Meraki Theatre’s Adult Ensemble
Everything good, everything magical happens between June and August. It’s summertime at Distant-Cousins Beach, the single greatest place in the world for boy-focused Belly… or Bella… honestly, even she’s not sure anymore.
Blending together the worlds of Twilight and The Summer I Turned Pretty, this musical parody is packed with original music and characters you know and love. Will she choose the brooding, mysterious Conrad Cullen who’s been avoiding her all summer, or the warm, loyal Jacob Fisher whose facial hair is looking better than ever?
From the team behind the completely sold-out runs of Midnight (2023), Barbie: A Parody (2024), BugJuice (2025) and the 5 STAR Kids Fringe hit Rewritten (2025) comes a sparkly, sun-soaked comedy you won’t want to miss.
Never watched either of the things that are apart of this parody but oh MAN I was still laughing a ton. Great silly script, and amazing talent on the stage!
I couldn’t breathe I was laughing so hard. This was cringe in the best way possible, and landed all the jokes as a die hard rattie! 17/10!!
Such a great show!! Definitely a must see. The singing was amazing, loved the song, and the acting was HILARIOUS!!!! Absolutely loved it, 10/10
The laughter of this show begun before the performance even begun! We all were offered a plastic set of teeth and the best thing was seeing the adults I know and love have the time of their lives!!

But that was before the show. You need to brace yourself for the absolutely brilliant and hilarious spoof of Twilight x The Summer I Turned Pretty! A show that does not take itself seriously (in the best way possible), thus letting the audience feel a little giggly for the following moments when the lights turned on!!
The Summer I Turned Sparkly is a charming, perfect mashup of both Twilight and The Summer I Turned Pretty. In just one hour, the cast and their characters delivered light hearted humour and truly sparkled throughout the show (pun intended). We enjoyed this show so much!!
Meraki Theatre BRAVO! We laughed for the entire show! Amazing vocal and acting performances by the 6 person cast! The combo of The Summer I turned Pretty and Twilight is perfection! An absolute must see!!!!
Absolutely hilarious from start to finish! The cast delivers exceptional acting and vocal performances, and the original songs are so catchy I was singing them on my way out of the theatre. A fantastic show to kick-off Fringe this year!
