SURPRISE VISIT FROM JIM BETTS: Canada's Writer of Musical Theatre at The Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts!

Had the pleasure of meeting and getting playwright Jim Bett's autograph and photo at Colours In the Storm: The Tom Thomson Musical the 2nd last day of the play!

CAST in 'Colours In The Storm: The Tom Thomson Musical' (Musical Theatre Play)

I am so excited to be part of this Musical Chorus singing mezzo soprano.

Colours In The Storm (by Jim Betts) is the story of Tom Thomson, one of Canada's best loved painters. Thomson's landscapes of Algonquin Park such as "The West Wind", "The Jack Pine" & "Northern River" are among the most famous paintings ever done in Canada. The show is about one man's struggle to realize his own potential: about the recognition of a talent in oneself, and of the determination and obsession with realizing that talent or potential.

Don't miss 'A Gallery of Scenes and Songs on the Life of Tom Thomson'.

  Directed and Produced by Mary Rose          Musical Direction by Brian Turnbull

Wrapped on The Erebus & The Terror (Historical Drama Theatre Play) as 'Eleanor Franklin, Captain Fitzjames, Admiral 2 & The Dead 2'

I play a challenging role in this historical play: Eleanor Franklin, Captain Fitzjames - The Erebus, Admiral 2 and the Dead Crew. It was an incredible experience to be a man in the British Navy in 1845. Thanks Michael Brown!

Sir John Franklin (1845), a British Royal Navy Officer and Arctic Explorer disappears on his last expedition to the Northwest Passage in the Canadian Arctic.  This play looks at this unlikely couple who had one of the most unique and binding relationships of the Victorian era, one cut short by inevitable tragedy.
