I have the pleasure of introducing our Prop Designer, Madison Willoughby!
More About Maddi! Armed with her Theatre BA from Trinity Western University, Maddi is grateful to have jumped into the marvelous world of Theatre. She has spent the past few years acting and creating props to help bring to life beautiful productions like this one.

I have the pleasure of introducing our lighting designer, Sam Brooke!
More About Sam! Despite having always had an interest in technical theater, Samuel has not pursued it seriously until recently.

I have the pleasure of introducing our sound designer, Stephanie Bruce!
More About Steph! Last season, Stephanie properly moved into the position of Technical Director, and Sound Designer, while continuing as Company Stage Manager. As the workload isn’t any lighter this season, is therefore still far too busy building the sets, sourcing props, gathering various comedy noises, and wrangling the rest of the Stage Management team, multiple casts, and assorted production staff, to write a highly detailed bio, for whichever program is before you. Not even quite sure which month, or even day, it currently is. But, whenever you’re reading this, the show you’re about to see is fantastic. So sit back, relax (not that much!), and enjoy! *And remember to breathe!*

I have the pleasure of introducing our lighting designer, Nigel Brooke!
More About Nigel! Nigel began his theatrical career with a critically-acclaimed turn as ‘Tree’ and ‘Candy Cane’ in Hansel and Gretel at age five. More recently (and relevantly), he has designed lights for dozens of productions around the Lower Mainland, including Blithe Spirit, Cinderella, Screwball Comedy and more for RCTC, The Sound of Music and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time for Gallery 7 Productions, and many more. He also occasionally performs, appearing recently as ‘Adam Lucas’ in Ghost of a Chance for RCTC and as ‘Sir Rupert’ in Jeeves Intervenes for Gallery 7. In real life, Nigel is a computer programmer, and, oddly enough, does this for “fun”.

I can’t wait to give you a sneak peak at the cast and crew who are bringing this heartfelt and hilarious show to life.
