In what will come as no surprise to those who know me well, I’ve neglected updating my website in spite of lots of exciting news.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned that a GM does a lot of painting…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In September I’ll be celebrating the completion of my first year as the General Manager of the Guild Hall Community Theatre in Whitehorse. It’s been a fantastic season in which I’ve learned a lot, and I’m excited for a great season ahead! Auditions are coming up in July, so if you’re a Whitehorse theatre artist, make sure you’re keeping an eye on our website<\/a>, or The Guild Hall<\/a> on Facebook.<\/p>\n

Since my last update, I’ve also wrapped up performing in Gwaandak Theatre<\/a>‘s Map of the Land, Map of the Stars\u00a0<\/em>with four wonderful performances at Talking Stick Festival<\/a> in Vancouver.<\/p>\n

\"Art.Impact___Super_Portrait\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All told, I was fortunate enough to contribute to a production that carried me across the Yukon for performances in Whitehorse, Dawson, and Carcross, to Ontario for the Impact Festival<\/a>, and finally to close in Vancouver with Talking Stick. I’m so thankful to Gwaandak for having given me a chance to contribute to such an important and transformative piece.<\/p>\n

\"Help!<\/a>In May we concluded another year of our youth theatre program at the Heart of Riverdale with the World Premiere of our exciting new piece Help! <\/em>Working with the theme of ‘Fear of the Unknown’ our class of 9 students developed a completely original new play through group-writing, scenework, and character development exercises. I’ll be bringing the program back starting next year, so if you’ve got a creative young person in your life who might like to make a play with us next year, keep an eye on The Heart of Riverdale<\/a> for registration information.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Coming up, my work will be returning to the Imperial Pub in Toronto with a Staged Reading<\/a> of my newest full-length play Gift Horse <\/em><\/a>on July 28th. There’ll be a talkback with the talented cast and crew afterwards, and though I won’t be able to be in attendance, I invite those of you in Ontario to come and share your perspective on a new piece in progress!<\/p>\n
