The Arts Club Theatre Company production of Franklinland runs March 12–April 5, 2026, at the Lindsay Family Stage at Granville Island. Omari Newton directs the Canadian premiere of Franklinland, a sharp comedy by acclaimed playwright Lloyd Suh.   Written in 2023, Franklinland offers a wildly imaginative and thoroughly modern take on the American Revolution—centering not on nation-building, but on the fraught and often absurd relationship between Benjamin Franklin (Brian Markinson) and his son, William (Luc Roderique). As Franklin plants the philosophical seeds of a new republic, King George III appoints William Royal Governor of New Jersey—setting the stage for a familial and political showdown that is as absurdly funny as it is moving. With biting wit, contemporary language, and an agile three-person cast, Franklinland blends historical satire with emotional depth, exploring ambition, legacy, authority, and the struggle for personal identity. The result is a fast-paced comedy that invites audiences to reconsider the myths we inherit—and their faulty realities. Under the direction of Newton, Franklinland promises a dynamic theatrical experience that balances humour, politics, and family drama with a sensibility that resonates with today’s audiences.SPECIAL PERFORMANCES·       Talkback Tuesday Performance: Tue, Mar 31, 7 PM·       VocalEye Performances: Tue, Mar 31, 7 PM; Fri, Apr 3, 7:30 PM CASTJakobe Jenkins (Temple), Brian Markinson (Ben), Luc Roderique (William) CREATIVEOmari Newton (Director), Kimira Reddy (Set Designer), CS Fergusson-Vaux (Costume Designer), Jonathan Kim (Lighting Designer), Rick Colhoun (Sound Designer), Jonathan Hawley Purvis (Fight Director), Jakobe Jenkins (Apprentice Director), Jenny Kim (Stage Manager), Jessica Bournival (Assistant Stage Manager)

River District in Bloom

Gateway Theatre, in co-production with Alberta Theatre Projects (ATP), is proud to present the Western Canada premiere of Wildwoman, a daring and wickedly funny new play by acclaimed Canadian playwright Kat Sandler (Yaga). Directed by Jamie King, this bold production is inspired by real events and figures, reimagining 16th-century French history with irreverence and bite. Running March 26 to April 4 on Gateway Theatre’s MainStage. Based on the shocking true story that helped shape the legend of Beauty and the Beast, Wildwoman centres on a young Catherine de Medici, the new wife of King Henry II of France. Catherine is eager to be on the King’s council, but she quickly learns that her political aspirations matter far less than her ability to produce an heir. Surrounded by scheming courtiers, a powerful royal mistress and a male-dominant court obsessed with legacy and control, Catherine feels trapped inside this patriarchal world. That is, until she meets Pete, a hairy, handsome wildman, kept in the dungeon as one of the king’s collection of caged oddities, who awakens her wild side. Kat Sandler brings her trademark rapid-fire wit to this salacious saga of an infamous bad girl who could not be tamed. What unfolds is a fiercely imaginative and sexy thrill ride spanning decades of Catherine’s life, as three women navigate survival within a brutal patriarchal system. By blending historical drama with contemporary urgency, Sandler uses bold language and razor-sharp humour to explore power, fertility, and gender—challenging audiences to reconsider the stories we think we know and asking: who gets to shape history, and at what cost?Synthia Yusuf takes on the role of Catherine (Cathy) de Medici; Nathan Kay plays Henry II of France. Elizabeth Barrett is Kitty, N Girgis is Diane (Didi) de Poitiers, and Connor Stuart is Pete. The production is directed by Jamie King, with Set Designer Narda McCarroll, Costume Designer Alaia Hamer, Lighting Designer Gerald King, and Sound Designer Nancy Tam. They are joined by Stage Manager Victoria Snashall, with Lester Lee as Assistant Stage Manager. Tickets start at $37, with a Pay-What-You-Will option available. They can be purchased online or by calling the Gateway Theatre box office. Performances are from March 26 to April 4, 2026. Thurs. March 26 – 7:30PM (Pay-What-You-Will Preview)Fri.
