When & Where April 30 - May 17, Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays at 8 pm, Sundays at 2 pm | Jericho Arts Centre, 1675 Discovery Street Director Joan Bryans Set Design R.Todd Parker, Costume Design Claire Turner Lighting Design Sam Cheng Sound Design Josh Osborne Choreographer Danica Kobayashi Stage Manager Andy Sandberg Cast: Alex Bloor, Mukta Chachra, Claire deBruyn, Daryl Hutchings, Jono Klassen, Kim Little, Gaia Preite, Lauren Jane Ross, Liam Atticus Wong Reviewer Elizabeth Paterson This is a lovely, lyrical play. Coburn's influences are clear, the fluidity of the Irish language, the writings of James Joyce and Dylan Thomas, even Thornton Wilder's Our Town, possibly intentionally as the past is present in every scene. It begins at the tail end of the night as a few stragglers (who will become our cast) catch a taxi home. Seen through the cab driver's eyes as the sun rises, the city broadens and wakes as families begin to stir. In the hospital a baby is born. Three generations of a family live and remember as the day passes.Full review
When & Where April 17 – May 3, 2026 | The Massey Theatre, New Westminster. Tickets starting at $38.50 and available to purchase here. Director Chris Adams Choreographer Tracey Power Musical Director Angus Kellett Lighting Designer Robert Sondergaard Sound Designer Rick Colhoun Props Designer Stephanie Barclay Prosthetics/Make-Up Designer Brooke Churchill Set Coordinator Emily Dotson Costume Coordinator Caitlyn Baird Reviewer: Darren Cordeiro On a sunny Sunday afternoon, my young niece and I headed to New Westminster for an uncle niece matinee date to see Shrek The Musical at the Massey Theatre, and we couldn’t have had more fun. The theatre was packed with people of all ages: grandparents and parents with their kids, adult friends reliving their childhood memories of the classic film, and vibrant young children dressed as their favourite Disney characters. In a world that often feels weighed down by negative news, it was heartwarming to see local British Columbians come together as a community to support this performance and simply enjoy a joyful, shared experience.

Elizabeth Paterson I
had hoped, from the title, for a play about the United States, either
as Benjamin Franklin imagined it or as it has become since the Revolution.
Irreverent comedy or historical drama, either would be welcome. In
fact, this play is neither. Instead, the play takes a promising premise
-- Franklin’s unsatisfactory relationship with his son -- and
fails to use it to examine the relationship of the Nation’s
Founding Father and the Nation itself, or to explore real father-son
relationships.Full

Elizabeth Paterson A
long time ago Paddy Chayefsky wrote a satirical but astonishingly
prescient film script about a traditional TV news program up for grabs
by corporate interests. Now Lee Hall's adaptation for the stage feels
more like commentary on current events. Full
