Strange things done under the Quadra moon

Imagine a send-up of “The Sound of Music” with parodies of many of the songs

Many islanders already concur: “anything” can happen under the Quadra moon.

Upcoming performances of “The Smell of Money,” written by islander Allen Perkins, will doubtless confirm any lunar suspicions.

Imagine a send-up of “The Sound of Music” with parodies of many of the songs, plus a couple bonus songs from “Hair” thrown in, “and a strong streak of Quadra quirkiness,” adds Perkins.

The Smell of Money features well-loved island actors Julie Douglas, John Nursall, Guy Holmes, Karen Holmes, Ford Cannon and more. It’s directed by Chris Thompson, with musical direction by Linda Cannon, produced in cooperation with Theatre Quadra.

Is Quadra worth plundering? Will a U.S. invasion bring “democracy”? Can the moon effect change?
