Renowned Canadian director Robin Phillips passed away on July 25, 2015, after a prolonged illness. He was 73.

Robin was best known as the former head of the Stratford Festival in Ontario; however, he was also the Director General of the Citadel Theatre in Edmonton from 1990 – 1995. Robin has directed and mentored a number of Alberta-based theatre artists, and has had a considerable impact on our our provincial theatre community. 

Theatre Alberta offers our condolences to Robin’s family and friends, and to all he had affected with his work and teachings.
