I am proud to be the Artistic Director of the Stirling Festival Theatre since September 2017 and the momentum has built throughout this time. This theatre, and the town of Stirling, have been a second home to me for over twenty years.

In my professional career outside of the Stirling Festival Theatre, I have been lucky enough to perform on stages across Ontario – Port Hope Festival, Gayety Theatre in Collingwood and Georgian Theatre in Barrie to name a few. For twenty years, I performed regularly with the Mysteriously Yours Dinner Theatre in Toronto. I have had roles in over two dozen commercials and on TV shows such as Murdoch Mysteries, Degrassi: Next Generation, Mayday and King.

Here in Stirling, I performed in five Pantos, including the first ever Naughty Panto in 2000. I am still stopped on the streets of Stirling and reminded of my character Woody by hearing “Chop, chop, Woody!” I also appeared in numerous summer shows including Kitchen Witches, Anne of Green Gables and Mini Putt. Since 2010, I have been the Writer and Director of our annual Pantos and have written and performed in the Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre events in our upper Eugene Burrell Hall since 2003. Most recently, I directed The Rocky Horror Show and played Dr. Everett Scott.

My mantra for the Stirling Festival Theatre is “Making new friends and reconnecting with old.”

Come check us out. It’s always a heck of a ride!
