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 />

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