Place des Arts is proud to present its Summer Theatre Troupe (STT), engaging local teens in a free, by donation, family‑friendly theatre production this July and into August.

Watts of Robert Munsch’s bestselling collection featuring beloved stories like Stephanie’s Ponytail, Mortimer, The Paper Bag Princess, Mud Puddle, and Murmel, Murmel, Murmel.

Join us for the Opening Performance on Friday, July 25, 2025, at 7:00 PM, with additional shows on:

All performances are FREE (by donation), but registration is required. Tickets become available on July 1 at 9:00 AM via Eventbrite. Please make note of the performance venue you choose—either Place des Arts or the Coquitlam Public Library venue. Tickets can be reserved here.

Fera’s recent credits encompass Salt Water Moon (Arts Club Tour), A Christmas Carol, Kindertransport, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Macbeth, and many more. A two-time Jessie Richardson Theatre Award nominee, recipient of the BIV 40 Under 40 award, and former program coordinator at Place des Arts, Fera brings unmatched expertise and passion to our Summer Theatre Troupe.
