HAPPY NEW YEAR! Where the heck have you been!?
With a busy 2016 at our backs, it is with great excitement that all of us at Much Ado About Me offer all you loyal readers best wishes for a fun and busy 2017! We’ve had many write-in comments anxiously waiting for an update this year, so here’s a review of the performance projects Stefano Giulianetti got up to in 2016.
Spring 2016 Redpatch - New Play Premiere
Putting his French language to work this past spring, Giulianetti appreared as ‘Frenchie’ in the final workshop production of Redpatch by Hardline Productions at Presentation House Theatre. Written by Raes Calvert and Sean Harris Oliver, the play is a historical drama that follows the experiences of a young Métis solider (played by Calvert) from the Nuu-chah-nulth nation of Vancouver Island who volunteers to fight for Canada in the First World War and eventully fights at the battle of Vimy Ridge.For more information on the upcoming premiere: hardlineproductions.ca
(Note: Giulianetti will not be performing in the 2017 production - sorry fans!)
Surfing Waves & Surfing Channels
In between projects, Giulianetti did a whole lot of surfing in Tofino this year as well as trying out some new remote surf spots like Haida Gwaii and Sombrio Beach. But while the athletic actor was catching cold water waves, fans who prefer surfing channels in the warm indoors may have caught a glimpse of Giulianetti on the popular ABC series ‘Once Upon a Time.’ He pops up as the Jester prompting the Evil Queen to ‘Make a Wish” for her birthday in the episode ‘Souls of the Departed.’ Maybe she wished she was surfing!
Summer 2016 CATCHING THE BIG ONE!
Fishing can be a pretty passive passtime, but for the dextrous actor Stefano Giulianetti this summer was literally a handful! Returning to the Chemainus Theatre Festival for his 5th contract, Giulianetti helped animate a world of wonder for family audiences as he puppeteered a serious selection of seafood in the play “Pet the Fish” alongside John Han, Lindsay Curl and Director Samantha Currie. The play reminded audiences and actors alike the value of dreams and to never give up. Certainly a valuable lesson to catch!
Fall 2016 MC STEF
No, he’s not spinning records, but with so many great concerts, events and parties from september through to New Year’s Eve, you’re likely to have seen Stefano MC one of many events around town including the City of Burnaby live screening of The Tragically Hip’s concert!

Stay tuned for a very sweet (and sticky) show announcement in the new year!
