Emerald Pig Theatrical Society

The 2026 Theatre BC Fraser Valley Zone Festival was a fabulous week of theatre, and camaraderie. Sincere thanks to the White Rock Players Club for hosting - it's a big job and you guys did a fantastic job, thanks to all your volunteers for their hard work. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly ❤️
Our adjudicator, Tamara McCarthy, was a refreshing experience - she was very detail oriented and took the time to provide some education at every critique, something that was valued and appreciated by all participants.
Congratulations to Langley Little Theatre for the Best Production Award, and to all the clubs and the recognition they received for their hard work and care.
We are all winners, because we love what we do!

Emerald Pig was recognized for a few things 💚
- Epic Dance Routine, lol (Sarah Hosta, Angela Bell and Sarah Helten/choreographer)
- Honourable Mention for Outstanding Ensemble: Angela Bell, Dave Tanchak, Daniel Stewart, Sarah Hosta
- Outstanding Emerging Director, Hazel Eason
- and our amazing 14 year old Stage Manager, Jack Mungal, who ran our lights and sound so expertly, having had no previous experience, was presented with the Spark Award - given to a youth or novice in Tech.
CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE!

Now we say goodbye to Suburban Standoff, as our journey with this production has come to an end. Once again, thanks sincerely to the crew and the actors - to all the volunteers who helped move things or came out for Front of House - to the playwright, Michael Grant, for this wonderfully fun story - to everyone who helped to make this show a much loved success, including all those who came out to see it and supported the Emerald Pig Theatrical Society. You all mean the world to us!
..until next time 💚🐷🎭
