WELCOME
The Arts Club first presented Rick
Miller to great success at the Stanley
Theatre (as it was then known)
in 2000 with his one-man show
MacHomer. We have followed his
various one-man creations with
great interest since, but were not
able to find the right time to present
him until now, in partnership with
the PuSh International Performing
Arts Festival, as our annual copresentation. BOOM uses multimedia in a fascinating way—and
once more we are treated to an
inspired look at a generation that has
experienced so much. With the world
seemingly in disarray with so much
turmoil, it is timely to have a multitalented creator like Rick remind us
of the roots of what has been called
the “greatest” generation. As we
enter 2016, we must take a moment
to look around us and marvel at what
we have here on the West Coast, in
one of the most desirable cities to
live in on the planet.
At the Arts Club, we’re also
marvelling at collaboration. We’ve
moved our administration offices,
6 BOOM
wardrobe shop, and most production
rehearsals to a shared space with
Bard on the Beach at the BMO
Theatre Centre in the Olympic
Village. (It also happens to be the
home of the Arts Club’s newest
addition to our theatre family, the
Goldcorp Stage, so come check it out
if you haven’t already!) Neither we
nor Bard would be in a new home if it
wasn’t for our collaboration. Equally,
the PuSh International Performing
Arts Festival recently moved to their
new home at The Post at 750, behind
the CBC building. And they share
their space with Music on Main,
DOXA, and Touchstone Theatre, all
of whom worked together to create
their new space. It’s been an amazing
couple of years for arts collaboration
in this city and that can only be a
good thing. The more not-for-profits
like us and PuSh work together
to create and present art on this
city’s stages, the better for a more
creative and imaginative community
surrounding it.
Thank you to Norman Armour and
his great team at PuSh, and thank
you for being here for tonight’s
collaboration between the Arts Club,
the PuSh Festival, and Rick Miller.

ARTISTIC DIRECTOR’S CIRCLE
The Arts Club Theatre Company relies on your philanthropic support to ensure the strength and vitality of the company. As a non-profit
arts organization, the Arts Club could not exist without the generosity of our individual donors. Ticket sales cover only a portion of our
production costs, so we rely on community gifts to close the gap. Please consider joining us by becoming a member of the Artistic
Director’s Circle today. Contact Parmida Zarrinkamar, Manager of Individual Giving, at 604.687.5315, ext. 261, for more information.

A MESSSAGE FROM THE PUSH FESTIVAL
Congratulations are in
order. All of us at PuSh
stand and applaud!
Bill and his team have
pulled off something
truly extraordinary.
The creation of a new
theatre is an auspicious event—of a
magnitude, meaning, and reach that
is… well, even spiritual. The Goldcorp
Stage at the BMO Theatre Centre
is a remarkable achievement and a
spectacular addition to the region’s
cultural infrastructure. The makeup and
largesse of our city has shifted ever so
slightly, and we are all now a little richer
and for it. And we will be for many,
many years to come.
The act of envisioning this grand
new edifice has brought together two
venerable institutions. The teaming
up of the Arts Club with Bard on the
Beach has given us a sparkling new
place for community making, offering
up exciting new opportunities to
express our communal imagination.
It’s fitting that this glorious new facility
was completed under the watch, and
watchful eye, of Peter Cathie White, the
ACTC’s new Executive Director.
Theatre is nothing if not a team
sport—a collective willing of
imagination; of possibility; of reality
making. On the stage we may be drawn
to find what is familiar: our desires
and vanities, our pains and joys—a
fully drawn picture of ourselves; at
other times, perhaps, we hope to
find a different world, a different self,
something decidedly “other”, a wholly
different reflection facing us. In both
instances, we learn something of
ourselves through an artist’s creative
vision, through the lens they fashion of
the forces at play in ourselves and in
our world(s). Mad Men’s Don Draper
famously pitched that our lives were
a carousel of memories and images.
BOOM too is a carousel; one that
could not be imagined without a
century documented by the journalist’s
trade, photography, broadcast media,
and publications such as LIFE,
Maclean’s, Rolling Stone, and the like.
Rick Miller is a virtuoso. As the creative
force behind BOOM, he is what’s
commonly referred to as a triple threat.
Well... actually that’s not completely
true, because in addition to being a
consummate actor, mover, and singer,
Miller is a brilliant mimic. Anyone lucky
enough to have caught a performance
of MacHomer (his dexterous Simpsons
take on the Scottish play), can attest
to his dizzying skills. Yet he just as
serious as he is mischievous, and is
a long-time collaborator of one of the
theatre’s great auteurs, Robert Lepage.
Miller shares with Lepage a sense of
the “alchemical.” They are at heart
magicians. And like Lepage’s, Miller’s
art shimmers and flickers.
Rick Miller is a man of the theatre. I
entreat you to sit back, or lean in…
for no matter what your disposition,
or what you may be wishing to find,
you are in for a treat—the thrilling
experience of a true artist, a performer,
and an entertainer.
Norman Armour
Artistic and Executive Director,
PuSh International Performing

WRITER’S NOTES
“That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the
most important of all the lessons of history.” — Aldous Huxley (1959)
I’m a storyteller, not
a historian. Historical
facts only interest me
inasmuch as they help tell a story,
for stories are how we learn from our
mistakes—and from each other.
BOOM is a collage of stories that
I’ve been documenting about
the generation that immediately
preceded me: stories of the famous
and the not-so-famous; stories of the
living and the no-longer-living. Each
story in itself might be worthy of a
full play, but in this case I’ve chosen
to paint them into a larger picture.
My hope is that by spiraling through
25 tumultuous years (1945 to 1969),
we can all gain perspective not only
on who we were, but who we are now
and where we’re going.
Think of BOOM as a living, breathing
time capsule. It starts with a “boom,”
it ends with a “boom.” I hope it stirs
up your own stories, so that we can
share them together in the lobby after
the show.
Explosively yours,
Rick Miller

OLIVIER BOURQUE
Stage & Production Manager
Having graduated in 2009 in Stage
and Technical Management, Olivier
Bourque was given the opportunity
to work at the heart of Ex Machina,
Robert Lepage’s production
company. His first years there were
spent as the head stage technician
in operas and large-scale touring
productions. In 2012, a first occasion
arose in which he could combine
his passion for work and travel:
he began to tour with Lepage’s
acclaimed Andersen Project in the
United States. Since then, his taste
for ‘the road’ has only multiplied. He
began working as a stage manager
and technical director on smaller
projects, notably with québécois
companies touring youth theatre
to Eastern Canada. Always on the
hunt for new challenges, Olivier then
joined Rick Miller’s BOOM team as
the stage and production manager,
no small feat given the show’s
technical complexity.
