"They liked us! They really liked us!"

THANK YOU, from the bottom of our hearts, to all who joined us on the epic dramatic adventure that was Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Huge thanks, as well, to our venue and partner The Artesian on 13th, and to the good people at SK Arts whose funding support made it all possible.

We loved creating this experience for you, and we hope to bring you more like it in the near future.

Big love,
Your friends at Ekstatika Stage & Screen

DYK? – Here’s a little trivia on the play: Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf – it was first staged on Broadway in 1962 (so Happy 60th bd to your play, Mr. Albee). Then in 1966, the film became the first movie in Academy Awards and cinema history to be nominated for every Academy Award category. And this week, it’s live at the Artesian, in Regina....., so yea, SAME SAME. 😉Tix: https://artesianon13th.ca/
