Stephenville Theatre Festival - The Nobleman's Wedding
Stephenville Theatre Festival's headlining show this summer is The Nobleman's Wedding. It tells the story of lovers Thomas and Nancy. Nancy is a nobleman's daughter, while Thomas is a lowly sailor. Will the two lovers find a way to be together?
Pamela Morgan was inspired to write this play after hearing a folk song of the same name from Jack and Ellen Carroll of Stephenville in the late 1970s. While The Nobleman's Wedding has been performed before, this Stephenville Theatre Festival production marks the premiere of an extended reworked two-act version.
Come out and see this show on July 24, July 27, August 2 and August 7. For more information, check out the Festival's Facebook page or visit stephenvilletheatrefestival.com.
STF Promo 2017 - 39th Season
Running from July 14 to Aug. 13, 2017, Stephenville Theatre Festival's 39th season will include two wildly popular musicals, a heart-warming Canadian play, an interactive musical for young audiences, a legendary rock ‘n’ roll dinner theatre presentation, the popular An Evening With… series and The Gala.
Two of this season's show are featured in this promo video. They are Urinetown: The Musical and The Marvelous Wonderettes.
Urinetown: The Musical is an award winning and hilarious musical comedy! A satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, bureaucracy, corporate mismanagement, municipal politics and musical theatre itself! A side-splitting send up of greed, love, revolution (and musicals!), in a time when water is worth its weight in gold, Urinetown: The Musical is a wickedly funny, fast paces and surprisingly intelligent comedic romp.
The Marvelous Wonderettes is a smash off-Broadway hit that takes you back to the 1958 where we meet four delightful girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts. As we learn about their lives and loves, the girls serenade us with well loved hits form the ’50s and ’60s.
Other shows this season include For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again (which is a funny, nostalgic and bittersweet comedy by acclaimed Quebec playwright Michel Tremblay), Cinderella: A Rat-icall Retelling (the classic fairy tale turned into a kitchen party romp for young people and for the young at heart), Rocket Man: The Music and Life of Elton John (dinner theatre experience exploring the music of this legendary rock ‘n’ roll performer and writing partner Bernie Taupin), An Evening With… series (featuring comedian Trent McClellan in a hilarious stand-up show; actor Cindy O’Neill in Cindy’s Back … and Her Front Too; and Mike and Violet Dawson, Jennifer Dawson-Hobbs, Hayward Bennett and Donovan Conran in Legacy: Country Legends).
We will host Talk Back sessions again this summer. Each of the productions housed in the Arts and Culture Centre will host a single after-show Talk Back session with the cast and crew, to allow attendees an opportunity to ask questions about the content and the process in each presentation and provide a chance to socialize with the company.
No Stephenville Theatre Festival season would be complete without the always-popular Gala finale. Be sure to catch this special performance and enjoy the great talents of the festival’s company members.
