Small Stage presents the 40th Holiday Celebration at Bentall Centre on December 1 from 4 to 7 pm
SMALL STAGE brings holiday magic to Downtown Vancouver on Wednesday evening with unique outdoor pop-up performances.
As part of its Winter Series, it’s on hand to celebrate the 40th anniversary celebrations at the Bentall Centre. The Arts Umbrella Dance Company performs pieces from its Mixed Nuts—classical and other unique spins on The Nutcracker.
Live music comes courtesy of soulful singers Marie Hui and Krystle Dos Santos with the Homegoing Brass Band.
Stay warm with free warm drinks and a professional photo booth under the archway of the 45-foot Christmas tree by donation to Covenant House Vancouver.
Small Stage's Winter Series aims to create immersive dance-and-music experiences that interweave installations of light and sculptural elements in public spaces.
