Coordinator
Carly Anna Billings (she/her) is an Italian and Ojibwe theatre-maker, risk-taker and candlestick maker. Ok that last one’s not that true, she’s only made candles in her mom’s basement once… but she IS an actor, playwright and storyteller. She is always grateful to get to play and explore on the traditional lands of her people the Mississaugas of the Credit. Her performing career has brought her to live audiences from Prince Edward Island to Edmonton to New York City and back again. In 2022, she premiered her critically acclaimed solo show exploring her cultural identities called Meat(less) Loaf (Afterlife Theatre) at the Hamilton Fringe. She believes laughter and joy are the foundation for a healthy and creative arts practice; they’re the best medicine. An improviser and comedian, she has worked with local youth in arts expression at Under the Willows as well as with community organizations like Open Heart Arts. She can’t wait to welcome our artists!
