The 2008 Vancouver youth production was performed in between June 5 (in honor of the revolution) and June 19 2008. It was put on by a children's
theater troupe by youth aged ten to eighteen. Two actors portrayed each of the major roles.
The production lasted two weeks, and collected money that went to a local homeless charity.
