Artistic Producer's Note

I am assuming the helm of Screaming Weenie Productions at an exciting time in our history, a time where the company is experiencing substantial growth both administratively and artistically.

Over the next twelve months you will see more activity from us than ever before: mainstage shows, presentations, book launches and community-building events. But the core of what we do remains steadfast: presenting Queer- and sex-positive-themed work that entertains, inspires, enlightens and liberates.

Screaming Weenie has been a unique force on the Vancouver cultural scene since 2000, and you are about to see even more of us. So put your inhibitions aside and hop aboard the Weenie--it'll be a ride you'll never forget!
