Stephen Amon

Footman

Stephen is thrilled to be back at Theatre By the Bay this summer and is excited to be working with friends both new and familiar. A fantastic program at Holly Meadows Elementary School introduced Stephen to musical theatre at the age of 8 and he has been hooked ever since. As well as being involved in everything his schools have done, Stephen has trained and performed with Strolling Youth players/Joy of Performing Arts Academy, has worked with Scott A. Hurst in South Simcoe Theatres Anne of Green Gables and has performed in Kempenfelt players Tales of Andergim, Music Man and many more productions. Most recently Stephen was seen as the butler Rogers in And Then There Where None. Stephen put on an air of sophistication quite contrary to his role as Windy WooWoo last summer in Theatre By the Bay's Sleeping Beauty's Summer Adventures.

Great to be back at TBTB!! Stephen would also like to thank Susan Cowan, Scott A. Hurst, Joy Bainborough, Larissa Mair, Carla Tucker and the many other amazing directors and teachers he has worked with, especially Gigi.
