Past productions

West Vancouver Little Theatre Guild came into existence in September 1946. Around 1985, its name changed to West Van Little Theatre. More recently, it changed again to Theatre West Van. Take a look through the years, you might find the odd celebrity name or perhaps a lost relative....
