Vancouver's Independent writer and producer, William Maranda , teams up with renowned, Canadian actor, Mackenzie Gray , as he returns to the director's chair, to bring Vancouver a comedy that is easy to laugh at but won't let you forget the reality at the root of the joke. Budget cuts!

As production funding gets smaller and smaller, everyone in the arts industry knows that “the show must go on”. But one person can’t do it alone and when it comes to Vancouver’s little, little, little theatres, who else is there??! Tarot cards, Greek Gods and Pizza will all have to play their parts…

STARRING: Ira Cooper,Tommy Cowles, Erin Garcia, Amy Lester, Bronwen Marsden, Mireille Urumuri

SET DESIGN: Craig Alfredson, COSTUME DESIGN: Naomi Lazarus, LIGHTING DESIGN: Kitty Hoffman

A Vancouver theatre company fears it’s extinction when their annual grant is cut down to an unbelievable $30. With an obsessed playwright fighting for his script's survival, an out-of-work actor pounding at her door and a threatening landlord demanding rent, the General Manager of the And The Rest Is History Theatre Co. wants desperately to satisfy everyone. The Tarot says it's her "spiritual need" to make the impossible happen and produce the play against all odds. She's done it before but with every success, a little of her sanity goes and this time, it may have gone too far -"Did The Goddess Athena just walk into my office?"

In a time when the Vancouver arts industry is suffering from major cutbacks, William Maranda Productions is staging a show that everyone can relate to as well as laugh at… with. Packed with biting wit, neurotic passions, classical allegory and the every day madness of making something from nothing, LITTLE Little little Theatre reflects our city's present condition, where we're all co-existing in a state of panic, surrounded by dumbfounded calm and intense, creative drive.

Originally written for the annual 48 Hour Theatre contest, LITTLE Little little Theatre, not only brings attention to the current state of pressure but has also offered opportunity for artists to perform without sacrifice. November 12^th to the 14^th, 23 actors divided into 4 groups to memorize, prepare and stage one act each, of the four-act play. LITTLE Little little Theatre was performed with each act starring different actors from the last. After an audience vote, the 12 top actors were invited to a private audition and from the top 12, 6 were cast to perform in the play's official debut this April.
