SUMMARY:Port Coquitlam Song Writers Group - Drop In
DESCRIPTION:Connect with local songwriters\, share your songs\, collaborate on new ideas & get inspired at this creative drop-in session in Poco!\n\n\n\nPort Coquitlam Song Writers Group – Drop In\nLooking to share your tunes or get inspired? Join the Port Coquitlam Song Writers Group for a chill\, in-person session! Whether you’re polishing lyrics or just getting the creative juices flowing\, this drop-in event is all about creativity and good vibes. Bring your passion for songwriting. Everyone’s welcome—no pressure\, just fun and music. Come hang out and connect with fellow songwriters in the community! \nThe Port Coquitlam Songwriters Group aims to support writers at all stages\, from first-time participants to those continuing to develop their songwriting practice. The group remains in a drop-in format \, and no previous experience or attendance is required. \nTwo optional creative pathways will be offered allowing participants to choose the approach that best fits where they are in their writing journey. \nFor first-time writers or those looking for structure\, we will focus on writing with focus on our senses. Using guided prompts\, participants will explore sight\, sound\, touch\, taste\, and smell as entry points into lyric writing. \nFor participants who are more experienced or curious about writing to music\, the second pathway will explore writing lyrics to music without trying to make the words fit within the music. Writers may bring instrumental tracks\, chord progressions\, or simple melodies to share but otherwise we will have a few simple instrumental tracks to choose from. This exercise is one that we are hoping will be a organic no pressure way to let inspired lyrics flow. \nThe session will include: \n\nA check-in and\nGuided sensory-based writing exercises\nTime to write alongside music in an open\, pressure-free way\nOptional sharing and supportive reflection\n\nSharing is always optional\, and listening is considered full participation. \nThis workshop is ideal for anyone interested in experimenting with new approaches\, deepening emotional connection in their writing\, or simply creating in a supportive community space. All voices and experience levels are welcome.

SUMMARY:Stage 43: Incompetent Jurors
DESCRIPTION:INCOMPETENT JURORS\nPresented by Stage 43\nWritten by Ian McWethy\nABOUT THE SHOW\nWhen a man is accused of abducting half a dozen cats\, it’s a simple open-and-shut case\, even for a jury that’s filled with oddballs. After all\, every scrap of evidence indicts the accused\, yet\, Juror #8\, a wannabe lawyer\, believes the “Cat Burglar” is innocent. Can he sway the other jury members? Or will they side with Juror #3\, the only sane one in the room? Incompetent Jurors is a hilarious parody of 12 Angry Men. \nABOUT THE ARTIST\nStage 43 is a community theatre group that has been producing quality\, affordable theatre in the Tri-Cities since 1983. Every year\, Stage43 produces three shows at Evergreen. Stage 43 is part of the Theatre BC Fraser Valley Zone and a member of the Community Theatre Coalition. \nStage 43 is proud to call Evergreen Cultural Centre their home theatre\, and continues to make community connections a priority. \n\n\nSINGLE TICKETS ON SALE SEPTEMBER 1!\nAdults: $30 | Seniors: $25 | Students: $25 \nBOX OFFICE: 604.927.6555 | Open Monday – Saturday\, 12 – 5PM \nThis is a co-presentation organized by Stage 43 Theatrical Society.
