Final Semester + Final Year

I am so thankful for the very talented community of artists I had the chance to meet during my four years at TMU's Acting Program. I've witnessed such growth from people who inspire such confidence, resilience and care. You give me hope.

You made 12 hour days bearable :)

⚔️ One of my favourite parts of working on Macbitches was getting to do the stage combat directed by Matthew Richardson (@cloakandbow). I am so lucky to have participated in such a visceral moment of the show ✂️

Abigail Macbitches in the Studio Theatre, can't go wrong with that.

We closed Macbitches!!!!! Getting to play a massive bitch was such a treat :) I'm so glad to have worked with a team of such wonderfully talented women for my final show at TMU. Lots of love for the cast @shailyn.pd @deshreeni @deannekatshunga and @ellyse_k. We make a great ensemble! I feel very bittersweet about finishing this production and our time in this program together. I can't wait to support all the beautiful art this team will continue to make :)
