Andrea Bieganek (Stage Manager)

This my first year serving as a stage manager and I can't think of a better group of people than my Foothills Worship Arts family to share this crazy journey with. Past credits include Izban in Wandering Stars ('19), as well as being in the ensemble in Prince's Bride ('19), Christmas Letters ('18), The Missing Piece ('17), and Hopes and Fears (16). Its my prayer that whoever sees this production will find hope in The Shepherd and lean into Him when we can't stand on our own. "

It's been an unprecedented year for all of us, and some a difficult year. Ind I believe this show has a lot of inspiring information to share with us. Please enjoy the show and be couraged and be comforted from the perspective of the shepherds this Christmas season."

Kaitlyn Olfert Nordh (Assistant Director) - is a recent graduate from the theatre program at the University of Lethbridge. After her stint down south, she’s thrilled to be back and working on another production with Foothills Alliance. There’s something amazing about seeing the gospel theatricalized, and she hopes that you meet Jesus in a fresh way through this year’s production.

Paul Ustick (Propmaster)

After having experience in acting in a number of plays with Foothills Alliance and Heritage Park, I decided to turn my focus on more of the behind the scenes work with set design and props. "For Shepherds" is my second experience as Propmaster . I am intrigued with the vital role Props and Set Design has on the telling of the story and I am proud to be surrounded by such amazing and talented actors, directors, scriptwriters, tech wizards, costume designers and stage managers. Enjoy the show!
