Lucy Pevensie

Mya Tse is an 18-year-old actor and aspiring drama teacher who often finds themself in roles that require a complete lack of brain cells—in the best way. They play Lucy Pevensie in Low-Budget Narnia: Now with 50% Less Wardrobe at this year’s Edmonton Fringe. With Stage Eaters Theatre, Mya has performed in Mary Poppins (Ensemble), Something Rotten (Nostradamus), and Bye Bye Birdie (Mrs. Mae Peterson). In high school, they directed the one-act Pressure and acted in Little Shop of Horrors (Crystal) and Oz! (Cowardly Lion). They’ve also performed improv with NAIL and the Canadian Improv Games.

Kynan Sorochan takes the stage with a significantly smaller set of costumes than the last time he was a part of a Psychopomp Comedy show. Turns out there is more than one meaning to "50% less wardrobe.” Kynan was a part of Sherlock Holmes and the Inane Investigation, a spoof that appeared at the Edmonton Fringe two years ago, where he performed as four different characters throughout the play. Despite what inflation has done to the clothing budget for his character, Kynan is excited to roll his eyes at you as Ricardo in this hilarious Narnia parody.

​In Junior High, Rena was a certifiable dork; while all the cool kids were playing sports, she was competing in speech and acting tournaments. And then she sort of…stopped. After many years of absence from the performing arts, and while assisting with her daughters’ high school theatre projects, she felt the urge to return to the stage. Participating in Fringe shows, musical theatre productions, extras work on local film sets, and competitive storytelling (she was the 2025 Edmonton Story Slam Society champion) has introduced her to many new friends and has brought her so much joy. As a recent empty-nester, Rena plans to spend as much of her next act as possible doing all of the fun things. You can also see Rena in Edmontask at the Campus Saint-Jean Auditorium this Fringe.

A fun fact about Aidan is that he has a passion for hip-hop dance, so that's something pretty awesome. Ultimately, he is ready to entertain the masses!
