Winner of the 2026 San Diego Fringe Outstanding Drama Award, Alisha's Light – Forever 57 takes the audience on a journey through Alisha’s magical first year of living authentically. Combining theatrical storytelling and original poetry, Alisha brings to life pivotal conversations with her loved ones that reinforced her own self-acceptance. Her story demonstrates the transformational power of embracing strengths, facing fears and pursuing dreams. Starting with a decision to seek a little bit of happiness on the eve of her 57th birthday Alisha morphed from a reserved prose writer, who feared rejection, into a gregarious performer eager to face the instant judgement that defines poetry slams. Alisha convinces the audience it’s never too late to ask: “What small change can help unlock my best self?” “Alisha’s Light—Forever 57, written and performed by Alisha Richard, is a courageous, moving, and compelling solo work that presents key moments from Alisha’s life, focusing on her gender-confirmation journey…Alisha’s recitation of her poetry is powerful, convincing, and honest, reflecting the voices of people who question and challenge the normalcy of violence, bigotry, cruelty, and judgmentalism. Yet negativity and denial caused by sociocultural pressure are overcome by a strong sense of who she is: ‘the “beautiful woman whom I didn’t know I was meant to meet.’” Yuko Kurahashi, Theatre & Art Critic, Professor Emeritus Theater, Kent State Audience praise: “Her performance was a master class in emotional courage. Alisha didn’t just tell stories from her life; she opened them up, walked us through their shadows, and let us feel the weight and tenderness of each moment.” — Doug Cooper, Author & Motivational Speaker “It would be hard to describe this show on its face and sell it: half poetry slam, half personal memoir; a poet who isn’t an actor, who’s new to performing making her debut with a whole new way of presenting her writing.” — Sarah LeClair, Founder, Riot Productions “From the moment Alisha stepped onto the stage, the audience was captivated. Her performance was not just a recounting of personal experiences but an invitation into a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and joy.” — Sunny Rey, Founder Poets Underground “This is a raw, vulnerable, true-life story of one woman's brave journey to live authentically… There is something here for everyone” — Alex A “What holds us back from living our truth, and what are the consequences? Alisha sheds Light on the subject!” — Rita M “Intimate in the telling, moving in the performance, Alisha’s Light — Forever 57 is an hour-long journey into an individual experience that holds a universal story. Through spoken-word and imaginative staging, Alisha Richard shares large and small moments of change that transformed her life, and in turn, causes us to reflect on our own lives. How we live, who we are when we are true to ourselves—finding joy. This is the feeling I left the performance with: joy. Alisha IS light.” — Judy R “A beautiful and heartfelt love letter to her authentic self. I admire Alisha’s courage in today’s political climate”. — Alfred G Credits Written by - Alisha Richard Directed by - Wilfred Paloma About the Artist Alisha Richard began living authentically as a woman in early 2023. After writing prose for decades, her transition inspired a venture into poetry and spoken word performance to share her journey.A gifted storyteller, in 2025, she became a theater kid at age 59. Over the past 18 months, she has performed in four professionally-staged productions as well as debuting and refining her own story: “Alisha’s Light”.

Can an unloved girl heal the world? From her bold beginnings as a street outreach crisis worker to the battlegrounds of couples therapy, Tamara Lynn Robert has spent three decades trying to make better lovers of us all …while her own love life is an epic disaster. Professionally, she’s unstoppable. Personally, she’s a lover-girl train wreck. From a fevered Fringe fling, to the perils of polyamory, to the lessons in love she never wanted, Lover Girl is a funny, heroic and tender tale about what it really takes to love. Lover Girl celebrates people pleasers (let's stop shaming them!!), front line workers, the lovers, the dreamers and anyone who still dares to believe in love Past Praise for Tamara's Previous Shows: 5 stars "Charismatic" -CBC Winnipeg, 4 stars "Charming" -Eye Weekly, 4 1/2 stars "Genuinely Delightful" -Uptown Magazine, 4 stars "stellar, expert storyteller” -Times Colonist, 4 1/2 stars “ In a word: brilliant” -MondayMagazine Credits Written by - Tamara Lynn Robert Directed by - James Gangl About the Artist Tamara’s love of theatre began at age 13. Her small high school didn’t have theatre classes or a drama club, so she started one herself. In a high school gymnasium, she became the writer, director, producer, costume designer, set designer, and promoter—all rolled into one. In 2007, she began her love affair with Fringe Festivals in Winnipeg, MB when she brought Strange Bedfellows featuring Confessions of a P.K. Pin up to stage. after a series of independently produced shows. In 2010 she toured her solo show Psycho Bitch to three cities across Canada. The show explored her experience of being misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder and navigating the mental health system, opening conversations about stigma, identity, and resilience. After years of working on the front lines as a crisis worker, Tamara returned to school to become a psychotherapist and eventually specialized in couples therapy. Whether in the therapy room or on stage, she has always been fascinated by love, connection, and the stories people carry. Lover Girl grew out of a simple idea: to tell the truth about love. The messy, the funny, the ugly, the heartbreaking, and sometimes embarrassing parts of love. The show is a funny, brave and tender exploration of love, loss, and what we do to avoid both. After all, the most important story we ever tell is the one we tell ourselves about how we have loved and let ourselves be loved. https://www.instagram.com/tamara_sundaynightlove?igsh=Y3Y1OXhxNWM0OGp0&utm_source=qr https://sundaynightlove.ca Accessibility Content warnings: Explicit language; Adult themes; Mentions, themes, or depictions of gun and gang violence, suicide.

