The Cultch presents East Van Panto: West Van Story at the York Theatre in Vancouver from November 19, 2025, to January 4, 2026.

Vancouver’s wackiest all-ages theatre tradition returns with the sweeping tale of a city divided—and one seriously unexpected romance.

When a freak atmospheric tsunami strands West Van influencer Holly and her curling crew, The Hurry Hards, deep in the wilds of East Van, she’s ready for disaster — but not the romantic kind. Enter Joes: charming, striking, and a proud member of The East Van Pets… their sworn enemies.

As Holly battles the expectations of her West Van mega-developer motherfather, Boberta Rainy, she finds herself caught between two cities, two families, and one seriously unexpected romance. Will she follow her heart — and Joes — into a new world of love, dance battles, and civic resistance? Or will Boberta’s towers and renovictions crush everything in their path?
