Founder & Artistic Director: Grace Delamere

Grace Delamere (she/they) is a Canadian queer and genderqueer artist. They are a theatre performer and creator. They are passionate about being a part of new works in Canada, especially those created by and/or for marginalized individuals. She has had the pleasure of writing, performing in, and producing both new works and published works. They thoroughly enjoy the art of making theatre, whether she is on or off the stage. Theatre is a medium of storytelling through which we can spread important messages and genuine joy and comfort to audiences and artists. It is a place where untold stories can be heard, and unsung voices can be amplified. Theatre feels like home to me; it is where I feel most comfortable and where I feel most held. I aspire to create and contribute to environments where anyone would feel safe to enter and interact in.

Creative Lead: Meg Gibson

Meg Gibson is an actor, visual artist, and singer/songwriter based in Toronto. She is a 2025 graduate from the National Theatre School’s acting program, where she worked on shows such as Jane Eyre by Erin Shields and The Government Inspector by Nikolai Gogol, as well as new works by emerging artists. Most notably in Toronto, she played Greenhouse in Pucker’s inaugural production of Concord Floral. Her future works include presenting an original puppetry piece in the Mississauga Puppet Festival, as well as playing Emily Brontë in the Toronto workshop of The Bells: A Brontë Musical. Meg is constantly creating and being moved by what others create – particularly being drawn to the magic of theatre. They are a curious and passionate artist, captivated by storytelling and the intersections of various art forms. They have never directed before – unless drama club in the eighth grade counts – but they are grateful for the opportunity to direct this piece and collaborate with such brilliant creatives.

Associate Producer: Abi Boatright

Abi Boatright (All Pronouns) is a producer, audio and performance artist, filmmaker and stage performer from rural southern Ontario. Traced back to growing up in a small agriculture community, Abi's work focuses on communicating self and individual identity through intimate personal storytelling, a focus on the physical body and physical media, and showcasing the influence of community on self-perception. She explores this through film and sonic expression while translating ideas of discomfort, confusion and alienation toward their identity. With a particular interest in gender and sexuality, Abi's work aims to document their complicated personal journey with queerness stemming from a rural background laced with acts of hate and conservative mindsets. Creative expression is an avenue in which they tell stories, via sonic or visual expression, and enact personal catharsis via artmaking to build collective consciousness and community. To Abi, art is a means to enact a part of self that has otherwise been concealed in fear or hate. Artmaking allows Abi to reconcile with the past, whilst also ripping into the present with artistic expression fuelled by an ever-growing identity influenced by both their roots and their thirst for diversified experience.
