As she struggles with a chaotic home life\, the uncertainties of new friendships\, and a budding romance\, Kimberly decides to make the most of the time she has and embarks on a great adventure to find the happiness she craves. \n“Kimberly Akimbo is a story that explores family\, identity\, and the challenges of growing up in a way that feels fresh\, quirky\, and deeply human\,” said Corcoran. “It’s funny\, irreverent\, and surprisingly tender. What I love most is its courage—it invites us to embrace life in all its messiness and to choose joy\, even when circumstances are far from perfect. In a time when people are craving authenticity and new perspectives\, Kimberly Akimbo gives us just that. I’m thrilled to bring this remarkable story in its Western Canadian premiere to our audiences.” \nWinner of five Tony Awards\, including Best Musical\, Best Book of a Musical\, and Best Original Score\, Kimberly Akimbo blends sharp wit with profound heart. Lindsay-Abaire’s quick-witted storytelling paired with Tesori’s catchy and emotionally rich score create a memorable musical that is both laugh-out-loud funny and quietly moving. \nThe production begins at the Stanley BFL CANADA Stage on April 2 and runs until May 3\, with opening night on April 8.

SUMMARY:Conversations in Trust Vancouver: Canadian Authors Make Sense of Our World
DESCRIPTION:Join prominent Canadian writers and leaders in the arts\, business\, and society for a national conversation on connection. \n\n\n\nCanadian writers create the connective tissue that bonds us — their insights inform our thinking on the issues that shape culture and their voices represent us to the world abroad. Authors tell stories of who we are and who we might become. Through the shared heritage of their books and the deep thinking that informs them\, writers bring complexity and nuance to a time that needs them. Yet\, the work of building connection is fraught with questions about how community can be held together when individuals hold disparate views\, and misinformation and misunderstanding are weaponized to sow discord. \nWith 50 years of supporting writers as the truth-tellers of our world\, Writers’ Trust of Canada believes that we need writers to help us navigate the future. Writers’ Trust beneficiaries of 50 years of literary programming will bring their ideas to stages and communities across the country with the goal of helping us see that\, despite how it can feel in tumultuous times\, there is more that connects us than divides us. \nThe Vancouver event features the following authors: \nKamal Al-Solaylee \n\n2017 Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing winner\n2012 Hilary Weston Writers’ Trust Prize for Nonfiction winner\n\nElizabeth Hay \n\n2018 Hilary Weston Writers’ Trust Prize for Nonfiction winner\n2015 Atwood Gibson Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize finalist\n2002 Writers’ Trust Engel Findley Award winner\n1997 Atwood Gibson Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize finalist\n\nEden Robinson \n\n2017 WT Fellowship winner\n2016 Writers’ Trust Engel Findley Award winner\n\nEVENT DETAILS: \n📅 Date: April 16\, 2026 \n📍 Location: Olympic Village Stage at the BMO Theatre Centre\, Arts Club Theatre Company \n🎟️ Tickets & More Info: Conversations in Trust Vancouver: Canadian Authors Make Sense of Our World

SUMMARY:Shrek The Musical

This family-friendly show follows a cast of fairy tale misfits on a journey about self-acceptance and inclusivity. \nVisually spectacular\, hilariously heartwarming\, and packed with dazzling costumes\, Shrek The Music is a must-watch this spring. \nShrek The Musical\n“At its core\, Shrek The Musical is about embracing who you are\, not who the world expects you to be\,” says Chris Adams\, RCMT Artistic Director. \n“The show celebrates individuality\, challenges superficial judgment\, and reminds us that community is strongest when it is inclusive. That message feels incredibly timely. As a theatre company\, we believe in welcoming everyone\, not just on stage but in our audience and our broader community. This story reinforces that value in a joyful and heartfelt way.” \nThe play follows the titular Shrek\, an ogre who lives in a swamp that neighbours the Kingdom of Duloc. One day\, Shrek’s beloved home becomes overrun by banished fairy tale creatures and he strikes a deal with Lord Farquaad in order to regain his privacy\, which leads him to embark on an epic and perilous journey to rescue Princess Fiona while aided by the talkative Donkey. Along the way\, Shrek falls in love with the princess\, and the unlikely trio set off on an adventure. \nTickets are currently on sale for the show!

