The poster for Evelyn Strange, which my father took off of the front of the theatre and sat with in the audience when he came to see the show.

Shannon Blanchet – Evelyn Strange by Stewart Lemoine – Teatro La Quindicina, Edmonton, 2006

Evelyn Strange was my first professional role out of university and reminded me that making theatre can be FUN. It introduced me to the wonderful world of Stewart Lemoine, Jeff Haslam and Teatro La Quindicina, a company that has embraced, encouraged and developed me as both as a performer and producer. It is not an understatement to say that the direction of my entire career changed after that show. Hey Stewart, thanks for the part!
