Yippies In Love is an original staged musical. It’s an insider view of the turbulent counter-culture days of Vancouver in the early 1970s. The Yippies were a movement with theatricality, wide-ranging social critique that had a lasting impact on the grass-roots popular political activity in Canada and US. The play focuses on a time of great civic involvement/ social concern among the city’s youth. In a few short years, the Yippie movement left a legacy that continues to this day. The issues addressed continue to enrich the lives of Vancouverites, and 2011 marks the 40th anniversary of events depicted in the play. This production celebrates the often unsung/ misunderstood contributions of the individual, celebrating Vancouver as a place where such contributions were and still are possible.

Please note: Due to circumstances beyond the control of Theatre In the Raw - the production of Yippies In Love - will be postponed until futher notice. Anticipated opening will be before the end of June 2011. Visit www.theatreintheraw.ca/tickets.html for details.
