Park Square Theatre Presents a Full Circle Theater Production of
Fire in the New World
Written and Directed
by Rick Shiomi
Live, In-Person and Fully Staged
October 19 - November 6, 2022
Don’t miss this savvy detective caper that’s smart and fun with a dash of social commentary and plenty of sly intrigue! Sam Shikaze, hard-boiled private eye, fights crime in Vancouver’s Japantown in the years after WWII. This time he’s up against a big time developer intent on bulldozing the community and the New World Hotel. But when the developer’s beautiful Japanese American wife goes missing, it’s up to Sam to find her!
Written and directed by R.A. Shiomi, this world premiere is the third installment of Shiomi’s hit noir-style detective comedies featuring Sam Shikaze. The first play in the trilogy, Yellow Fever, has been produced Off-Broadway, across North America, and in Japan. The New York production received a rave review in the New York Times:
“As a playwright, Mr. Shiomi is his own crafty private investigator, making his points through indirection and with droll humor…. Mr. Shiomi’s Yellow Fever is so captivating that it makes one eager for further adventures of the inimitable Sam Shikaze.” – Mel Gussow, The New York Times

Full Circle Theater Production of
ANTIGONICK
by Sophokles
In a new translation by Anne Carson
May 16 - 28, 2023
The famed ancient Greek play ANTIGONE depicts Antigone’s public defiance of a Theban king’s tyrannical choices, and explores themes of civil disobedience and speaking truth to power.
ANTIGONICK is Anne Carson’s unique translation and re-envisioning of ANTIGONE. Her new title evokes the crucial timing of events, the “nick of time,” in the play.
Anne Carson is an internationally acclaimed poet and translator.
ANTIGONICK will feature actor/dancer Oogie_Push, a citizen of the Meskwaki Nation, in the role of Antigone.
Directed by Full Circle Co-Founder and Core Artist, Martha B. Johnson
