"The Secret in the Wings"

ABBOTSFORD, B.C. UFV Theatre presents The Secret in the Wings by Mary Zimmerman

Directed by Anna Griffith, The Secret in the Wings will run from March 19 until March 28, 2026. This will be the second production of UFV Theatre’s 2025-2026 season, and its run will be split between UFV Abbotsford’s Performance Studio, and at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre’s Rotary Hall Studio Theatre.

Presented by the UFV School of Creative Art’s Acting and Production Classes, The Secret in the Wings is a masterwork in whimsy by Mary Zimmerman. A vivid story woven from several lesser-known fairy tales, reflecting upon the darker and more dangerous undercurrents of childhood.
