Vancouver Fringe: Phone Whore
Deriving from Cameryn Moore‘s personal experiences as a phone sex operator, ‘Phone Whore’ elaborates on the undercover world of phone sex services. As a one-women show she relays particular four calls that provides insight on what drives people towards sex and explodes certain taboos surrounding gender explorations of their sexuality.

Vancouver Fringe: Lost in Place
Seth Soulstein presents ‘Lost in Place‘, an interactive outdoor performance at Granville Island featuring a beached whale, a curious and lost alien/spaceman and of course the gigantic yellow crane. A surreal fantasy show melded together by the co-author of last year’s famous Wicked Shorts, ‘Lost in Place’ is an out-of-the-box take on the typical love/loss and never giving up hope theme of regular shows.
