SURREY — The men and women of B.C.’s “number-one seniors entertainment troupe” have been hard at work preparing for “Having Fun,” the title of the Vaudevillians’ 2017 bursary show at Surrey Arts Centre.

This year’s show dates are Saturday, Nov. 4 and Sunday, Nov. 5, at 2 p.m. daily.

Funds raised at the annual event benefit performing-arts students at Douglas College in New Westminster.
