The Flag Stop Theatre & Arts Festival presents "Aye Aye AI" written by Stephen Vogler and directed by Kathy Daniels and Carla Fuhre. Desperately in need of a new play script, and the Canada Council funding that will keep their theatre company alive, Sarah, Trueman, Liz and Dwight settle on the obvious solution: employ Open Source AI’s Chat GPT to write it for them. What could go wrong? Plenty, it turns out as this play within a play spins into a comedic tug-of-war between real life thespians and a couple of audacious AI characters. Featuring David Francis, Susan Hutchinson, Emma Strong and Andrew Wood.

Flag Stop on the Coast

Fresh off the heels of the Flag Stop Theatre & Arts Festival in Whistler, the Point Artist-Run Centre brings two new plays to the beautiful Heritage Playhouse in Gibsons, BC.
