The Short Cuts Ten Minute Play Festival

In April of 2016 I took part in the Short Cuts Ten Minute Play Festival as an actor, as well as sitting on the reading committee that ultimately selected the plays. I specifically performed in Final Jeopardy by Blair Woynarski and directed by Anita Smith, Love Thy Family by Jennifer Dawn Bishop and directed by Bethani Jade, and The Sculpture Gallery by Aoise Stratford and directed by Nathan Howe.

In 2017, I was the Artistic Associate for the Short Cuts Ten Minute Play Festival, so I was heavily involved in every aspect of production, including appearing onstage in one of the plays.

In 2019, I was living in Paris but came home to sit in on the first read of the festival. It was there that I got hired to once again create the program for the show and I got to be in the promotional photos as well!

In 2020, during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, I was part of the team working on the entirely digital version of the festival, which entailed making our digital program and running the online chat rooms.

In 2021 I joined the team once again as the Artistic Associate, but took on additional roles as a director of The Spurs and the Bees by Bobbi-Lee Jones and an actor in Pot Roast by Jalisa Gonie, directed by Kathleen MacLean.
