Your Bio

The Old Slocum House Theater is Vancouver's oldest Non-Profit Community Theater; we celebrated 43 years in 2008. Hermine Decker, the founder of the company, and Robert Hidden adopted the old house before it was to be torn down, and had it brought up from the river to its current home in 1966.
