Mainstreet Angela Walker and Mamma Mia

Kerry Gage: As she told Mainstreet Angela Walker, landing that job has been a dream come true, according to CBC. The show features the hugely-popular music from 70s group ABBA. "I'm so grateful," said Gage on the line from her home in Toronto. "When I was asked to do Mamma Mia!, I jumped up and down and had a bit of disbelief, and shock. The company has been stealing the show with some slick dance moves under the mirror ball, and that great news for choreographer Kerry Gage. And I thought, 'Yes! My bucket list! Yes!'" Confederation Centre veteran It wasn't just the show that was attractive to Gage, it the stage too. "I've had a love affair actually with the Confederation Centre for the Arts," she explained. "I've been so lucky to visit the Island and be on the main stage since 1998 actually, when I started performing in Anne of Green Gables." Her career has grown with each experience at P.E.I. renowned theatre. That the type of work I like to create. She moved from being an assistant and associate choreographer to the director and choreographer of the Young Company, but this is her first job as the head choreographer for a main stage Canadian theatre company.
