Behind the Curtain

We are a collective of educators, artists, and technical professionals bound by a single mission: to provide the youth of British Columbia with a transformative theatrical experience.

Our Body of Work

The BC NTS DramaFest is not the product of any single individual; it is the culmination of decades of shared passion and collaborative effort. Together, our producing team brings together a lifetime of experience spanning secondary school drama classrooms, ABCDE executive boards, and professional film sets.

We are proud of our individual accolades, but when we step into the festival, we check our resumes at the door. Our focus is entirely on the ensemble. We exist to steward the rich legacy of the Association of British Columbia Drama Educators, to bridge the gap between student theatre and the professional world, and to execute the logistical magic that allows students to simply focus on their craft.

The Team

Stewarding the educational vision and executing the magic that brings the festival to life.
