WOAH HORSEY (Tahina Awan, Jessica Gabriel and Priscilla Costa)
Shapeshifters from the 7th Dimension, they met several lifetimes ago as witches and made a soul contract to reincarnate and cast spells together. Upon finding a golden donkey turd in the 13th century the trio set out to conjure the spirit of the trickster. This astral dream manifested itself in the 21st century in the fall of 2019 through The Assembly; a 12 womxn collective of clowns in Vancouver, BC. Immediate sparks darted across the sold-out stage of the Redgate Revue during the “Life’s a Drag” Assembly show those 3 nights and the trio just knew there were more fires for them to ignite. Woe Horsey share a curiosity in both the comedy and pathos of life, courageously digging up the raw embodied human experience – tender, absurd, tragic and playful – through character shapeshifting, bouffon, puppetry manipulation, ecstatic or absurd movement and magic. Woe Horsey can’t wait for this special opportunity to conjure a new golden turd nugget for the Theatre Under the Gun 2020 Festival!
MID-YOUTH CRISIS (Zachary Dean Friesen, Jacqueline Welbers, Paul Jacob Little, Coan Roik)
Mid Youth Crisis is a new theatre company made up of four young artists whose aim is to tell fresh, new, exciting stories that make you think and most importantly make you feel. Each member approaches the work from a different background and with a different perspective. Collectively we have experience in improv, dance, music, theatre, and film. With 2 members hailing from Calgary, one from Winnipeg, and one from Mexico we all came to Vancouver at different points to pursue our love of acting. Since we’ve all been here beautiful friendships and professional partnerships have been formed, and now we’ve all come together as one for your entertainment!

Since then we have produced over 50 improv shows, 4 original formats, 2 Canadian Fringe Festival runs, The Canmore International Improv Festival, and 4 scripted play productions.
