Kateryna and Havrylo

The elderly Ukrainian-Canadian couple who graced the stage at the Winnipeg Fringe in 2022 have stumbled upon a new adventure. Plans are in the works for an upcoming performance. More details to come!

Writing, Writing and More Writing

Over these past few months, I have had an abundance of creative ideas; I have spent many hours writing new work. These works include short and long concepts for film and theatre. I’ve even been working on a novel! I don’t know exactly what will come of all these ideas, but you can expect to see some new projects on the horizon.
