WELCOME! Welcome to the 2024-25 season at Western Canada Theatre!

We are so pleased that you’ve decided to Be Our Guest for another terrific year of comedy, music, thought-provoking drama...and a play that will send a chill down your spine...

The stage adaptation of The Woman in Black transports the evocative, spooky settings of the popular English novel on which it is based to a literal theatre, creating a play-within-aplay, and adding a delightful theatricality to the proceedings.

We love ghost stories because they embody life’s greatest unanswerable mystery: what happens to us after we die?

The supernatural in TV and film often hits us over the head with CGI ghosts, replacing the power of the imagination. In the theatre we can share these tales as humankind has for millennia: imagine we’re sitting around a fire, and someone starts to tell a story of something that happened to a friend…

Famous theatre ghosts who continue to haunt our stages on a regular basis include the ghost of Hamlet’s father and the ghost of Jacob Marley. Many theatres have their own resident ghosts, including this one. If you have a moment, turn to the upper right side of the theatre and say hello to Albert...

We are particularly pleased with this production to bring internationally renowned director Kim Collier back to WCT, and back to Kamloops. And we have a new face at WCT, with the introduction of our new Executive Director, Matt Eger: “As we approach Western Canada Theatre’s 50th anniversary season, I am honoured to take on the role of Executive Director and to further champion Kamloops as a premier destination for theatre artists and audiences alike. I am incredibly grateful to the WCT Board of Directors and the entire WCT team for entrusting me with this significant responsibility. I am wholeheartedly committed to advocating for the importance of arts and culture in the lives of Kamloopsians and residents across the BC interior, promoting equity and inclusion, and ensuring the long-term relevance and sustainability of WCT.” Matt Eger, WCT Executive Director Finally, I am very much looking forward to returning to my past love of performing by appearing onstage in front of you, and to share a different experience with you than the one that we’ve taken together for the past seven seasons.

James MacDonald, Artistic Director

DISNEY’S

BEAUTY and the A Tale As Old As Time.

DIRECTOR’S NOTES Welcome to The Woman in Black adapted by Stephen Mallatratt from the 1983 book by English author Susan Hill.

When the rights for The Woman in Black became available, Western Canada Theatre snapped up this beloved theatre show that ran for 36 years in London’s West End. The production opened in 1989 and was performed there until March 2023 for 13,232 performances, becoming the second longest-running non-musical play in West End history, after The Mousetrap. With a legacy like this I was very curious to dig in and unearth what makes this play tick.

I became interested in the underlying social conditions in this ghost story that formed our antagonist villain. People for the most part are not formed in a moral framework of good or bad but life shapes them so. When I have had the opportunity to direct works that harness the revenge theme (Sweeney Todd, Titus Andronicus) I have always gone digging for the roots of this vengeance and to tried to deeply understand our villain… what were the familial, social or political structures that failed them as a person and led them to live within this painful legacy of grief and anger. Good writing will have clues, and this is true with Susan Hill’s short novel, The Woman in Black. Susan Hill was interested in taking the ghost story genre - which is usually in short story format - and challenging it by shifting it into a longer novel format. In this process she was interested in giving her hauntings a psychological motivation. With this underpinning she unlocked a key towards a great ghost story that sustains across her 200 pages. In it her ghost has not found the love or sympathy she needed from her family, her community, the law, or the church after a significant change in her life.

I don’t want to say more about what injustice she suffered…but she definitely has roots that would cause anguish.

But whatever trail life has put before the woman in black… the story warns us that if you turn your grief and anger into vengeance ultimately you are turning that vengeance on yourself by arresting your emotional recovery. You will suffer and suffer and then your misery will create more misery; the vengeance becomes like a disease spreading outward into the community. So Beware! Because the woman in black has not stopped trying to avenge herself yet…

Kim Collier, Director
