Sunset Theatre in Wells is offering a unique pair of shows this week.

On Wednesday, the theatre will present BEARS, starring award-winning Metis theatre artist Sheldon Elter and an eight-person chorus.

Sunset Theatre director of presentations Julia Makey called BEARS a, "comically dark and unapologetically political play about pipelines," in a press release. The new Canadian play is told through a combination of dramatic storytelling, choreography, projections and an "electronic soundscape."

On Thursday, pianist Patrick Courtin will provide live musical accompaniment during a screening of Charlie Chaplin's classic 1925 silent film, The Gold Rush.

To make reservations, call Sunset Theatre at 250-994-3403. For more information go online to www.sunset-theatre.com.

The Sunset Theatre is located at 2357 Pooley St. in Wells, 80 kilometres northeast of Quesnel.
