What Even IS a Death Doula?
I held my first public + in-person Death Doula event with friend Madeleine Domingue at Red Sandcastle Theatre and I really enjoyed it! We decided to do a hybrid event where the first half was us presenting what we agree is a Death Doula’s role is (as it’s not exactly a strict definition at this time… will it ever be?), and then introduced how and why we were called to death work. Definition is…

Doula..ing
It’s been quite the journey to becoming (or realizing I’m) a Death Doula. I have had great training and resources through Hospice Toronto, continue to read and challenge myself with certifications and death education. But its been 2 years to the day since I applied for the End of Life Doula course and I keep finding meaningful moments that propel me forward on this path. Just today I started…

Take a look!
A friend of mine asked if I would be available for a student film as his collegue painted a redhead for class and he said “huh, that looks like Adrianna!” and what a neat way to be asked to come into a project… Gone Portrait is a short film that made me think of Dorian Gray. Thanks to the Creative Team: Yu Lu He, Rick Kunst, Hiên Võ

Big Red News
I’ve done a lot of shows at The Red Sandcastle Theatre, including my one-woman show premiered with me in it there, I’ve done a few indie theatre shows like The Parliamentarians, and I even helped form a collective of playwrights and formed a festival around our work before the pandemic. It’s been an amazing space to hold my creativity, as well as the homestead for Eldritch Theatre productions,…

Dead end ahead...
This year marked the ten year deathaversary of my dear brother Andrew’s suicide in November. You may know that I created a one-woman show to help digest my grief through storytelling and resource sharing in Everything But the Cat… which I also wrote about on my mental health and suicide prevention blog on tumblr. I have hung up the show and put it into archive digitally on YouTube, so if you ever…

....and I'm back!
….and I’m back!
A few years ago I was having to navigate a major job loss, and then becoming a part-time professor for Centennial College. I needed a break from the grind of the audition room and to refocus on what was newly on my horizon. It’s been a few years, but I never really left the performing arts – as I have been working steadily as a digital storyteller and marketing managerfor several arts…

I have had such a great time creating and sharing with GhostLight! I am working on Studio Sessions as a Digital Producer behind the scenes, and recently I filled in for our regular host Charlotte Gowdy in front of the scenes… that’s not the saying but you get me.
I have been so lucky to have met and befriended EB Smith through GhostLight, and then again to have this conversation with him on…

These are strange times we are living through; I wrote about the impact of our new “normal” on my mental health blogthat tries to encapsulate the surreal reality we find ourselves in. The imagery of pushing through the darkness (IE depression, anxiety, fear of living through a global pandemic) and trying to still access creativity as a means of expression without all the avenues we are used to.…

Muppet Puppet Time
Muppet Puppet Time! Read my blog about getting back into puppetry! (pssst there's Fraggles)
I have always loved puppets. I used to be a puppeteer for The Concerned Kids for a long time, and also led their training program for a while.
As a Bunraku puppeteer for The Concerned Kids
My love for puppets starts WAY BACK when Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock was on TV, and my very favourite Today’s Special. It was a dream come true to meet puppeteer Nina Keogh and her puppet Muffy the…

Julius Caesar is onstage (and online!)
I have been working behind-the-scenes (well behind-the-screen) for Groundling Theatre and Crow’s Theatre’s adaptation of Julius Caesar as their social media specialist. I have been having a blast managing their Facebook and Twitter, where so many audience members and critics are able to interact with me and tell me how much they LOVE this production.

The Year of Yes
2019 the year I said yes to a lot of things...
This was a year of me saying yes to opportunities, and not just yes to things that made me excited - I said yes to things that made me scared and I said yes to some hard choices. Overall 2019 was a hard year to get through but also one of the greatest in terms of self growth and joy.
A look back: - I helped found a theatre collective called Whiskey Ginger Collective and I helped produce our first festival; my Western got a staged reading and good feedback! Something I had been wanting to do for years!
-I rode a horse and started to learn to shoot a bow from horseback.
- I left two jobs that made me mentally unwell; I learned that boundaries are healthy and necessary for good health. I had an interview for what I thought was the job of my dreams and never got it... but then started working on contracts that fulfilled me and filled me up that I started to dream in new ways.
-I started several new contracts and continued to work for people that paid me to be creative and valued my contributions, and I am very lucky to have that in my life. I say thank you to the universe daily. I would like to thank Dylan Trowbridge and Eric Woolfe for believing in me even when I didn’t (the picture above is from my summer social media contract that blew my mind I was signed on for) it’s a down right joy to do what I do for money and I know I’m stupid lucky to do it.
-I started to work as a personal support worker part-time and it has been very rewarding on many levels. I had no idea what to expect going into it but I can safely say that I am very lucky to have this opportunity and I’m glad I said yes to something that on paper it looked like I was no good at, when in fact it has been such a wonderful experience. Thank you Zahra for having me as your PSW, and your mom for making it happen.
-I flew, no for real, I did that flying thing in a wind tunnel that spins you around! And I flew to many places by plane too: Disney World and Korea. I built my own lightsaber, and will ring in the new year in Seoul.
-I said yes to supporting my friend in her adventures around the world even though I knew it would be well out of my comfort zone with my anxiety disorder. But somethings are bigger than you, and sometimes you have to say yes even though you don’t know if you can do something... and I sit this typing in Seoul, Korea mere hours from the turn of the decade into 2020 and I’m so glad I said yes to this to be there for her and to be adventurous in ways I have never been before. A gift truly.
-I became an in-class, partial load college Professor and it was much harder than I expected but much more rewarding than I expected too. Investing in strangers who grew to be my students who I mentored felt... amazing! My heart grow a bit larger to accommodate them all and I am excited for all they will do going forward.
-I played openly and geeked out without shame, and will continue to do so. I never feel regret over geeking publically and I usually make authentic friends from doing so. I am thankful for Wayne, Elizabeth, Jay, Nik, Tyler (and all the Mur’s Nerds) and several others I consider my “nerdy-friends” as that’s our touchbase: we share a joy for all things nerd and that brings us together and THAT makes my heart swell.
- I spent more time with family and friends, made it a priority by scheduling time for them and I love it. The fact that my Dad and I have a standing Star Trek date makes me ridiculously happy. When my brother calls me up to hang out my heart jumps. It’s a very lucky thing to boast about.
Things I’d like in 2020
More: puppets, creation time (writing, acting, photography...), adventures with friends and family (near and far), active thankfulness, feeling grounded in my career(s), and saying yes to more opportunities even when they may seem scary.
Less: self-doubt, worrying about... well everything.
As I stare down what to me is a significant year in my life, it will be the 10th anniversary of my brother Andrew’s death, I would very much like to close a door on grief that weighs me down and move into a more passive grief that seeks to remind me of how much love and joy there is in my life. I want this year to be not of a chapter closing but a whole damn book. I want a new adventure. I want this one to be titled Everything I Took Back.
May your 2020 be full of critical hits, and say yes more.

I am so excited for Checkpoint 300 at Fringe this year – ok ok I’m bias, because not only am I working on the show as their marketing and publicist, but I also know Michelle Wise (Playwright and Director) and Geoff Mays from a long time ago from my actors life. Plus bringing to life such a heavy but important subject as xenophobia and religious conflict in the middle east – this show won an award…

Notes from the Playwright
Notes from the Playwright
Once upon a time I wrote about something very close to my broken heart for the stage. I wrote a 40 minute one-woman show about my first year of bereavement after my brother died by suicide. As a theatre creator it was the best way to express myself and to process and understand what had happened. It accomplished some of those things.
I workshopped it, staged it, toured it, and still do it…