***This show has sold out or has low ticket availability*** It's New World Year 1252. Humanity has fled a dying Earth and built a new civilization on the distant planet of Awthfruztas. Orderly, surveilled, and scrubbed clean of anything that doesn't fit. Queerness has been erased from record. Or so the Governing Council believes. Hidden in the cave systems along the shore of an island, a secret archive pulses with the drag history, chosen names, and hard-won identities of Old Earth. And tonight, for the first time in over twelve hundred years, a drag queen is going to step into the spotlight. Written and performed by Aaron Nickol, Space Queen is a one-person sci-fi musical that builds an entire world through storytelling and an electrifying original score. Funny, fierce, and genuinely moving, Space Queen tackles visibility, chosen family, and the radical act of resistance… all wrapped in a story that feels both urgently futuristic and achingly familiar. “A passion project by the queers and for the queers.” ""A transfixing, and harmonic, melancholy journey to the future."" ""I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the beginning stages of this show! I really resonated with the experiences of queer people and artists being shown through a futuristic dystopian world that reflects our past and current struggles for space, visibility and peace. As a drag performer I was touched to the point of tears with the writing and songs in this piece. Space Queen was the highlight of my Fringe experience!!""

Moderately Celebrated Comedian & Author Shawn Hitchins Ribald An Epic Gay Joke Shawn Hitchins reclaims the mic to share the first joke he ever told—a 90s gay joke. Obsessed with cracking its origins, he traces the lewd punchline through centuries of literature, weaving crass comedy and ancient tragedy through his irreverent and fearless storytelling. Blending stand-up with drunk book club, Ribald is a vulgar English lesson, a chronic overshare, and an unexpected return to the stage for this moderately celebrated comedian and author. "One-man flash mob!" Toronto Star About the Artist Shawn Hitchins is the author of The Light Streamed Beneath It (ECW’ 21) and A Brief History of Oversharing (ECW’ 17).

SHEILA! THE MUSICAL is a darkly comic musical satire following Sheila V Toff, a bearded housewife in 1950s suburbia, performing the rituals of domestic life for her neighbours, her husband, and a watchful baby. Recently nominated for Most Outstanding English Production at the Montreal Fringe, the show has established itself as a standout on the festival circuit, touring Fringe festivals across Canada since 2024, and now entering its first Fringe run on Vancouver Island, home of the creators. Sheila spends her days selling domesticity to herself — chores, cocktails, and a smile that's a little too rehearsed. The show blends original music, choreography, and drag performance with dark comedy — and the longer Sheila keeps performing "perfect," the more the seams start to show. WHAT AUDIENCES AND CRITICS ARE SAYING "A delightful concoction of satire, feminism, and fabulousness." — Parton and Pearl, Toronto Fringe Review Reviewers at Intermission Magazine called it "a darkly hilarious drag exploration" of gendered expectations, highlighting drag's power as an art form. Forget the Box's Montreal Fringe review praised the show's researched send-up of 1950s consumer culture and Sheila's vocal stamina — and made the case for seeing it now, before it "has reached the level of success it so well deserves." Credits Created by - Jay Hill Produced by - Adam Khomsi About the Artist "Have It Off Productions brings bold, original drag shows to the far corners of BC, featuring some of the province's biggest drag performers. The company runs regular shows in the Cowichan Valley, hosted by Sheila. Jay Hill is the creator and performer behind Sheila V Toff — self-described as ""Van Isle's belting, bearded bombshell,"" known for Sheila's impeccable live vocals, glamour camp drag style, and big personality. Inspired by their own grandmother, Jay created Sheila! The Musical as a deeper exploration of their drag persona at its core."

