Jeanette Hoeppner
founding member

Rosebud Theatre - FRSA

It all goes back to a young 7 year old Goldlilocks afraid to sit in the chair she knew would have to fall apart. Once she got over her fear of stage falls, Jeanette moved on to act and direct at Garden Valley Collegiate, tour North America with Covenant Players, and eventually land at Rosebud School of the Arts, Alberta. Three years later as a fresh new face in the graduate scene, she took on work with Badlands Passion Play, Mennonite Collegiate Institute, Candlewick Productions and Solejourn Productions. Theatre highlights include: Opal, The Curious Savage, Footprints of a Pilgrim, Les Miserables, Anne & Gilbert, Little Women and Dancing Backwards.  Film highlights include On a Sunday and Retired with 40 Below Films. You never know where you might find Jeanette at work or what she might be doing!  She is based in Winkler and happy to be working with flatland's as artistic director and class instructor.

Maggie Fehr
Joined 2023

​​​Maggie joined FTC in the 18th season for the production of Back to the 80's. She's been a fan of theatre her whole life but her childhood shyness prevented her from trying it out earlier. She recently took the plunge and is loving every minute! She joined the FTC board as the volunteer co-ordinator. You may see her at shows bossing around volunteers!

Shelby values the opportunities and enrichment FTC offers to the area, she believes the Arts are an essential element of community and growth.
