Founder & President / CEO
Dear children, the moment you meet me, don’t let yourselves be fooled by my grown-up appearance. It’s a trick I’m using to convince other grown-ups that I’m a very boring person myself. The truth is, I am exactly the same age as you. I was born a long time ago, I admit, and I have two kids of my own; but I promise you, my children are a little older than me. In order to convince you of this strange fact, I will ask you to answer these questions:
What respectful grown-up would ever run around like mad playing tag? (I do!)
What respectful grown-up would hide around the house and then suddenly jump out at the person who’s passing by? (I do!)
What respectful grown-up would like to sing at the top of their lungs, even when they don’t know the lyrics of the song? (I do!)
What respectful grown-up would make silly faces to one particular person in the crowd when nobody else is watching? (I do!)
Some other things I did in my life and continue to like doing are:
I like to talk about how I feel. I love that! When I’m angry, or happy, or sad, or grateful, or confused.
I like to hug the people in my family and hold them tight, forever and ever and ever. (Beware: if you’re terribly sweet, I might hug you too)
I like to hug my dog all the time.
I like to be a good friend, even when my friends are sad. I like to listen to them even if I don’t understand a thing they’re saying, and then I like to tell them kind words, or hug them, or help them find a solution to the situation that upset them.
I like to paint. I learn from grown-ups, but I don’t like to copy other paintings.
I like to play instruments, even if I haven’t played them before.
I like to listen to music and dance. I really, really like to dance.
I like to write stories. It’s something I’m still learning from my daughter.
I like to play with clay even though nobody can tell what I’m doing.
I like to read. One of my favourite writers is Roald Dahl.
I like to make up games. All. The. Time. And then I like to play them with my son.
I like to learn about stuff I don’t know.
So, in case you like some of the things I do, come join me at ChatterBox Theatre Society! I promise you that—at ChatterBox Theatre—everybody is a pretend grown-up. Just like me.

Hiee, my name is Stephanie, but my friends and family have called me Sunshine for as long as I can remember. Maybe it's because I made everyone smile and loved to dance. And I still dance. Dancing and performing has always been a big part of my life growing up. I found that performance, whether on the theater or on the dance floor brought a ray of sunshine to any room.
When not dancing, I enjoy spending time with my sister, two brothers, and mom. Growing up, we all attended Judo competitions, and as a one time silver medalist, I always won in any playful sibling rivalry during Judo practice.
While participating in sports and arts, I have also met some of my greatest friends. At ChatterBox, you have a shot to make great friends, make memories, and most importantly, be a ray of Sunshine. ChatterBox gives you a stage to show off your amazing talents in acting and arts. We are here to hold your hand and nourish your ideas at ChatterBox Theatre Society. Come on and let’s sprinkle a ray of sunshine together!
