About the Playwrights:

Colleen Arcturus MacIsaac (they/them) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Mi’kma’ki, who works across performance, installation, playwriting, animation, comics, drawing, and illustration. The artistic producer of The Villains Theatre, they have created many plays and performance works, including an outdoor singalong astronomy class and exploration of grief (A Beginner’s Guide to the Night Sky), a proto-sci-fi novel from the 1600s transformed into a contemporary tale about climate anxiety (The Blazing World), and a postal service that guides audience members to send postcards to strangers (TO: THE UNKNOWN). Colleen’s work has been nominated for multiple awards, and they are the winner of the Halifax Mayor’s Award for Emerging Theatre Artist. An experimenter and a maker, a collaborator and a ponderer, Colleen uses humour, chance, and curiosity in an attempt to wrangle with queer futures, the polycrisis, and our search for connection in a vast universe.
