Maybe This Christmas Means a Little Bit More

Directed by Colleen McGoff Dean

At Naked Stage we understand that this has been a year that could be described using all kinds of expletives that we can't repeat here, and the Christmas season is not going to be saved from those same challenges...we get that. We have designed our Christmas production with that in mind.

We have assembled a very talented cast of familiar and new faces and are in prep and beginning rehearsals.

In keeping with COVID guidelines, we will be offering this as a pre-recorded online offering, however there are a few new twists.

- You won't see a Zoom production...instead this will be recorded and edited together to provide a more genuine staged reading experience. We are all learning new ways to improve upon online offerings.

Here is the link to our Christmas Gift to you from Naked Stage. We had a lot of fun pulling the pieces together and learned a lot along the way. Many thanks to everyone who was willing to jump in with both feet. Please enjoy from now until midnight Christmas Eve. Have a peaceful holiday and we look forward to all of the great things that will happen in 2021!

Meet the Cast

Colleen McGoff Dean - Director

Colleen has been active in community theatre for more years than she will admit to. She has acted, directed, produced, stage-managed, and been backstage crew. As President and Artistic Director for Naked Stage Readers Theater, she is delighted to be part of bringing this engaging performance medium to you. Though performances must be online for now, she looks forward to seeing you in when we are allowed to perform live once again.

Prior to that she performed in “The Late Christopher Bean” at Surrey Little Theatre, “Drop Dead” for the Langley Players and “Deathtrap” for Theatre in the Country. Past performances for Naked Stage include a recorded version of “The Velveteen Rabbit” and “The Savannah Sipping Society”. Stay safe everyone!

George Stone

George has been enjoying the Naked Stage experience since the group was formed. He has acted in about six of the shows and directed two. This follows about 50 years of stage acting, primarily in Alberta. His keenest interest, is in digging under the skin of complex characters and bringing them to you the audience. He most recently appeared in “Freud’s Last Session”. So, please, lay back on the couch and enjoy our Christmas offering.

Bridget Browning

Bridget has been active in theatre for over 30 years. Among her many roles behind the scenes, her favourite has been as stage manager. Bridget’s ability to create organization out of chaos is her greatest asset. Recently, Bridget has stage managed The Graduate, Ninotchka, A Comedy of Tenors, Laughter on the 23rd Floor, How the Other Half Loves and produced/stage managed The Humans. A native of Vancouver, Bridget now lives in Surrey, BC.

Kailea deLeon

After having been mostly inactive since covid hit during the production of Sylvia, which forced it to close partway through its run, Kailea is delighted to be involved once again in the performing arts where she isn’t doing Christmas crosses in the background. Favourite recent credits include “Sylvia” in Sylvia (Opening Nite Theatre), “Aurelie” in According to Aurelie (Capricorn Theatre) and “Candy Apples” in Drop Dead (Langley Players).

Glen Browning

Glen has always had an interest in photography, especially bird photography. At the age of 16 he got his first recording device, an old Bell and Howell Super 8 movie camera, and has been hooked on taking pictures ever since. Glen writes articles for trade magazines and offers photography workshops. He is currently working on a bird reference book for painters, carvers and artists. Glen lives in sunny South Surrey.

Gordon Law

A student of the Vancouver Academy of Dramatic Arts, Gordon is excited to follow his recent role in A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM in the pre-COVID summer, with something upbeat and positive. He has been showcasing various accents onstage over the years ranging from Scots, Received Pronunciation, West Country, etc. and is pleased to be speaking Canadian finally. Gordon stage read in THE FATHER and re-igniting his love for entertaining in this Christmastime offering.

Jennifer Georgiadis

Jennifer is a fine artist and digital artist who has been honing her skills for over twenty-five years. She works in a variety of drawing and painting mediums, including acrylic, watercolour, graphite and mixed media, and has worked extensively with many digital art platforms. Jennifer has a passion for learning new techniques and skills, and loves experimenting with virtually any art material. Jennifer lives and works in Surrey, BC.

Tony Loyer

Tony has been involved with theatre in and around the Fraser Valley since discovering the wonderful world of community theatre 14 years ago. Primarily working with Opening Nite Theatre and Langley Players, this is Tony’s first time working with Naked Stage. Tony loves theatre and has had a rough time coping with the inability to put on shows in front of an audience. Being a part of this production has been a welcome change of pace.

Joyce Gillespie

Joyce is very pleased to be performing for the first time with Naked Stage. Select credits include Lady Barrington in Drop Dead, (CTC nomination for Best Supporting actress), Aunt March in Little Women, the Musical, Two from Galilee (ensemble), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (ensemble), Ruby in Self Help, Phyllis in Drinking Alone. I’m looking forward to working with some familiar faces in this presentation and I hope you enjoy it.

UPDATE REGARDING COVID-19

At Naked Stage, we are fully committed to the health and safety of our performers and our guests.

In order to comply with government and Provincial Health Authority requirements regarding social distancing, we have postponed our scheduled production, Murder By Default.

This was a heartbreaking decision for all of us, as we'd already put a lot of effort into the show, but it's the right thing to do for our community and for everyone's sake to help slow the spread of Covid-19.

We're currently assessing and monitoring the situation to plan our next season, whether we bring it to you online, in the theatre or a combination of both. Thank you for your support and understanding.

Please stay tuned to this site or sign up for our newsletter for updates.

"I've missed only one or two of the performances so far, and I really enjoyed all of them. The chain-rattler in the play about Scrooge was excellent and the Southern Belles in the Sipping Society - I just loved them all!"
