Hello and welcome to my site.
I make theatre. Whether writing, acting, or translating, I am always working with others to tell stories. Stories of women, Canadian stories, stories about the rural/urban divide… I have a particular passion for sharing the plays Québécois and Franco-Canadian playwrights, whose work is often intelligent, theatrical, accessible, and astonishing. On this site, as well as finding out about specific projects, you can contact me; find my bio and some articles I've written; buy some books; and see my recent news. My plays and translations are published by Talonbooks, Playwrights Canada Press, and Scirocco Drama, and some of my libretti are available through COR (the Canadian Opera Resource).
