 Perhaps the only truly heroic character in the play is Iago's wife, Emilia. Staunchly defending Desdemona and bravely defying both society's view of women and her treacherous husband, she's brought brilliantly to life by Jamie Lee Shebelski. To read the full review, click here.
I had the honour of assisting two fantastic playwrights with their workshops and presentations. I read Cassandra in The Suspect by Johnna Wright (adpated from the novel by L.R. Wright) and Bayley in In Care by Kenneth T. Williams.
Both Johnna and Ken are good friends, and I was so happy to work with them this week. Check out the StarPhoenix article about the Festival this year. Coming up as part of the SaskTel Youth Tour 2016 at Persephone Theatre, I'll be directing (yes, DIRECTING!) Under Cover by Mark Haroun.
This will be my directing debut (under the mentorship of Persephone's Artistic Associate Daniel Macdonald). Very much looking forward to taking on new challenges and experiences from the Director's chair. For more information about the show, click here. I'll be the Assistant Director on the first main stage show of the season at Persephone Theatre in the fall.
Looking forward to observing, learning, and soaking it all in from a different point of view. For more information on the show, click here.  Excited to be part of two new plays being workshopped at Spring Festival this year - In Care by Kenneth T. Williams, and The Suspect by Johnna Wright.
 I am looking forward to being back on the river bank with Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan this summer. I'll be taking on the role of Margaret in Much Ado About Nothing, and the role of Emilia in Othello. Very excited to be a part of this ground-breaking season.
Read more about the shows here.  Madame Pierre (Jamie Lee Shebelski) expertly lets the nervous man, seated in a wobbly chair but too afraid to call it uncomfortable, blurt things out that are unintentionally self -incriminating. Read the entire review here.
