The result is a heartwarming and humorous tale that has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide.

With music and lyrics by Benny Andersson & Bjorn Ulvaeus, Book by Catherine Johnson, Some songs with Stig Anderson, Mamma Mia was originally conceived by Judy Craymer.

The Actors Studio presentation will be Directed by Randy Leslie, with music direction by Spencer Bach and Choreography by Gracelynn Sali.  

This production of “Mamma Mia” promises to captivate theater-goers with its vibrant energy, iconic songs, and hilarious humor. Audiences will be transported to a charming Greek island, following Sophie's heartwarming and comedic quest to uncover her father’s identity.

"We are ecstatic to welcome back Anna Jacyszyn, Delphine Litke, and Nathan Flavel for this August’s staging of 'Mamma Mia'," said Randy Leslie, Director & Artistic Director of Kelowna Actors Studio. "Their performances are truly remarkable, and I am certain that audiences are in for an extraordinary experience."
