The Arts Club's Granville Island Stage is 440 seats of professional theatre with barely a bad sightline, plus a recently spruced-up upper lobby bar that looks straight out at False Creek, a genuinely nice thing to have between you and curtain. The programming leans to crowd-pleasing comedies and the odd musical, a safe yes even for the reluctant. Browse the Public Market first, then let your phones vanish.
