Message from the director
FRIENDS OF ST. ALBERT CHILDREN’S THEATRE Message from the
“It all comes down to Christmas” with the 2014 St. Albert Children’s Theatre’s production of A Christmas Story, The Musical. The Friends of St. Albert Children’s Theatre Society are very pleased to welcome you to this winter production.
The mission of St. Albert Children’s Theatre is to support the promotion, education and exploration of theatre arts for youth and its contribution to community leadership. The Friends are a team of volunteers who work collaboratively with the City of St. Albert to enable young artists an opportunity to experience the many extraordinary and professional opportunities that involvement in a theatre company provides through fundraising activities. These activities help offset production costs and pay for the rental of rehearsal space for our talented cast. The teamwork, enthusiasm and dedication of the directors, staff, technicians, Arden volunteers, parents and performers together create an incredible and memorable production. The society offers a sincere thank you to all these amazing individuals. We would also like to thank all of you for your continued support of this program. We invite you now to sit back and enjoy a simpler time, when everything important in life hinged on the perfect Christmas gift.

Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia presents
stella, queen of the snow
Sunday, February 15 \ 2 PM
From the page to the stage, Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia has taken the award-winning beloved children’s book, Stella Queen of the Snow by Marie-Louise Gay, and adapted it into a whimsical world of puppet theatre. The story centres around two imaginative children, Stella and Sam, who spend a glorious day playing in the snow and discovering the magic and mystery of winter. Set to fanciful music, a charming winter backdrop and striking scenic effects, Sam and Stella make snowballs, snow angels, go on sled rides, and discover the enchantment of this white stuff called snow.

TaKe a SeaT! Spotlight on C18 – C20
The best seats in the house . . . can be yours!
Since its inception, St. Albert Children’s Theatre has provided training and opportunities for young people to develop skills not only in dramatics, vocals and dance, but also in leadership skills, confidence, commitment, and team participation. Respected and encouraged, participants acquire a variety of life skills that last a lifetime. The reputation of St. Albert Children’s Theatre expands well across this country and even as far as Broadway! This year, we are thrilled to have the Tony Nominated duo of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who wrote the music for A Christmas Story, the Musical, join us to watch the show, provide master class workshops as well as perform for the community in concert on December 6th. The success of any program is the result of hard work, passion and dedication by those that run the program. Janice Flower has been with the St. Albert Children’s Theatre since 1985, and has acted as the Artistic Director since 1995. Janice, along with her team of Jaqueline Pooke and Rachel Bowron have dedicated their lives to the success of this program as well as to the youth of this community. It only seemed right to have seats dedicated to them. The seats were chosen by the Friends of St. Albert Children’s Theatre, the board that supports the program through fundraising and awareness. We chose seats C18 – C20 as this is where the team would often sit for long hours, directing, nurturing and encouraging the children as they rehearsed for the big show. The few words chosen to adorn these seats in recognition of these people could not possibly express the love and gratitude from the over 4000 children and their families that have participated in St. Albert Children’s Theatre. Janice, Jaqueline and Rachel, we hope this dedication serves as a reminder of the difference you have made in the lives of so many. What are YOU waiting for?
Put your name on your favourite seat or give a unique gift to mark a special occasion, promote your business or make a memorial tribute – the possibilities are endless.
Centre Stage: $1000 | Spotlight: $500 | Footlights: $250 Your benefit – eligible seat donations will be recognized with: An engraved armrest plaque A tax receipt
For more information or to select your seat, contact Sandra Moloney at (780) 459-1694 or smoloney@stalbert.ca. Seating map available at ardentheatre.com.
