Nov 17 - Dec 7: Lisa Ravensbergen plays RITA JOE

A few seasons back, Lisa Ravensbergen was Artist In Residence at Pacific Theatre. Since then she's been working all over Canada, and well before that she was in our Pacific Salt Company! But next up, she'll be playing the title role in this Canadian classic. Wow. Congrags, Lisa!
