Hard Core Logo: Live


Date: January 26 – February 6, 2011 at PuSh Festival
Location: Rickshaw Theatre @ PuSh Festival
Website : www.novembertheatre.com

A partnered presentation with the PuSh Festival, November Theatre, Theatre Network and Touchstone Theatre present a rockin’ stage adaptation of Hard Core Logo, based on the cult classic book by Michael Turner, film by Bruce McDonald, and screenplay by Noel S. Baker; featuring original music by D.O.A.’s Joe “Shithead” Keithley. Hard Core Logo: Live is the story of Joe Dick, the fast talking, hard rocking, gutter punk idealist who had his moment of glory fronting a legendary but now defunct Vancouver band. Living somewhere between East Hastings and a dream, Joe decides it’s time to drag the band back together for one last, ill-fated tour.
