The Summer was a busy one, between performing with the Frantic Follies Vaudeville Revue, teching at Canada’s Magnetic North Festival, and most recently driving the Waterfront Trolley as part of\u00a0The Tale of a Town<\/a> during their stop in Whitehorse. My play, Third Person, also enjoyed a production as part of Kingston Ontario’s first annual Storefront Fringe Festival. But now the Yukon landscape is painted a beautiful palette of yellows and greens and I await the exciting opportunities to come.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Looking ahead to the Fall, my company Orphaned Egret <\/a>will be presenting a piece as part of Ramshackle Theatre’s <\/a>fantastic Theatre in the Bush. Having attended the last two iterations, first as an audience member then as a guide, I’m so excited to contribute this Autumn as a performer\/creator. Those attending can look forward to Orphaned Egret’s unique existential voice as we contribute a brand new original site-specific short play as part of this innovative multidisciplinary trek around Yukon’s boreal forest.<\/p>\n

Currently, tickets are already selling out for the 6th edition of Varietease: A Burlesque Cabaret<\/a>, which I’m happy to announce I’ll be co-Stage-Managing. Coming up, I’ll also be serving as the Stage Manager for Gwaandak Theatre<\/a>‘s contribution to the Indigenous Performing Arts Alliance Intertribal Gathering <\/a>in Haines Junction, YT.<\/p>\n

I’m also happy to report that I’m running a Youth Theatre program at the Heart of Riverdale <\/a>community centre, together with Orphaned Egret co-founder Kevin Ray. This after-school program for kids grade 3 – 8 gives youth a chance to develop their creative voices and explore the many roles that need to come together to create our own original musical from top to bottom, over the course of a whole school year. Registration is still open and we always welcome new voices!<\/p>\n

As always, there’s lots of new work in development as well, so hold on tight for updates about a second appearance at Nakai Theatre’s Pivot Festival, a new Orphaned Egret Production in Toronto and another in Whitehorse, new initiatives and collaborations, as well as a bid to play a role in yet another renowned Yukon performing arts institution.<\/p>\n
