PLAY Society

PLAY Society PLAY Society is a non-profit organization that provides affordable theatre and musical theatre programming to local families. P.L.A.Y.

We also host a season of professional musicals. The Professional Live Arts for Youth Society (P.L.A.Y.) is dedicated to bringing Arts programs to children and youth everywhere we can! Too long have arts classes been unaffordable and inaccessible. With every dollar counting these days, parents are having to prioritize and cutback on certain extracurricular activities for the family. Going to the mo

vies, eating out and after school programs are big ticket items that many of us are going without. The Barbara Howard Foundation is putting an end to one of those items through their new non profit, P.L.A.Y. It was given this name because at the core of the arts and every child is simply play. will bring theatre professionals to Langley and provide top tier classes that will result in a professional production to anyone who wants it. Classes will run as 10 week semesters and students will create a piece of theatre that will be performed at a theatre during the final class. The goal is to make them as cost friendly as possible. These types of classes normally cost between $9-13 per hour, P.L.A.Y. classes will come in around $4 per hour which hopefully makes them affordable to everyone. Creating these classes are two local theatre professionals; Jessica Anne Nelson and Brad Tones. Jessica Anne Nelson is an award-winning theatre director, creator, and producer in Vancouver, with a B.A. in Theatre Honours from the University of British Columbia. Jessica has had a life-long love of creative theatre. Growing up on a 40-acre plant nursery in Langley, she developed a passion for theatre created out in nature, learning that she could use the environment around her as both source material and stage. She has been teaching children and youth, aged 2-13 visual art and theatre classes for the past 2 years in the Greater Vancouver area. Brad Tones has been teaching drama for 9 years throughout the Greater Vancouver area, most notably StageCoach theatre Arts and the Tones Academy of Arts. He is an accomplished actor, director, writer and teacher. Brad is a theatre graduate from SFU and currently resides in Maple Ridge with the 3 loves of his life, Amber and their two girls Kaydence and Callie.
