The Church of Pointless Consumerism

A show on this weekend that may be of interest to consumers (that's everyone) and musical theatre lovers (okay, not everyone):

The Church of Pointless Consumerism
Friday, December 15 thru Sunday, December 17, 8pm
Cambrian Hall - 215 East 17th Ave. at Main in Vancouver
tickets $10-$15 (sliding scale)

It's being put on by The Work Less Party, who promote the idea that we should "Work Less, Consume Less, Live More", and is described as a "hilarious, satirical, musical theatre extravaganza" and "a christmas pageant that will have viewers on the edge of their pews" (does that sell it to ya?)

"Traveling evangelist, Peter Proffet the Prophet of Profit, along with his gospel choir are fully prepared to storm the city of Vancouver with the good words of Consumerism, Production, and more, more, MORE! The message will stir the congregation of faithful customers, and it comes with a lifetime guarantee of conversion for the *gasp* skeptics among us.

With wild sing-a-long musical numbers, dance routines and faith healing, The Church of Pointless Consumerism comes in a sexy package of enlightening, entertaining, down-home religious rejuvenation."

Though I do "work less", it's evenings and weekends, so I don't know if I'll be able to check it out, but I thought I'd do a post on it in case others are interested.  (I hope it's considered okay to mention events on this site if they're related to the change topic.)
