Presentation House Theatre’s holiday shows have become a North Shore tradition, and this year it’s The Sword in the Stone, adapted by David Johnston from T. H. White’s book. It’s billed as fast, funny and irreverent: duelling wizards, magic around every corner, and a young Arthur finding out what it really takes to lead.
The Sword in the Stone plays December 11, 2026 to January 3, 2027 at Presentation House Theatre in North Vancouver.

The Show
Follow the future King Arthur on a wild adventure where eccentric wizards duel and magic is never far away. It’s a fresh, homegrown take on the classic, made on the North Shore for families, and it runs through the school break.
Tips
- Book school-break dates early. Shows between Christmas and New Year’s fill up first.
- Ask the box office about accessibility needs before you go.
- Pair it with the waterfront. The Shipyards Christmas Market is a short walk downhill, open until December 24.
