Gulf Islands Secondary School’s 2nd Story Theatre presents Journey to the West. This Chinese classic was written in the early fifteenth century, and is adapted and performed by the GISS Grades 11 & 12 acting class. The play is set in Ancient China and later in Ancient India. The audience will see Buddhist temples, small fishing villages, The Court of Heaven, and much more. Journey to the West focuses on the relationship of mind and body, and how one reaches their destiny.

Featuring sneaky monkeys, wise monks, greedy pigs, kind Bodhisattvas, and the Tathagatta Buddha himself, this play will leave audience members, perhaps, almost as enlightened as the Buddhist monks themselves! A not-to-be-missed performance!
