A little bit of what I've been up to lately...

A summer of cross-provincial performances in Crane Girl, Falling Iguana Theatre

Tweed & Company Theatre's A Night At The Grand Ghoul Opry, November 2024. Nominated for Best Ensemble and Best New Play or Musical by BroadwayWorld Ottawa.

I associate produced a TV show! (and got my first credit as a story editor)

Initially selected for the 2025 writing and producing mentorship in the creation of I'm Also Here for Bell Fibe TV, co-produced by the Firecracker Department and C'mon Mort Productions. Gained writing/producing mentorship under Naomi Snieckus (co-creator, co-producer, showrunner, writer) and Ashleigh Rains (co-producer), and stayed on the project as an associate producer for all episodes. I also worked as a story editor on one episode.

The Halls Island Artist Residency

Selected as a resident for playwriting in 2023. I also served as a board member & selection committee member.

First place winner of the New Play Contest for the Hamilton 2025 Fringe Festival. Toured to Hamilton, ON and Fredericton, NB in the summer 2025. Read a review here:

Recent Theatre & Film Performances
Crane Girl is being remounted in Toronto Dec 9-13th!
TD Artistic Internship at Theatre Gargantua

As a selected TD Artistic Intern for the fall of 2025, I learned A LOT! Making theatre is soooo hard and soooo rewarding. I worked with the entire Theatre Gargantua creative team on their second cycle of the original work, Dissonant Species at Factory Theatre. I learned the ins and outs of running a theatre company, producing a play, basics of sound design and beyond. NBD.

We made a little short film!

After a long day working children's birthday parties in Vaughan, two party princesses unwind with wine, bestie shenanigans, and a reckless game of pregnancy-test roulette. What could go wrong? A little film we made as part of the 2026 Comedy Igniter Challenge with the Firecracker Department and the Canadian Film Festival.

Riot King Art Market Presents: The Moors by Jen Silverman
Performing in Radiant Vermin Nov 12-22nd!

At the end of 2025, I officially joined the Dora Award-winning indie theatre Riot King Art Market as a company member! Doing theatre with your friends is the best. Along with Brendan Kinnon and Lindsey Middleton, we produced the company's largest show to date: The Moors by Jen Silverman, directed by Bryn Kennedy. It played at The Theatre Centre from April 3-19th, 2026 and received great reviews - read one here:

In September 2026, I completed the New Play Actor Training Program at the beeauuuttiiffuullll Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in Alberta. This two-week program offered a select group of actors the chance to work with 5 established playwrights on their unpublished work. What does it mean to be an actor in a play's workshop phase? How does your job change? What can you do to best serve the playwright and their process? As someone who has done a fair bit of new Canadian work, this opportunity was SO COOL!

Riot King Art Market, our award-winning indie theatre company is producing Radiant Vermin, the dark comedy by Philip Ridley! is The play is a wickedly comedic satire about a young couple who are offered a way onto the property ladder that may turn out to be too good to be true. Through a whirlwind retelling of everything they’ve done to get their dream home, Ollie and Jill show us just how far we might go to build a better life for ourselves. Starring Lisa Horner, myself, and Ziye Hu and running at the Red Sandcastle Theatre, tickets are on sale here:

Autumn at the Banff Centre (AKA artist nirvana)

That's right, we're back! After a successful run in both Hamilton and Fredricton, NB, in 2025, Crane Girl by Alexa Higgins (Best New Play Award Winner, Hamilton Fringe) is getting its Toronto debut! It's a fictionalized exploration (inspired by a real event) of what might cause a woman to freestyle climb a crane. It follows Jane, a woman who, having witnessed a tragic event, suddenly finds herself untethered. Starring Alexa Higgins, Ian Ottis Goff, and myself. Playing at the Theatre Passe Muraille Backspace, tickets are on sale here:
