Haven't updated in a while. That might have something to do with the all-consuming terror and exhilaration of rehearsing and performing for the first time in my second language... in a dialect I've never spoken before. During this time:

• In Ottawa, Ontario, GCTC – now led by my treasured collaborator, Eric Coates – announced that they will premier my translation of Rébecca Déraspe's You Are Happy next fall, with acclaimed Adrienne Wong directing.
• Also in Ottawa, the Kanata Theatre – my brother's favourite – produced Schoolhouse.
• Having already clocked 550+ performances, Théâtre Motus took Baobab to New York's Lincoln Centre. This month, they're at MTYP (Manitoba Theatre for Young People) in my birthplace, Winnipeg.
• OperaUpClose continued to tour Ulla's Odyssey around the UK, including the artsdepot.
• I joined the newly-formed steering committee for the Women's Caucus of the Playwrights' Guild of Canada.
• The groundbreaking queer civil rights history When We Rise aired on ABC. I had a minuscule but intense scene with beloved TV star Michael K. Williams. "Omar coming."
• I workshopped Veronique West's intriguing and passionate play, State of War, ahead of its upcoming April 9 reading at the Arts Club (They were hoping to find a Polish-speaking actress, but for now, they're stuck with me giving it my best shot. Just when I think I've heard all the world's consonants before... along comes Polish.)
• And, yes, I had the great fortune of appearing in Gilles Poulin-Denis' stunning, sold-out production of Michel Tremblay's masterpiece, Bonjour, là, bonjour, for Vancouver's Théâtre la Seizième. It took every ounce of my mental and physical abilities just to sort of keep up with the cast of 7 extraordinary francophones in this barnburner of a play... but it was worth it. I'll be posting in more details about that extraordinary experience next week.

That's all for my recent news. For upcoming work, please check here.
