Celine Stubel

Celine graduated from the department in 2002, and has spent the ensuing years acting in a dizzyingly diverse range of companies, productions and shows.

Along the way to her BFA, Celine’s time at UVic included roles in Romeo and Juliet, The Seagull, Turandot and Peer Gynt. She also returned to the Phoenix as “Penny Lamb” in 2008, when Atomic Vaudeville’s Legoland was presented as the annual Spotlight on Alumni production. Legoland has toured across Canada several times since it was created, most recently in April of 2013 at Theatre Passe Muraille, when it was just nominated for a DORA for Outstanding Touring Production.

Celine has become a highly visible presence in Canadian theatre, with such credits as Fire, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf and A Streetcar Named Desire (each for UVic professor Brian Richmond’s company Blue Bridge Repertory Theatre); The Graduate and The Constant Wife (Vancouver’s Arts Club); Studies in Motion (Electric Company Theatre); Ride the Cyclone, The Qualities of Zero and Circus Fire (with Atomic Vaudeville); Richard II and All’s Well That Ends Well (Bard on the Beach); My Three Sisters, Lieutenant Nun and Unity (1918) (with Theatre SKAM, a UVic alumni-founded company), Garage Sale, And Slowly Beauty…, God of Carnage and A Christmas Carol (Belfry Theatre); Little Women and Twelfth Night (Kaleidoscope Theatre); and many more.

Monday Magazine called her role in God of Carnage a performance “that [approaches] the virtuosic,” and said she created the character of Honey in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf “perfectly… [providing] a welcome dose of comic relief”.

Celine followed in the footsteps of her older sisters Camille (BFA'94) and Treena (BFA '95) who also attended UVic's Department of Theatre and who are also professional performers and a choreographer.
