Outdoor Theatre

Tonight Russ and I will be joining a couple of our friends to experience “Theatre Under the Stars”. We’ll be going to see Irving Berlin’s Annie Get Your Gun.

Theatre Under the Stars (TUTS) produced operettas and musicals 1940-63 at the Malkin Bowl. The original TUTS was founded under the auspices of the Vancouver Park Board by board superintendent A.S. Wootten, conductor Basil Horsfall and actor E.V. Young, with advice from Gordon Hilker, to provide entertainment in Stanley Park in Malkin Bowl, which was a band shell for summer concerts. – Source

Built in 1934, the band shell is a two thirds replica of the Hollywood Bowl and was created to honor W.H. Malkin’s wife.

I’ve never experienced outdoor theatre before so this will be a treat indeed.
