“A hilarious ride through a western town, complete with gun fights, bar fights, plane crashes and, of course, mad bombers, all as seen through the fresh eyes of a newbie reporter for the Williams Lake Tribune.”—Randy Shore, Vancouver Sun

“A witty, fast-paced tale of small-town journalism, First Nations poverty, Valdy and, yes, stampede queens. Several stampede queens actually. Stampede Queen is funny. Really funny,” Jason Hewlett Kamloops Daily News

Zachary Stevenson (the Art’s Club’s Buddy Holly) stars in an all-new stage adaptation of Mark Leiren-Young’s Never Shoot a Stampede Queen, winner of the Leacock Medal for Humour.

TJ Dawe - director of the off-Broadway Hit “One Man Star Wars” - presents the adaptation by author.

The night Mark Leiren-Young drove into Williams Lake, British Columbia, to work as a reporter for the venerable Williams Lake Tribune, he arrived on the scene of an armed robbery. And that was before things got weird. For a 22-year-old from Vancouver, a stint in the legendary Cariboo town was a trip to another world and another era.

Never Shoot a Stampede Queen follows the adventures of a big city (Vancouver) boy who arrives in the crime capital of BC (Williams Lake) and discovers stranger news, quirkier characters, and better friends than he ever could have imagined. He also learns about the dangers of photographing aspiring rodeo royalty.

Named one of the top ten talents to watch in the Vancouver Sun, Zachary Stevenson is an accomplished actor, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. With a BFA in theatre, Zach has been featured in major theatres and concert venues across North America from the Queen Charlotte Islands to New York City. Zach is best known for BUDDY: The Buddy Holly Story, and leading roles in Hair, Hank Williams: The Show He Never Gave, FIRE, Urinetown, Assassins, and The Ballad of Phil Ochs.
