March is an exciting month for theatre in Victoria, particularly the Belfry Theatre. Theatre aficionados will want to travel to Victoria BC to catch some of the SPARK Festival, just now underway.

SPARK promises a good number of miniplays, play readings, and four new plays. In addition, there are professional development workshops, and the unique Belfry 101 Live. More about that below.

The four new plays are: Agnes B, about cabaret singer and actress Agnes Bernelle. The Russian Play is a "dark and comic tale of a Russian peasant girl" by one of Canada's most acclaimed young playwrights, Hannah Moscovitch. Tiny Apocalypse explores a meltdown at the office. The Drowning Girls presents three brides, three bathtubs and three murders.

The Miniplays are just plain fun. Seven 10-minute plays (four one week, three the next) take place in unconventional spaces all over the building. You'll love these plays, created by some of Victoria's independent theatre companies.

Belfry 101 Live is a truly remarkable production. Themes and images from the current season's plays are explored, examined and unpacked by a team of remarkable high school students who have been working with the Belfry all season.
