WELCOME On behalf of all of us at WCT, welcome to our 43rd season of live, professional theatre. As Elf says, It’s great to be here! This season, our plays celebrate the passionate, the brave, the brilliant, and the delightfully ridiculous. There are two world premieres, two toe-tapping, leap-from-your-seat musicals, and shows that have played to acclaim across Canada. It’s great to be at the theatre—it’s a place of imagination, of sharing time with friends and family, and of celebrating our city and community. Kamloops has been my home for two years now, and like many of us, I feel so lucky to live in this wonderful part of the world. It is my honour and joy to help tell stories that bring us together, teach us something about ourselves, and make us smile, cry, sing and cheer. We are also proud of our work in developing new Canadian and Indigenous stories that speak to us here at home and carry the name of Kamloops across the country. We invite you to join us on the journey this season, and to be as proud of Western Canada Theatre as we are—it belongs to all of us.

MADE IN ITALY He’s Back!
Farren Timoteo returns with MA DE I N ITALY—a raucous coming-of-age story about an Italian teenager growing up in Jasper in the 1970s, caught between two worlds and determined to make his mark. Filled with great songs (Italian and Disco!) and smart comedy, this is a not-to-be-missed tale about a kid with the heart of Rocky Balboa and the moves (and hair) of John Travolta.
