The Show<br />

SYNOPSIS:<br />

“CHICAGO” is one of the most noted and longest running<br />

musicals on Broadway. Loosely based on a murder case in the<br />

1920s that grabbed the attention of the media, it is a satirical<br />

look at the way society turns criminals into celebrities. Those<br />

criminals are Velma Kelly and Roxie Hart who stand accused<br />

of murdering their respective lovers. They are immediately<br />

vaulted into the spotlight by the media aided by their<br />

somewhat less than ethical lawyer and PR machine, Billy<br />

Flynn. When they are eventually acquitted of the crimes the<br />

press ends their love affair with the girls leaving them alone<br />

and penniless.<br />

Stage West debut! Favourite credits include the world premier of Disney’s Toy Story: The Musical, Cabaret<br />

grad, seen there in Sweeney Todd, (Ensemble/Lucy Barker/Dance Captain) Oklahoma!, (Dorothy/Asst<br />

family, and my darling William.<br />

This musical revue delves into the evolution of women in country<br />

music and their struggles in a male dominated industry.<br />

Patsy Cline was the first of her kind to earn genuine respect as a<br />

country artist. She paved the way for the Queens of Country, Dolly<br />

Parton, Loretta Lynn and Reba McEntire, all of whom had their share<br />

of adversity and controversy, but ultimately led to enormously<br />

successful careers.<br />

While these artists would take inspiration from other genres such<br />

as gospel, blues, R&B and pop to diversify their country sound it<br />

would be the next generation who would explode country onto the<br />

mainstream pop charts. Shania Twain, The Dixie Chicks, Carrie<br />

Underwood and Taylor Swift are among those who continue to<br />

take country music and the empowerment of women in the music<br />

industry to new levels.<br />

What happens when a group of kids try to put on a show called<br />

“The Ugly Duckling”? Toni has never been popular, always on<br />

the outside looking in, a little strange and often marching to the<br />

beat of her own drummer. When she auditions for a part in the<br />

school play she is caught completely off guard when she lands<br />

the lead role. But that is just the beginning of her struggles.<br />

As the students rehearse and perform their play they learn<br />

lessons about acceptance, the true meaning of friendship, the<br />

importance of believing in yourself and the strength in finding<br />

a place to belong.

TERRY GUNVORDAHL • Set Designer<br />

Terry has designed more than two hundred shows for theatres across Canada and in the United States. His designs have appeared in<br />

film, television, in museums and the occasional Stampede parade. This has been an exciting season with designs for Alberta Theatre<br />

Projects, (“The Penelopiad”); Vertigo Theatre, (“Twelve Angry Men” and “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”), Lunchbox (“Wanda’s Visit”) and Mount<br />

Royal University (“A Midsummer Night’s Dream”) and Sage Theatre (“The Blue Room” and “The Girl in a Goldfish Bowl”) and of course<br />

Stage West to design the lighting for “All Shook Up”. After a busy season last year Terry took time this summer to go white water<br />

canoeing, hiking, do some sculpting, and writing. He has just finished performing in “Courage”, a one man show about J. M. Barrie and<br />

looks forward to the next challenge.<br />
