The Secret in the Wings
By Mary Zimmerman
Directed by Anna Griffith
March 19–28, 2026
UFV Theatre presents The Secret in the Wings, the second production of the 2025–2026 season. This imaginative and visually rich play will be performed at two locations: the UFV Abbotsford Performance Studio and the Chilliwack Cultural Centre’s Rotary Hall Studio Theatre.
Presented by the UFV School of Creative Arts Acting and Production classes, The Secret in the Wings is a masterwork of whimsy by Mary Zimmerman. Drawing from lesser-known fairy tales, the play explores the darker, stranger, and more dangerous undercurrents of childhood through vivid storytelling, inventive staging, and a playful ensemble approach.
