Peter Boychuk is the playwright of
JESUS FREAK, which is receiving its premiere production on the Pacific Theatre stage from March 1 to 23. JESUS FREAK is the first of Peter's plays to be produced here, but he's been a key player in other brand new plays on the PT stage.
Peter’s plays include FRITTERS IN KANDAHAR (Lunchbox Theatre), SHELTER FROM THE STORM(Touchstone Theatre), L'ÉLECTION (Théâtre la Seizième), AFTERGLOW (published in Two Hands Clapping), and FORTUNATE SON (Vancouver & Victoria Fringe Festivals). He is developing a science fiction musical with Steven Greenfield and works frequently as a dramaturge, most recently on Shauna Johannesen’s COMMON GRACE here at Pacific Theatre and Julie McIsaac’s THE OUT VIGIL (Firehall Arts Centre/Twenty Something Theatre). He is an Adjunct Professor with UBC’s Creative Writing department and is Narrative Designer at Archiact, a video game company. Peter holds an M.F.A. in Playwriting from UVic.
About JESUS FREAK, Peter says, "There's a lot of me in there. The play takes up subjects that have fascinated me for a long time. I think ultimately the play is hopeful- Clara and her family believe different things, but that doesn't mean they can't be close. I think that's a timely message."
