moon. This play is a mix of physical theatre, comedy, and pathos, all wrapped up in a love story. Opening night is at UVic’s Phoenix Theatre at 8 pm; tickets are $15 for students. Visit finearts.uvic.ca/theatre/phoenix for more information.

This will set you back $24 and the show starts at 7:30 pm. Head to allisoncrowe.com for more info.
