Director & Dramaturg
Welcome and thanks for visiting!
Just announced! I will be directing The Taming of the Shrew at The Stratford Festival in 2027.
You can currently see Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest that I directed at the Avon Theatre for the 2026 season at The Stratford Festival.
In October I will open The Grand Theatre’s 2026/27 season with Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors.
Then off to Ottawa for Margaret Laurence's The Diviners, adapted by Vern Thiessen with Yvette Nolan at The National Arts Centre English & Indigenous Theatre in January 2027.
As the current Artistic & Executive Director of Imago Theatre in Montréal, Canada, I received the Montreal English Theatre Award META for Outstanding Direction for Imago/Geordie's 2024 production of The Wolves by Sarah DeLappe. I recently directed the first new production of the award winning play CRASH by Pamela Mala Sinha.
I have also served as Apprentice Artistic Director at The Grand Theatre, Associate Artistic Director/Director of New Play Development at Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre, where I shepherded to premiere such works as The Women of the Fur Trade by Frances Koncan and Burning Mom by Mieko Ouchi, and the founding Artistic Director of zone41 theatre. I trained at TMU in acting, Shaw Festival's Neil Munro Directing Project and Stratford Festival's Langham Director's Workshop and am the recipient of the Jean Gascon Award (Stratford Festival) and the Gina Wilkinson Prize.
