Raised in: Ottawa, ON | Based in: Toronto, ON For the NAC: Note to audience members everywhere: if someone starts to snore next to you, please, please wake them up, so that we don’t have to! I was more upset with the two people sitting next to him. So I had to leave the stage, walk all the way over to his seat, wake him up, and then get back on stage, and start the scene all over again. ![]() But there was one time when an audience member fell asleep and started to snore loudly. Too many stories, and most are not appropriate for general consumption. He was one of the first people to believe in me, and I’ll never forget it.Ĥ) What’s the most interesting thing that has happened to you on stage? Ms Evelyn Holst taught me high school drama, and instilled in me a sense of professionalism. Oh, it’s a long story, but three people stand out: Carol Hay encouraged me when I was very young. Seeing all my friends who work behind the scenes and taking walks along the canal. It’s a wonderful script, and we’re really hoping to have a production in the near future.Ģ) What are you looking most forward to when you arrive at the NAC? The original production was one of his first as a director and I’m very interested in seeing what he comes up with in the workshop. Canada passed a law that forbid Chinese men from bringing their wives to Canada, creating a society of bachelor men who longed for their loved ones, but also wanted to remain here, in the land that denied them basic human rights. I’m producing a workshop of a play called Bachelor Man by Winston Cam, about the struggles of Asian Canadians after the First World War. Before they arrived at the NAC for rehearsals, we asked a few questions to the members of the 2014-15 Ensemble about themselves.ġ) What are you working on over the summer?
