Beginning in 2008 with the China Tea Deal trilogy, we just completed our successful 2011 season with A Good Woman of Setzuan and our first-ever Halloween event, Judge Dee & The Haunted Garden.

Thanks to everyone who’s supported our work at the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden these past years!

at the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, 578 Carrall St.

Open: 7pm - 10pm (entry every 10 minutes)

Join us this Halloween as, for the first time ever, we transform the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden into a terrifying theatrical Haunted House. Featuring nearly 30 actors, dancers and musicians, this one-of-a-kind experience is inspired by Robert Van Gulik’s classic Judge Dee murder mysteries. Brave the Garden’s haunted pathways, uncover clues, then warm your bones at the old Tea House as you try to piece together the crime. But WATCH OUT! You never know what may be lurking around the next corner….

WARNING: Not for young children or the faint of heart!

Over the course of our 3-night special Year of Science presentation, we performed our world premiere of The Bucky Show to audiences aged 6 - 94. A tremendous thanks to every one of you for supporting our work and for your wonderful feedback! Here are a few of the many compliments we received:

“Was utterly captivated, moved, challenged and inspired by The Bucky Show with Daniel Deorksen. It’s a brilliant ’synergistic’ compilation of incredible ideas spanning the length and breadth of science, architecture, history, politics, environmentalism, geometry, dare I say even spirituality? DON’T MISS IT!”

- Spencer Atkinson, Computer Programer, Vancouver

“I’ve never been more fascinated and entertained. You know I’m talking Bucky Show. I hope everyone goes to see this amazing show.”

- Steve Pelton, Actor/Comedian, Vancouver

“Damn! You really MUST see this SHOW. Daniel Deorksen’s transformation and development of this piece is phenomenal. If you care about this Planet and live in Vancouver, go to Telus World of Science tonight.”

- Sabrina Prada, Actor, Vancouver

Thanks also to Vancouver filmmaker Rob Leickner and his amazing team for documenting closing night’s performance - we look forward to having their incredible footage available very soon.

STAY TUNED! A Good Woman of Setzuan is up next!
