Some Assembly Theatre Company is launching its 25th season with the World Premiere of OUR LAST TREE in the historic Performance Centre at Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Centre from Wednesday, April 30 to Saturday, May 3.
For 25 years, Some Assembly Theatre Company’s collaborations between youth and professional artists aim to promote awareness, wellness, dialogue, and positive social change around social issues and issues faced by youth. The company is the recipient of the City of Vancouver Youth Award for outstanding contribution to the youth community and the Deryck Thomson Award for exceptional contribution to community building and well-being.
Written and directed by Valerie Methot leading a creative team of diverse youth. The new play, OUR LAST TREE features youth artists; Ayden Ramzan, Alastair Hamann, Arlo Lim, Ariyan Ramzan, Phoenix Lee, Skyler Lee, Vienna Wu, Camille Kang, Jen Belen, Charli Kemper-Bird, Ivy Pina, Von Lochan, Victor Chow, Ryleigh Pascua, Aaryaki Parsekar, Hannah Wong, and Greta Bradsher.
OUR LAST TREE stands in a world where youth bring us the news, alerting us to the urgency to save our planet and each other. A stunning interconnection of artistry, humanity and care, this apocalyptic theatre production symbolizes the fate of this world with one special tree whose branches entwine with lifelines of countless hands.
A raging storm has taken the lives of many, including three at a climate protest. Observed by a ghostly figure, will this Spirit Guide invoke the deal that could give us the chance to change everything? You can inspire positive change, OR, watch the world implode. Which do you choose?
OUR LAST TREE runs from Wednesday, April 30 to Saturday, May 3, 2025, at Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Centre, 181 Roundhouse Mews, Vancouver. Find full show details of the creative team, show times and tickets online at someassembly.ca
