AUDIENCE ADVISORY: STRONG LANGUAGE, BRIEF NUDITY, PROVOCATIVE IDEAS. Theo wakes up terrified in a room without doors. There's a five page manifesto pinned to him by a knife impaled in his chest. His attacker, Haitham, prays on the other side of the room. And then there's a clock on the wall counting off a thousand years. Inspired by the 2004 murder of Dutch film maker Theo van Gogh by radical Islamist Mohammed Bouyeri, Everything Is Terribly Nice Here is a viscerally intelligent and highly theatrical investigation of multiculturalism, artistic freedom and the politics of all kinds of religious conviction. Tickets: $25 (Reg.)/ $20 (Students & Seniors). Dec. 12 and 13 are both "Pay What You Can" Preview performances. Fri., Dec. 14 is Opening Night. Evening performances are at 8pm, with additional 2pm matinees on Saturdays. For ticket purchase and information call 403.263.0079 or visit www.ghostrivertheatre.com. Event Details.
