In this catchy, cathartic theatrical memoir, Vivek Shraya recounts her journey to the edge of pop-music fame and back. Blending songs, stories, and anecdotes, the performer offers us a tale of unlikely heartbreak in this poignant, funny, pop adventure.

“Shraya may not have reached the top echelon of pop stardom, but sharing her persistence and self-discovery just might be a bigger gift. After all, these are the stories we rarely hear told.” NOW Toronto

After the Opening Night performance, stick around for an artist talkback with Vivek and Artistic Director Sean Guist. Vivek’ new books will be available for purchase on site.

Accessibility:: Please indicate any accessibility needs, including wheelchair accessible seating or if you require seating with no stairs, in the provided field. We will do our best to assign seating that works for you and get in touch if we have any questions. There is limited ground-level seating (4 tables). Most tables are on tiered risers accessed up stairs.

Please note: The audience capacity is less than 50% of the venue seating capacity for The Metro Studio. Single seats are spaced out and fixed to the floor, and are not able to be moved together.

Masks:: Masks are required at all times when inside the theatre.

Vaccination Passports:: All patrons aged 12+ are required to show proof of vaccination. To meet the legal requirements of the PHO, staff at the theatre will ask to see proof of vaccination and one piece of valid government-issued photo identification for all ticket holders in your party. Patrons can show their BC Vaccine Card digitally, or an out of province/country proof of vaccination. Note, photo ID is only required for patrons aged 19+.

Arrival at the venue:: You may arrive 15-30 mis in advance of showtime. When you arrive at the Intrepid Studio, please be patient, and a staff member will check the vaccine card and photo ID for each ticket holder before you enter the theatre. Be prepared by having your BC Vaccine Card QR code ready to display (or any proof of vaccination if from out of Province) along with your ID before proceeding to the box office tent.
