WELCOME to WCT’s 2013/14 Season ...our 38th season of producing incredible professional theatre for Kamloops audiences! When programming this season, our goal was to experiment with theatrical form. To produce and present theatrical productions that all ask the question, “What is theatre?” To that end, the season includes a hilarious, fully improvised production; the world premiere of a new work performed without text; a real-life mother and son telling a heartwarming true story; a door-slamming, laugh-riot farce; and an incredible Broadway musical. Each of these productions is innovative in form, and each will leave you wanting more! We’re also very excited to announce that our 13/14 season marks the premiere of the High-Wire Festival. You’ll definitely want to come check out the innovative, experimental work at the festival this season – all of which will continue to ask the question, “What is theatre?” We’ll also continue our very popular Pay-What-YouCan matinees to ensure everyone can experience live theatre. Plus, we will offer even more programming created specifically for young children! It’s an amazing season that will leave you saying: “Now this is theatre!”

Dreary and Izzy By Tara Beagan
SEPTEMBER 12 TO 28, 2013 In turns poignant and funny, Dreary and Izzy is the story of Deirdre and her adopted sister, Isabelle. Deirdre is barely staying afloat as Isabelle’s sole caregiver when gorgeous vacuum cleaner salesman Freddie Seven Horses arrives, sparking in each sister hope for new opportunities and perhaps even love.

Bernard is successfully juggling the hearts of three air hostesses in swinging sixties Paris. But when Boeing introduces a faster jet, flight schedules begin to overlap and Bernard’s precise romantic timetable goes hilariously off course. Fasten your seat belts!
A global phenomenon seen by over 60 million people in 42 countries! The much-loved and stirring musical set against the backdrop of turbulent 19th-century France. Dreams, love, ideals – against the forces of history and human passions. Featuring the songs “I Dreamed A Dream”, “Bring Him Home”, “One Day More” and “On My Own”.
Each night the lovely, French-accented Mimi goes on a blind date with a lucky man drawn from the audience. Critically acclaimed in sold-out runs in Toronto and New York, Blind Date explores the nuances of dating and the pursuit of love. Fast and funny, this improvised performance is different every night. See it more than once!

WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY
Asha Jain and Ravi Jain APRIL 10 TO 26, 2014
Set on the home front during World War II, this bittersweet play is a reflective look at war from the point of view of the women left behind. Balancing drama with humour and filled with the songs that inspired a generation through war, Waiting for the Parade is one of Canada’s most enduring and best-loved plays.
Alan Corbishley is the recipient of the 2012 Kamloops Mayor’s Award for Innovation in the Arts.
Real-life mother and son, Asha and Ravi Jain share the stage and tell this true (and very Canadian) story of generational and cultural clash. When Ravi takes a trip to India, his parents decide it is the perfect time to introduce him to potential brides. Ravi is not sold on the idea of getting married—at least not yet—but Asha fears that time is running out.
“A small masterpiece”

An innovative, multi-media production set entirely to music, Silent Chap explores the relationship between the artist and his creation. Step back into the 1920s for the story of Charlie Chaplin and his beloved “Tramp” character, filled with Chaplin’s trademark hilarious physical slapstick.
