Touchstone Theatre is opening its new season with something you don’t see on a Vancouver stage every day: a queer zombie dark comedy.
What We Know So Far
The show mashes together horror and comedy with a queer love story at its centre — proof that “love bites” can be taken pretty literally. It’s the kind of genre-bending premise that’s become a signature move for companies willing to take a swing on something that doesn’t fit neatly into a single box, and it’s a strong opening statement for a new season.
Why Touchstone Theatre Matters to Vancouver’s Arts Scene
Touchstone is one of Vancouver’s longest-running independent theatre companies, with a track record of staging original Canadian work rather than just touring in whatever’s already had a run elsewhere. Opening a season with a queer horror-comedy instead of something safer says a lot about where the company sees its role right now: taking risks, centring queer stories, and trusting a Vancouver audience to come along for something genuinely different.
How to Catch It
