Celebrating the art of making musicals. This production featuring some of the best young musical theatre talent in Vancouver, London and beyond will whisk you away on the adventures of four young friends who set out to make a musical and along the way find out about themselves and win the coveted New York Musical Theatre Festival for best show!
- Sept. 7-23, 2023
Celebrating friendship. Based on a true story. The show that make us famous returns for another turn with its great music, some new friends and a totally re-imagined production. We couldn’t imagine an anniversary season without this one!
Created and originally directed by Ted Swindley.

Celebrate a blues icon, an actor and that artist who lights up every stage with songs and stories, tried and true. He’s been a fixture here since the beginnings in Deep Cove and he’s back for what is always a SOLD OUT event! Two nights only! - Jan. 19-20, 2023
Celebrating Laughter and Mayhem! We produced it twice before, back in ’94 and ’99. This much-loved escapade about the making of a play and all the characters who inhabit the production has been held as the best example of farce anywhere in the world and will be making its way to both First Impression AND to Metro Theatre. It’s such a big show we have to run it in two theatres. - Feb. 22-March 9, 2024
Celebrate Opera like never before! Prepare yourself to enjoy one of the most unique theatrical experiences you’ll ever “experience,” when you “experience” acclaimed tenor Luciano Paparazzi for an evening of Operatic Comedy. Yes, finally, Opera and comedy TOGETHER as they were never mean to be! Canadian theatre veteran Kieran Martin Murphy not only morphs into this hilarious spoof of the great Pavarotti, but he also takes on a cavalcade of other musical greats in an effort to prove his thinly veiled point. - May 2-19, 2023
