Welcome to the Western Edge 2025-2026 Season!

"Boy Player" — April 17th to 26th, 2026

Written and performed by Frank Moher

Moving, surprising, and often unexpectedly funny, Boy Player is the true story of what happened when Frank Moher was orphaned as a kid, and suddenly found himself transplanted from Edmonton, Alberta to New York City. It’s also about how finding your passion, or passions — in Frank’s case, theatre, and a young woman named Diana who had been through similar experiences as a child — can change and maybe save your life.

Filled with great musical theatre songs and sometimes deeply emotional, Boy Player will touch your heart, and lift it, too.

Frank Moher is a playwright whose work has been seen throughout North America and internationally. As an actor, he recently appeared locally in the musical The Cult of Brother 12, playing Linus, the infamous cult leader’s psychiatrist. He and Diana, his wife, live on Gabriola Island.

This play includes themes of depression, anxiety, loss, and death … and showtunes …

"7 Stories" — June 5th to 14th, 2026

Written by Morris Panych

Join Western Edge Theatre for the new fourth show of this season, performing in June of 2026! Considered to be one of Canada’s all time greatest plays, and brought to you from the director of Canadian epics Yaga (2025), Drag Queens on Trial (2024), and Knight of the Bat (2023), get ready for 7 Stories by renowned Vancouver playwright Morris Panych!

A man is perched on the ledge of an apartment building, preparing to plunge to his death. All about him, the building’s inhabitants pop in and out of their windows, revealing snippets of their own incongruous lives. As he contemplates the meaninglessness of his existence, he sees into the lives of others and what it all could mean in this fast-paced, sophisticated and absolutely hilarious darkly humoured play. 

Be ready to laugh at the absurdity of it all!
