“I have been working as an actor with a number of companies across New Brunswick doing both plays and musicals. Recent credits include: Rock of Ages (Rogue Productions), Miss Bennett: Christmas at Pemberley and The Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberley (Theatre New Brunswick), The Sound of Music (Capitol Theatre), Salt-Water Moon (Non-Stop Theatrics), and Romeo and Juliet and Much Ado About Nothing (Bard and the Barracks). In the Spring of 2024, I also co-founded Non-Stop Theatrics, a theatre company based out of Fredericton that is dedicated to providing training, mentorship, and paid performance opportunities for theatre artists of all backgrounds.

The training I received at Brock, especially the emphasis on gaining experience in areas across theatre beyond just performing, has been integral in my career and I’m so grateful for my time in the DART program!”

“I have been teaching theatre full time at a high school since 2013. Brock prepared me to put my theory into practice and I am now able to challenge my students the same way I was once challenged. My teachers at Brock pushed me to become the best version of my artistic self and now I ask the same from my students. I love watching my students come alive through their character work, and being on the other side of the coin gives me perspective for how my mentors felt. My teachers at Brock really gave me a confidence and appreciation for the Arts, something for which I am eternally grateful.”

“When the pandemic hit and theatre work was almost non existent right after I graduated with a theatre degree, I transitioned to more film acting work! I am proud to have recently joined ACTRA and was in a film that premiered at TIFF this year (“Aberdeen”), and have a role in another that will be getting a full theatrical release within the next few years (“The Zealot”). I’ve also returned to my theatre roots via the fringe circuit – my boyfriend and I created our own show together called “Goose!” — think campy 70s horror movie, but the monster is the Canada goose — which sold out at the Edmonton Fringe Festival. My experience with DART 4F56 especially helped prepare me for all that comes with creating a show for Fringe, from gathering props, to acting, to choreographing, and more. I am so grateful for the wonderful instruction I had at Brock University, with a special recognition and appreciation for Mike Griffin and Karen Fricker.”

“I graduated from Brock University in 2015 with a combined BA in Dramatic Arts and Philosophy. While at Brock University, I had the chance to take their Makeup and Scenic Painting courses which helped me develop a love of design. Since Graduation, I’ve moved to Toronto, re-enrolled at Complections International College, one of the top 5 Makeup Schools in North America, and have graduated from there as well. I’ve had the chance to be a makeup artist on major productions like the movie Suicide Squad, the Netflix series Suits, as well as commercials for major companies like Huggies Diapers, Tourism Hamilton and Medallia Customer Experience.

Brock was a great foundation of my studies because of the amazing production, design and stagecraft courses that the department uniquely offers. I couldn’t have picked a better university to attend.”

“I graduated from the Scriptwriting and Story Design MFA at Toronto Metropolitan University this fall. This is a two-year program where I learned writing for film and television and completed a portfolio with a short film script, two TV pilots, and (for my Master’s thesis project,) a feature film script. I am pictured here at the Creative School graduation reception with my parents and boyfriend.”