Doulas provide physical, emotional, and informational support to people giving birth. This support is non-clinical – think hand-holding, “you got this”, and reassuring a partner that yes, those wild guttural moans and curse words you’ve never heard before mean she’s doing great! Local birth nerd Pamela, who makes her living in the front row of childbirth, delivers a look into this secret, strange, and sleep-deprived netherworld—and how she got there. A show for anyone who’s ever been born. Credits Created by - Pamela Bethel About the Artist Pamela Bethel has worked on and created various theatrical projects. "After the Beep", a show about her teenage answering machine, played at Uno Fest and then Fringe Festivals in Victoria, Nanaimo, Vancouver, Winnipeg, and Toronto where it was held over for Best of Fringe.

Pamela wrote and directed "Cornelius and Titania Or, a Tragedy of the Commons (a comedy)", which delighted Victoria Fringe audiences in 2018. One critic called it “wry, intelligent and ironic”. Another critic may have seen it, but no evidence can be found today. You can read about more of Pamela’s artistic work on her website, if she gets around to updating it by deadline.

Winner of the 2026 San Diego Fringe Outstanding Drama Award, Alisha's Light – Forever 57 takes the audience on a journey through Alisha’s magical first year of living authentically. Combining theatrical storytelling and original poetry, Alisha brings to life pivotal conversations with her loved ones that reinforced her own self-acceptance. Her story demonstrates the transformational power of embracing strengths, facing fears and pursuing dreams. Starting with a decision to seek a little bit of happiness on the eve of her 57th birthday Alisha morphed from a reserved prose writer, who feared rejection, into a gregarious performer eager to face the instant judgement that defines poetry slams. Alisha convinces the audience it’s never too late to ask: “What small change can help unlock my best self?” “Alisha’s Light—Forever 57, written and performed by Alisha Richard, is a courageous, moving, and compelling solo work that presents key moments from Alisha’s life, focusing on her gender-confirmation journey…Alisha’s recitation of her poetry is powerful, convincing, and honest, reflecting the voices of people who question and challenge the normalcy of violence, bigotry, cruelty, and judgmentalism. Yet negativity and denial caused by sociocultural pressure are overcome by a strong sense of who she is: ‘the “beautiful woman whom I didn’t know I was meant to meet.’” Yuko Kurahashi, Theatre & Art Critic, Professor Emeritus Theater, Kent State Audience praise: “Her performance was a master class in emotional courage. Alisha didn’t just tell stories from her life; she opened them up, walked us through their shadows, and let us feel the weight and tenderness of each moment.” — Doug Cooper, Author & Motivational Speaker “It would be hard to describe this show on its face and sell it: half poetry slam, half personal memoir; a poet who isn’t an actor, who’s new to performing making her debut with a whole new way of presenting her writing.” — Sarah LeClair, Founder, Riot Productions “From the moment Alisha stepped onto the stage, the audience was captivated. Her performance was not just a recounting of personal experiences but an invitation into a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and joy.” — Sunny Rey, Founder Poets Underground “This is a raw, vulnerable, true-life story of one woman's brave journey to live authentically… There is something here for everyone” — Alex A “What holds us back from living our truth, and what are the consequences? Alisha sheds Light on the subject!” — Rita M “Intimate in the telling, moving in the performance, Alisha’s Light — Forever 57 is an hour-long journey into an individual experience that holds a universal story. Through spoken-word and imaginative staging, Alisha Richard shares large and small moments of change that transformed her life, and in turn, causes us to reflect on our own lives. How we live, who we are when we are true to ourselves—finding joy. This is the feeling I left the performance with: joy. Alisha IS light.” — Judy R “A beautiful and heartfelt love letter to her authentic self. I admire Alisha’s courage in today’s political climate”. — Alfred G Credits Written by - Alisha Richard Directed by - Wilfred Paloma About the Artist Alisha Richard began living authentically as a woman in early 2023. After writing prose for decades, her transition inspired a venture into poetry and spoken word performance to share her journey.A gifted storyteller, in 2025, she became a theater kid at age 59. Over the past 18 months, she has performed in four professionally-staged productions as well as debuting and refining her own story: “Alisha’s Light”.

