Nelson’s Capitol Theatre is throwing out the invitation for February 6 for another sneak peek of the much-anticipated home-grown sketch comedy series Southern Interior.
Back by popular demand, this special celebratory event featuring cast and crew is sure to brighten up the dark February nights.
A warm-hearted satire, Southern Interior recognizes and plays with the universal appeal of Nelson – a desirable small city nestled in the picturesque mountains of BC’s interior. A traditional mining town in indigenous territory where outsiders of all stripes have bee finding refuge in its colourful heritage homes for decades, it’s the ideal location for collection of contemporary character sketches, all showcasing the personality an individuality of its eclectic residents.
“I’ve lived in Nelson for almost twenty years, and this city and its residents continue to amuse, amaze and humble me every day,” said creator and director Amy Bohigian.
“People who live outside of Nelson can’t quite figure us out, and I wanted to use humour to capture our contradictions and poke fun at how earnestly we’re all trying to become better versions of ourselves.”
“It’s been exciting to work on a project that really showcases the character of Nelson and the characters of Nelson,” said producer Gregory Mackenzie.
“People here genuinely mean well and care for each other, and it’s the heart of Nelson which really stands out in Southern Interior.”
Filmed in the summer of 2024, the series was created and directed by Amy Bohigian, produced by Gregory Mackenzie, stars local talents Lucas Myers, Michelle Hart, Lynne Karey-McKenna, Jonathan Ramos, and features a 100 per cent local cast and crew.
Southern Interior will be released to the wider public, making its world-wide debut on a streaming service in 2025.
