Amelia is thrilled to be returning for her 7th season with STF. Originally from Calgary, AB she now calls Western Newfoundland her home! Her summers spent in Stephenville made her fall in love with this beautiful province and its people. When she is not performing or choreographing she can be found in the studio teaching theatre and dance to young people!

Some past credits include: Anne of Green Gables: The Musical, Jersey Boys (Charlottetown Festival), Honky Tonk Laundry, Urinetown, We Will Rock You, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Blue Champagne, 9 to 5 (STF), We Will Rock You Nat’l Tour (Annerin), Evil Dead: The Musical Nat’l Tour, Disenchanted Nat’l Tour (Starvox).

She would like to extend a huge thank you to Laura and the whole STF team, Cat and the whole DaCosta team, Mom, Dad, Alli, Ben, Don, Christine and Suzie for their unconditional support and love. Without whom she never would’ve been able to pursue her dreams.

We can’t wait for you to get All Shook Up with us!
