Cast off your Canadian politeness and show off your Canadian know-how, as Nanaimo's Western Edge Theatre presents The Great Canadian Challenge, a fundraiser on Saturday, May 6th.

While enjoying a beer and burger (because what could be more Canadian?), contestants will be presented with questions on all things Canuck, with prizes going to those demonstrating the most true patriot savvy.

“Enter a team,” says artistic director Brian March, “or we’ll join you up with one when you arrive. And then get set for some fun and friendly competition. You’ll get a jump on Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations, and also on our 2017-18 season, which will feature an all-Canadian line-up.”

All proceeds go to Western Edge, one of the leading engagers of theatre artists and technicians on central Vancouver Island.

The Great Canadian Challenge begins at 6:30 pm on Saturday, May 6th at the Taphouse Restaurant Upstairs, 321 Selby St., Nanaimo. Tickets cost just $25, with a beer (or other beverage) and burger plate included. A $10 tax receipt is also available.

Individual tickets, or teams and tables, may be booked now, online at westernedge.org or by phone at 250-816-6459. Seating is limited, so early purchase is advised.