Can an unloved girl heal the world? From her bold beginnings as a street outreach crisis worker to the battlegrounds of couples therapy, Tamara Lynn Robert has spent three decades trying to make better lovers of us all …while her own love life is an epic disaster. Professionally, she’s unstoppable. Personally, she’s a lover-girl train wreck. From a fevered Fringe fling, to the perils of polyamory, to the lessons in love she never wanted, Lover Girl is a funny, heroic and tender tale about what it really takes to love. Lover Girl celebrates people pleasers (let's stop shaming them!!), front line workers, the lovers, the dreamers and anyone who still dares to believe in love Past Praise for Tamara's Previous Shows: 5 stars "Charismatic" -CBC Winnipeg, 4 stars "Charming" -Eye Weekly, 4 1/2 stars "Genuinely Delightful" -Uptown Magazine, 4 stars "stellar, expert storyteller” -Times Colonist, 4 1/2 stars “ In a word: brilliant” -MondayMagazine Credits Written by - Tamara Lynn Robert Directed by - James Gangl About the Artist Tamara’s love of theatre began at age 13. Her small high school didn’t have theatre classes or a drama club, so she started one herself. In a high school gymnasium, she became the writer, director, producer, costume designer, set designer, and promoter—all rolled into one. In 2007, she began her love affair with Fringe Festivals in Winnipeg, MB when she brought Strange Bedfellows featuring Confessions of a P.K. Pin up to stage. after a series of independently produced shows. In 2010 she toured her solo show Psycho Bitch to three cities across Canada. The show explored her experience of being misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder and navigating the mental health system, opening conversations about stigma, identity, and resilience. After years of working on the front lines as a crisis worker, Tamara returned to school to become a psychotherapist and eventually specialized in couples therapy. Whether in the therapy room or on stage, she has always been fascinated by love, connection, and the stories people carry. Lover Girl grew out of a simple idea: to tell the truth about love. The messy, the funny, the ugly, the heartbreaking, and sometimes embarrassing parts of love. The show is a funny, brave and tender exploration of love, loss, and what we do to avoid both. After all, the most important story we ever tell is the one we tell ourselves about how we have loved and let ourselves be loved. https://www.instagram.com/tamara_sundaynightlove?igsh=Y3Y1OXhxNWM0OGp0&utm_source=qr https://sundaynightlove.ca Accessibility Content warnings: Explicit language; Adult themes; Mentions, themes, or depictions of gun and gang violence, suicide.

***This show has sold out or has low ticket availability*** It's New World Year 1252. Humanity has fled a dying Earth and built a new civilization on the distant planet of Awthfruztas. Orderly, surveilled, and scrubbed clean of anything that doesn't fit. Queerness has been erased from record. Or so the Governing Council believes. Hidden in the cave systems along the shore of an island, a secret archive pulses with the drag history, chosen names, and hard-won identities of Old Earth. And tonight, for the first time in over twelve hundred years, a drag queen is going to step into the spotlight. Written and performed by Aaron Nickol, Space Queen is a one-person sci-fi musical that builds an entire world through storytelling and an electrifying original score. Funny, fierce, and genuinely moving, Space Queen tackles visibility, chosen family, and the radical act of resistance… all wrapped in a story that feels both urgently futuristic and achingly familiar. “A passion project by the queers and for the queers.” ""A transfixing, and harmonic, melancholy journey to the future."" ""I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the beginning stages of this show! I really resonated with the experiences of queer people and artists being shown through a futuristic dystopian world that reflects our past and current struggles for space, visibility and peace. As a drag performer I was touched to the point of tears with the writing and songs in this piece. Space Queen was the highlight of my Fringe experience!!"" Website: dragsundayproductions.com/space-queen Credits Created by - Aaron Nickol Sound Design by - Jarrett Jacklin About the Artist Shelita Cox is a powerhouse of the Victoria, BC drag scene and the creative backbone to Drag Sunday Productions. With over eight years of experience producing high-impact, high-glamour shows, she has become a pillar of the local queer arts community: uplifting fellow performers, mentoring emerging talent, creating spaces that push the definition of drag as entertainment, and is celebrated as a vehicle for community-building and cultural celebration. A proud Indigenous performer with roots in the Kwak’wala-speaking peoples of the ‘Namgis First Nation, Shelita brings her whole self to the stage. She is an active seamstress, costume designer, and visual storyteller: crafting every look she wears by hand. Her dedication to self-made drag showcases her skills as a performer and creator. Shelita’s creativity extends far beyond the lip sync. She is also a writer and showrunner, having scripted and starred in original theatrical productions like Drag Through Time, a drag cabaret play blending humor, history, and high camp.

