A teenager with a dysfunctional family, a first crush, and a body that refuses to follow the rules of time. It’s an unusual combination, and one that has helped set KIMBERLY AKIMBO apart from other coming-of-age stories. At the Stanley BFL Canada Stage in Vancouver, BC, the Arts Club Theatre Company’s latest production brings that story to life.
The Arts Club Theatre Company will present the Western Canadian premiere of Kimberly Akimbo. Directed by Ashlie Corcoran, this Tony Award-winning musical by David Lindsay-Abaire and Jeanine Tesori offers a unique blend of humor and poignancy.
Due to popular demand, IAMA Theatre Company has extended the world premiere of Foursome. Foursome is an exciting and hilarious new work about queer love and chosen family.
Wildly surprising and deliciously savage, Yasmina Reza's machete-edged 2006 dark comedy GOD OF CARNAGE—here directed by Marco Barricelli and continues performances at OC's South Coast Repertory through March 21, 2026—has to be one of the most ferocious dissections of modern-day performative civility ever to grace the stage—an 80-minute, intermission-less pressure cooker that gleefully burns away the polite veneer of bourgeois adulthood to reveal the petulant, immature children actually lurking just beneath. Boosted by a foursome of terrific actors, the play endures as entertainingly voyeuristic in its unsettling relatability. SCR's outstanding production is a brilliantly observed theatrical skirmish—equal parts comedy of manners and psychological boxing match with no clear winners or losers.
South Coast Repertory will open 2026 with a rotating repertory of Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and God of Carnage by Yasmina Reza, translated by Christopher Hampton.
