Chairlifts
are a respite to the tired, a godsend to the lazy and a soapbox
to the chatty. A ride up the mountain in silence is, well,
a ride wasted. Steeping into a gondola or boarding a
chair, you never know who you're going to meet or what they
— or you — are going to say. Chairmates are the ultimate
captive audience.
“Chairlifts are a bit like Airplane Seat Lottery,”
says local writer and Chairlift Revue producer G.D. Maxwell.
“You never know what kind of weirdo you're going to end up
next to, what they're going to do or say and how you're going
to react. There's no restroom to escape to, no steward
to call for help but at least the ride ends quicker than a
cross-country hop.”
The TELUS World Ski and Snowboard Festival's Chairlift
Revue reunites talented writers with the over-the-top
actors of Whistler's Short Skirt Theatre Company for an evening
of original live theatre centred around conversations on
a chairlift.
Local writers Cindy Filipenko, Lisa Richardson and Maxwell
have joined forces with near-local writers Jules Older and
Paul Malm to create memorable, if not always loveable, characters
who share a passion for skiing and a fervent belief that chairlifts
are considerably more than just a means of uphill travel.
Join us at Rainbow Theatre on Monday, April
16 th for an evening of local live theatre. Be amused, puzzled,
thrilled and shocked… but mostly be happy these were chairlifts
you didn't wind up riding yourself. Or did you?
