Summer, 2008

Sessional instructor Fran Gebhard who directed "The School for Scandal" this past spring, is doing another time-bending approach to her direction of "Much Ado about Nothing" for the Victoria Shakespeare Society's outdoor production on Camosun College's Lansdowne campus. The play, which will be set as a western in the post Korean war era, includes many current and past Phoenix Theatre students including: Nathan Brown, David Christopher, Matt Coulson, Graham Roebuck, Brian Wrigley and Kholby Wardell and costumes designed by Kate Costin.

Theatre alumna (BFA '97) Tamara Marie Kucheran won a 2008 Dora Mavor Moore Award for her Costume Design of the play "Intimate Apparel" at the Obsidian Theatre Company in Toronto.

Alumna Celine Stubel was also awarded the Jessie for Outstanding Performance of an Actress in a Leading Role for "My Chernobyl", which was also presented at The Belfry Theatre this spring.