SUMMARY:Party for the Planet 2026
DESCRIPTION:Now in its 15th year\, Surrey is once again hosting B.C.’s largest Earth Day celebration with Party for the Planet 2026\, presented by TD Bank Group! Taking place on Saturday\, April 25\, the day is guaranteed to bring the community together for sustainability\, learning\, and tons of fun. \nPrepare for the ultimate free\, family-friendly Earth Day at Surrey Civic Plaza\, surrounded by your community and endless opportunities to appreciate and enjoy what it means to be part of this wonderful world we call Earth. \nParty for the Planet 2026\n \nParty for the Planet is B.C.’s largest Earth Day celebration\, and for 15 years\, Surrey has been hosting a fantastic day for everyone to embrace sustainability. From sustainable marketplaces to environmental education\, and music to dance battles\, this is an event that’s great for family and friends alike. \nWondering what to expect? Here’s a highlight of everything that’s on Party for the Planet’s schedule. \nLive Performances & Activities\n\n \nGuests can check out live music on the Earth and Meadow Stages\, as well as epic dance battles on the Community Stage. Heading over to the Family Stage\, there will also be family-friendly programming from Science World and the Urban Safari Rescue Society. With such a rich mixture of performances and shows\, you’ll always have something to discover on any number of Party for the Planet’s stages. \nOn top of that\, there will be a free rock climbing wall\, a kid’s craft zone\, and plenty of giveaways and games to keep everyone engaged. You’ll also be able to take part in the Salmon Walk\, where you can discover the journey of salmon with the Salmon Habitat Restoration program. With them\, you get to paint a wooden salmon that will be displayed in City Centre\, and collect a limited edition Fish Keychain! \n \nFor families with little ones who like quieter fun\, the Surrey Libraries City Centre Branch will be hosting quiet activities and local performances on the Meadow Stage\, including nature-themed colouring\, puzzles\, and board games and other assorted games. \nSustainable Marketplace & Plant Sale\nIt wouldn’t be a Party for the Planet without the annual Sustainable Marketplace. Featuring tons of local vendors and artisans from Surrey and the Lower Mainland\, there will be plenty of treasures to discover from makers all around the city and beyond. \n \nAnd if you’re on the search for plants\, the Native Plant Sale will be offering the chance to purchase native planets (while quantities last) for $3 to $6! These plants are great for your garden as they’re naturally resilient to pests\, require less water\, and support your local wildlife. \nBut that’s not all– Party for the Planet will also be giving away 750 complimentary tomato plants to attendees after the Welcome Ceremony with the Mayor and Council at 2:00pm! The giveaway works off a first-come\, first-serve basis with a limit of one per person\, so be sure to attend the Welcome Ceremony to get your free tomato plant! \nFood Trucks & Environmental Education\n \nIf you’re feeling hungry\, Party for the Planet has loads of food truck options to sate your appetite. Whether you’re looking for a burger\, grilled cheese\, or even donuts\, they’ve got it. Every truck is also listed with meal options\, including vegan (VE)\, vegetarian (V)\, and gluten-free (GF). Here’s a look at a few of the trucks that will be at the party: \n\nB&B Burgers (V\, GF)\nLa Sella Pizza (V\, VE\, GF)\nMom’s Grilled Cheese (V\, VE\, GF)\nReel Mac & Cheese (V)\nRolled West Coast (V)\nRotato & Potato Express (V\, VE\, GF)\n\nOnce you’ve gotten your fill\, be sure to visit one of the many environmental education activities around the party. You can hop onto a blender bike to make your own smoothie\, and even sample it after! And there will also be the Environmental Extravaganza\, where you can learn all about the free environmental programs that Surrey runs from April to June every year. There will similarly be tons of exhibitors like TD Bank Group\, BC Parks Foundation\, and Discover Surrey that will be discussing sustainable initiatives in your City. \nGetting There\n \nConveniently located adjacent to the Surrey Central SkyTrain station and the Surrey Central bus loop\, getting to Surrey Civic Plaza is no problem with public transit. Since parking is limited\, this is a great time to travel sustainably to Party for the Planet. \nGet ready to celebrate Earth Day like never before with Party for the Planet!
