How did you get involved in RTS?

In the early days of RTS, I attended it's play reading circles. When we eventually became a society, I became one of it's directors.

How long have you been in theatre/performing/on stage?

Creeping into 10 years, now. I grew interested in theatre during highschool, but I didn't act on that interest until my grade 12 year, and have not stopped since.

What is your favorite pre-show habit?

Goofing off with whichever of my friends is apart of a show. (Within reason, of course.)

Why should someone come out and support RTS?

RTS is a great supporter of all the arts in general, and I love putting a spotlight on voices and cultures that don't necessarily get the representation they deserve

Bonus question: Why should someone come out and see Women of the Fur Trade?

2 reasons.

1. It's such a fun play. Even during readings, I can't help but snicker at some of the dialogue.

2. Many folks in this production are working hard to put this show on the figurative and literal road, i'd love nothing more than to see people come and support that hard work.
