In 2005 Bowen Islander, Pauline Le Bel, wrote and produced a musical play that told the story of Bowen Island from cosmic history to modern times with the voices of many people, real and imagined. The musical was presented as live theatre on a stage in the open air with the forest of Crippen Park as a living backdrop. It included lots of music from a small orchestra and at least eight original songs. One of the shows was video taped, and this week (at last) it was posted on YouTube. I could embed it here, but it would be more useful if you followed this link. If you enjoy it, please click the thumbs-up button and subscribe — and maybe leave a comment. Doing that will help others to find this gem.
More recently, Pauline has written a book about Howe Sound-Alt’ka7tsem called Whale in the Door. This is a well-researched factual account of this amazing place. Read about the book here.
