Proudly supporting the arts in Kamloops

It’s our pleasure to bring you a fresh new comedy from one of Canada’s hottest new playwrights, Kristen Da Silva.

Several years ago, a funny thing happened in Canadian theatre (or a not so funny thing)—we had a “brain drain”, where many playwrights stopped writing for the stage, and turned their talents to television. While the result has been a golden era of TV comedy and drama, with Canadian playwrights at the forefront of many outstanding TV series, it seemed we were short a generation of writers who brought amusing, insightful comedies to Canadian stages.

In recent years we’ve seen a resurgence, with playwrights such as Mark Crawford and Ms. Da Silva writing comedies with heart and topical relevance, featuring expertly drawn and recognizable characters. These are all people we know, whether it’s from the curling club down the street, the Friday night card game, Happy Hours, or the company watercooler. These plays succeed because of their characters: their joys and struggles, foibles and relationships are identifiable, down-to-earth, and very, very funny.

We’re also proud to be able to showcase the work of so many wonderful Kamloops artists in this production, from director to designers to cast. As our city grows, we are attracting and keeping so many terrific artists to live and work in our community. As always, we thank you, the audience, for supporting WCT in our efforts to continue to provide world-class theatre made right here at home.

Enjoy.

James MacDonald, Artistic Director
