Blue Surge tells the story of Curt, a small-town cop, and Sandy, the 18-year old prostitute he meets in a raid on a massage parlour. Curt finds an unlikely kindred spirit in Sandy and begins a relationship with her that puts everything he’s worked for – his career, his friendships, and his engagement to his fiancee – at risk. But Curt sees a future with Sandy, an escape from his difficult past. As the two of them chase their dreams, they must learn a skill that is foreign to them both: they must learn to hope.
Twenty-Something Theatre is a Vancouver based independent theatre company dedicated to producing contemporary theatre that is provocative, edgy and relevant to our generation. We are committed to providing Vancouver’s next generation of theatre artists with opportunities to pursue their craft and we strive to enhance Vancouver’s theatre community with productions that entertain and evoke the lives of today’s young people.
Celebrating our 5th year of production, we have featured some of the city’s best up-and-coming artists in such highly acclaimed works as This Is Our Youth by Kenneth Lonergan, The Shape of Things by Neil Labute, The Fever by Wallace Shawn, Suburbia by Eric Bogosian and last summer’s sold-out production of Unidentified Human Remains and the True Nature of Love by Canadian playwright Brad Fraser.
