D. Houghton Gallery announces its support of the theatrical work in progress, Body of Light, with an exclusive event at the home of Dolores Houghton on Shoal Lookout in Gibsons on June 21, the summer solstice.
Body of Light, created and produced in conjunction with the Sechelt Arts Festival by Gordon Halloran and Caitlin Hicks, is a multi-genre theatrical event scheduled for Raven’s Cry Theatre on Oct. 25.
The afternoon/evening event on June 21 will feature drinks and hors d’oeuvres with a stunning view of Howe Sound and Keats Island, plus preview clips introducing Body of Light, as well as short theatrical presentations from the work in progress.
