Welcome and thanks for visiting!

I am the current Artistic & Executive Director of Imago Theatre in Tiohtiá:ke/Montréal. 

The world premiere of Margaret Laurence's The Diviners adapted by Vern Thiessen with Yvette Nolan just closed at the Stratford Festival's Tom Patterson Theatre.

This fall I will direct Sarah DeLappe's The Wolves with Jimmy Blais for a co-production with Imago Theatre and Geordie Theatre. In December I will be back at the National Theatre School of Canada directing the graduating class in Gogol's The Government Inspector - Adapted by David Harrower.

I have served as Apprentice Artistic Director at The Grand Theatre, Associate Artistic Director/Director of New Play Development at Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre and 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. I am the recipient of the Jean Gascon Award (Stratford Festival) and the Gina Wilkinson Prize.