Moderately Celebrated Comedian & Author Shawn Hitchins Ribald An Epic Gay Joke Shawn Hitchins reclaims the mic to share the first joke he ever told—a 90s gay joke. Obsessed with cracking its origins, he traces the lewd punchline through centuries of literature, weaving crass comedy and ancient tragedy through his irreverent and fearless storytelling. Blending stand-up with drunk book club, Ribald is a vulgar English lesson, a chronic overshare, and an unexpected return to the stage for this moderately celebrated comedian and author.

SHEILA! THE MUSICAL is a darkly comic musical satire following Sheila V Toff, a bearded housewife in 1950s suburbia, performing the rituals of domestic life for her neighbours, her husband, and a watchful baby. Recently nominated for Most Outstanding English Production at the Montreal Fringe, the show has established itself as a standout on the festival circuit, touring Fringe festivals across Canada since 2024, and now entering its first Fringe run on Vancouver Island, home of the creators. Sheila spends her days selling domesticity to herself — chores, cocktails, and a smile that's a little too rehearsed. The show blends original music, choreography, and drag performance with dark comedy — and the longer Sheila keeps performing "perfect," the more the seams start to show. WHAT AUDIENCES AND CRITICS ARE SAYING "A delightful concoction of satire, feminism, and fabulousness." — Parton and Pearl, Toronto Fringe Review Reviewers at Intermission Magazine called it "a darkly hilarious drag exploration" of gendered expectations, highlighting drag's power as an art form. Forget the Box's Montreal Fringe review praised the show's researched send-up of 1950s consumer culture and Sheila's vocal stamina — and made the case for seeing it now, before it "has reached the level of success it so well deserves." Credits Created by - Jay Hill Produced by - Adam Khomsi About the Artist "Have It Off Productions brings bold, original drag shows to the far corners of BC, featuring some of the province's biggest drag performers. The company runs regular shows in the Cowichan Valley, hosted by Sheila. Jay Hill is the creator and performer behind Sheila V Toff — self-described as ""Van Isle's belting, bearded bombshell,"" known for Sheila's impeccable live vocals, glamour camp drag style, and big personality. Inspired by their own grandmother, Jay created Sheila! The Musical as a deeper exploration of their drag persona at its core."

***This show has sold out or has low ticket availability*** The Endurance set sail for Antarctica in 1914 with twenty-eight souls aboard – only to be trapped in the ice before ever setting foot on the continent. Stranded on drifting ice and later marooned on a remote island, they persevered through courage, ingenuity, and an extraordinary commitment to one another. In this compelling retelling, Melissa Taylor reimagines the legendary expedition with a gender-bent cast, offering a fresh perspective on one of history’s greatest survival stories. Directed by Heather Jarvie (Pick of the Fringe winner 2018 & 2019), the production explores leadership, resilience, and the often-overlooked acts of care that sustained the crew, revealing the maternal and communal bonds at the heart of their remarkable journey. Go for Glory, or Go For Good.

***This show has sold out or has low ticket availability*** All-nighters. Nudity. Nitrous. Just another day in the life of a doula. Doulas provide physical, emotional, and informational support to people giving birth. This support is non-clinical – think hand-holding, “you got this”, and reassuring a partner that yes, those wild guttural moans and curse words you’ve never heard before mean she’s doing great! Local birth nerd Pamela, who makes her living in the front row of childbirth, delivers a look into this secret, strange, and sleep-deprived netherworld—and how she got there. A show for anyone who’s ever been born. Credits Created by - Pamela Bethel About the Artist Pamela Bethel has worked on and created various theatrical projects. "After the Beep", a show about her teenage answering machine, played at Uno Fest and then Fringe Festivals in Victoria, Nanaimo, Vancouver, Winnipeg, and Toronto where it was held over for Best of Fringe. "After the Beep" was given a coveted 5 star review from Now Magazine and was called “a deeply original play”. Pamela wrote and directed "Cornelius and Titania Or, a Tragedy of the Commons (a comedy)", which delighted Victoria Fringe audiences in 2018. One critic called it “wry, intelligent and ironic”. Another critic may have seen it, but no evidence can be found today. You can read about more of Pamela’s artistic work on her website, if she gets around to updating it by deadline. She’s also a birth nerd, an umbrella term that encompasses her work as a birth doula, postpartum doula, lactation helper, and childbirth educator. She is co-owner of Constellations Prenatal, where she has taught hundreds of people about how to prepare for labour, birth, and beyond. Before that, she was a commercial photographer. Before that, she was a stage manager for theatre and opera companies all over the country.
