Coquitlam's Cameron Mackenzie is the director of a female-led comedy that opens next month in Vancouver.
The South African native is leading the world premiere of Unexpecting, a show that delves into marriage, friendship and modern motherhood.
Mackenzie is the artistic director and executive director of Zee Zee Theatre, which will stage Bronwyn Carradine's play from May 5 to 21 at Studio 16 (1551 West 7th Ave.).
"While Unexpecting is a joyful and insightful celebration of queer love and the intricacies of relationships, this play is truly for anyone who has struggled with their decision to become parents," Mackenzie said in a news release.
"Written by one of Vancouver's most compelling new playwrights, and full of quick-witted humour and enormous heart, Unexpecting offers Vancouver audiences a fresh perspective on love, loss, commitment and the unpredictable journey towards modern motherhood."
Starring Elizabeth Barrett, Jessica Heafey, Melissa Oei and Rahat Saini, the show is set in East Vancouver and centres on a married couple named Annie and Josephine, who are trying to conceive.
Mackenzie, a Studio 58 graduate and Jessie Award nominee for outstanding direction, may be best known for producing and curating Club PuSh for the PuSh Festival from 2013 to 2020.
Zee Zee Theatre is celebrating its 15th season.
