The world’s most famous fairy tale is brought to vivid neon life in this 80’s-inspired musical adaptation by an award-winning team of artists. You can expect everything you already love about the classic story... in a pair of leg warmers.

Studio Theatre - ‘The Secret in the Wings’
Book by Mary Zimmerman
Music by Stephanie Urquhart
Mary Zimmerman’s The Secret in the Wings is a playful and imaginative celebration of the power of stories. Scenes, songs, striking visuals, and dance collide to tell a series of lesser known fairy tales from a range of countries. All but one of the stories are split in half as the play fans in and then out again in a whirlwind of theatrical creativity.
This production is the final thesis presentation for Elizabeth Hobbs (MFA Directing), Camille Paris (MFA Theatre Design), and Charlie Peters (MFA Theatre Practice).
Performed April 28-30, 2021

Alberta Musical Theatre Company - ‘Sleeping Beauty’
Book and Lyrics by Farren Timoteo
Music by Jeff Unger & Stephanie Urquhart
Amidst overgrown vines and crumbling walls of stone, an age-old story quietly echoes in the abandoned halls of a long-forgotten castle. The story of a kingdom in peril, and a princess cursed to an eternal sleep by a dark fairy. A story of magic, fate, and choice longing to awaken, and to be shared once more. This is the story of Sleeping Beauty.
Performed October 2019-March 2020
Skinny Love Productions - ‘Pretty Boy: The Musical’
Book and Lyrics by Mark Vetsch
Music by Stephanie Urquhart
Pretty Boy brings the life of Charles Floyd, American Folk Hero, to the stage. A Robin-Hooding hero so charming it’s hard not to like him, even if he’s got you at gunpoint. From bank heists that make him rich, to the women who love him, find out how a man with a heart the size of Oklahoma became America’s Public Enemy No. 1.
Performed at Next Fest 2018
