Welcome and thanks for visiting!

 

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

Recently, I directed the world premiere of Margaret Laurence's The Diviners adapted by Vern Thiessen with Yvette Nolan at the Stratford Festival's Tom Patterson Theatre​, Sarah DeLappe's The Wolves with Jimmy Blais in a co-production with Imago Theatre and Geordie Theatre and Gogol's The Government Inspector adapted by David Harrower for the National Theatre School of Canada's graduating class.

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 and am the recipient of the Jean Gascon Award (Stratford Festival) and the Gina Wilkinson Prize.
