Hardline Productions proudly presents the world premiere of BRIGHT BLUE FUTURE by Sean Harris Oliver, performing in February 19th – March 5th, 2016 at Pacific Theatre, 1440 West 12th Avenue.

Arianna and Alexandra are a live-in couple whose relationship is on rocks. When Carston, Arianna's former boyfriend-now-gay best friend, comes to stay with them for the weekend, a fun night out quickly gets heavy. Drugs, booze, and a cute club take-home named Josh push the party - and the partiers - past their limits, and there will definitely be hell to pay in the morning.

Directed by Shawn Macdonald, Bright Blue Future explores one pivotal night in the lives of four 20-somethings and the decisions they make that will affect their futures forever. Set in Victoria BC during the global economic recession of the late 2000s, Bright Blue Future features Rachel Cairns (Peter and the Starcatcher), Dmitry Chepovetsky (ReGenesis), Genevieve Fleming (The North Plan), and Curtis Tweedie (James and The Giant Peach), as a group navigating a substance-fueled evening rife with feelings of inadequacy, sexual tension, and fear of the impending future.

Bright Blue Future Performs: $15 Previews February 17 & 18 at 8pm; Evenings February 19, 20, 24 - 27, & Mar 2 - 5 at 8pm; Matinees Feb 20, 27, 28, & Mar 5 at 2pm

Bright Blue Future has been featured in the Playwright Theatre Centre's Writer's Colony, the rEvolver Festival's Playreading Series, was shortlisted for the 2014 American Actor UK Playreading Festival, and was a finalist of the 2013 Theatre BC Playwrighting Award. Bright Blue Future is playwright Sean Harris Oliver's first play. His second, The Fighting Season, recently won The Georgia Straight's Critics Choice Award and the Cultchivating the Fringe Award at the 2015 Vancouver Fringe Festival.

Hardline Productions is proud to be partnering on this project with Karmik, an initiative focusing on pragmatic harm-reduction strategies in nightlife and other events, and Qmunity, a queer resource centre where LGBTQ individuals searching for community can meet, guide, and support each other.
