Western Edge Theatre - Nanaimo's professional theatre with a community feel

Nanaimo's professional theatre with a community feel

The website and social network of Western Edge Theatre, located in Nanaimo, BC, Canada

Not your ordinary website!

Western Edge's new website is also a gathering place! In addition to all the usual things you've always done here -- get information about our shows, buy your tickets online, etc. -- you'll be able to interact with Western Edge artists and audience members. We'll have a forum where you can discuss the plays, actors will be blogging about their experiences during rehearsal, we'll be uploading pictures and video from rehearsals, and more. And you can have your own page on the site as well! We hope many members of our audience and the cultural community on Vancouver Island will come to regard this as their virtual home.

Just want to observe? That's fine -- keep visiting as you would any other website; you don't need to do anything special. Want to contribute to the site? Your thoughts on local theatre, say, or cultural politics, or news and views of your own creative activities? Just use the Sign Up box in the upper-right corner. It's free.

See you here!

Why Western Edge is so important, not just to me.

I have been acting in Nanaimo awhile now and I cannot say enough about Western Edge and the man behind it.
Frank Moher, has worked tirelessly on his baby and gets very little back, tangibly speaking that is. However, you just have to see him talking about Western Edge and what it stands for, to know how he feels about it and you know it is way beyond monetary gains that rewards Frank.
Western Edge is an important venue for not only actors, but writers and other creative minds as well. One could… Continue
