STUMP CITY STORIES

An Original Musical Based on the History of New Westminster

Book, lyrics, and music by George Ryan

Starring Sean Allan, Dora Brooks, Damon Calderwood, Jeremy Lowe

Stump City Stories was originally performed to standing ovations in workshop performances at Douglas College, New Westminster, on Oct 17 and 18, 2009.

STUMP CITY STORIES FOR YOUTH was performed on September 23, 2010 at New Westminster Secondary School for approximately 1,500 New Westminster students. We gratefully acknowledge significant support from the City of New Westminster, BMO The Bank of Montreal, the New Westminster Kiwanis, Massey Helps, and the New Westminster Secondary School Parent Action Committee towards making this performance free to the youth of New Westminster.

City Stage New West is a new, visionary, non-profit society aiming to produce professional theatre in New Westminster that entertains, educates, and enlightens our audiences while strengthening respect for Canadian diversity.

New Westminster, the oldest established urban centre on the West Coast, has lacked a professional theatre company. We seek to fill that niche by bringing a wide range of dramatic works, including those by Canadian and world playwrights, to both local and regional audiences.

Join City Stage New West in making history as we work toward our goal of becoming the Royal City's first fully professional theatre company.
