Featurette: "The Happiest Days of Your Life"

The amount of effort that goes into putting on a theatre production is incredible. Directing, producing, set design, props, lighting, sound, costumes, makeup...and we haven't even mentioned the actors yet. Though this is the first year we've been a part of West Point Grey Academy's annual play, it's immediately apparent that there is a very talented group of people dedicated to its success.

This year, West Point Grey Academy chose John Dighton's farce "The Happiest Days of Your Life". We're currently producing the full video that encompasses all three acts of the production, but in the meantime enjoy this behind-the-scenes look.

A spe­cial thank you to Jai Mathur’s mother, Roma Sumra, for intro­duc­ing me to Ali Mar­gulius, the Pro­ducer for this show. As a long-time friend of the fam­ily, I can’t help but admire how Jai has grown indi­vid­u­ally and aca­d­e­m­i­cally while at West Point Grey Acad­emy.

Our Namesake

Dur­ing this time, it was Theo that sup­ported his brother, both finan­cially and emotionally. After Vin­cent passed, Theo (and later his wife Johanna and their chil­dren) ded­i­cated him­self to the pro­mo­tion of his brother’s mas­ter­pieces. It was only over the course of decades that Vincent’s work became bet­ter known. 

This was a story that res­onated with us. That an artist like Van Gogh would remain unknown with­out the hard work, love, sup­port and pas­sion of others.

Just like our name­sake, our stu­dio is a col­lec­tion of thoughts and ideas sup­ported by a net­work of hard-working, lov­ing, sup­port­ive and pas­sion­ate peo­ple. And every day we’re thank­ful for them, for we wouldn’t be who we are with­out them.

The name “Vin­cent + Theo” actu­ally pays homage to Vin­cent Van Gogh and his lesser known brother, Theo. And it was the dynamic forged by them that cap­ti­vated us.

When Vin­cent Van Gogh orig­i­nally cre­ated his works, he was an unknown. His work unrec­og­nized. He sold but a hand­ful of paint­ings and dis­cour­aged the few writ­ers that showed inter­est in his work. He was actu­ally sus­pi­cious of suc­cess and was con­cerned that early recog­ni­tion would cor­rupt him.
