The Mourning After, a dystopian tale from a familiar parallel universe is touring across northern BC now, a theatrical production complete with dark humour, songs, and dancing! Collaborating across distances, this play is a joint effort between Valemount BC’s Wishbone Theatre Productions, Gold Pan City Dance of Quesnel BC, and Dunster BC’s prog-metal ensemble Dream Heavy. Wishbone’s Artistic Producer, Sharon Stearns wove together this performance with the original music and script written by Seth Macdonald of Dream Heavy, and dance choreography by Jessie Herman, known for her Foxxie Follies dance troupe.
Tying together the talents across the geographic distances is the theme of the production that Stearns notes, “this is a show about our human need for power & conquest, colliding with our human need for love, and justice, and community.” The show is on the road this April 2026 from the 10th to 24th, then headed further through the province in September.
