Workshop West’s 2025-26 Season
THE VILE AND THE VIGILANT
Workshop West announces out 47th Mainstage season: The Vile and The Vigilant - a cycle of new Canadian works that give you VIP access to a series of breathtaking encounters where fact meets fiction, lies become truth, and transgressors come eye to eye with the transgressed.
The Vile and the Vigilant takes us into the eye of the post-truth storm, where what we think we know collides with what we want to believe, where outcomes are spun, and where self-interest races ethics to the finish line. There will be courage and laughter, revelation and righteous rage. There will be backroom deals and secret confessions. And there will be reckoning —with who we are and what we hold most dear in a world where our new normal is an imposter. All at pay-what-you-will prices!
Suggested ticket pricing is $40 per single ticket, and $150 per subscription.
WEDNESDAY - SATURDAY 7:30PM

MY TESTIMONIAL
by Greg MacArthur
A fictional scenario where a theatre artist coaches a witness in a real Alberta crime. Or is it?
An exploration of truth, illusion, and how truth can be constructed drives at the heart of one of our central experiences living in this time. An intriguing evening of theatre unlike anything else you will see this year!

EVERYONE IS
DOING FINE
by James Odin Wade
WEDNESDAY - SATURDAY 7:30PM
SAT/SUN MATINEES 1:30PM
Art, sex, and capitalism. This comedy-drama pulls no punches and keeps you guessing!
When two listless art school friends are brought into the employ of a hedge-fund manager, liaisons are dangerous, the figures are high, and futures are bought and sold.
Pay-What-You-Will is back…
For a second year in a row, every ticket and subscription to every show at WWPT will be available at Pay-What-You-Will pricing. Last year was a great leap forward in making Canadian theatre radically accessible, and we’re making the same commitment to our community again this year. Come experience this not-to-be-missed season at the price of your choosing - we provide the plays, you pick the price!
Suggested Pricing is $40 per single ticket and $150 per subscription.
