Imagine you are a princess. Your father has left the kingdom to go off and be a hero. Your mother is more concerned with getting her nails done than running the kingdom, or the family. You have THREE annoying younger siblings who are always causing trouble… and YOU find yourself in charge of everything.

This is the plight of Stefanie. On top of it all, she is being pursued by the most obnoxious evil sorcerer who has put spells on all the remaining members of the family, and now she must go face a giant dragon in order to set things right. A story that bring the adventure of The Princess Bride together with goofy characters reminiscent of Shrek and the saucy humor of Monty Python… this laugh-out-loud play reminds us that even in the craziest world we can still be our own hero.

BEAT Children’s Theatre is excited to bring the play Stefanie Hero to life on stage. Written by Mark Medoff, this adventurous, heroic and inspiring tale is sure to be magical for all ages. Stefanie Hero at BEAT is directed by Bree Beal and assistant directed by Eve Gjata. Together, they help the talented group of actors create memorable characters and bring the story to life.

Stefanie Hero is sure to be a grand adventure for all. We all face difficult situations and must find our inner hero. Don’t miss this epic adventure on stage with BEAT Children’s Theatre.

ABOUT THE MUSICAL

Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Python’s Spamalot retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, and features a bevy of beautiful showgirls, not to mention cows, killer rabbits and French people.

The 2005 Broadway production won three Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and was followed by two successful West End runs. The outrageous, uproarious and gloriously entertaining story of King Arthur and the Lady of the Lake will delight audiences as they search for the Holy Grail and “always look on the bright side of life.”

Enjoy a musical — and join us for appetizers and drinks with the purchase of a VIP ticket.

The VIP area opens at 5pm — VIP tickets include appetizers and two beverages of your choice.

A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR MICHELLE MEJASKI

“Spamalot is a laugh-out-loud, Broadway award-winning, wildly preposterous and utterly ridiculous musical from Eric Idle that was totally, however lovingly, ripped off from the motion picture Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Need we say more?”
