Barb Scheffler was born in Toronto and still calls the city her home. She works primarily as a performer, and is a graduate of the Musical Theatre Program at Sheridan College. While raising her three children, she spent several years working for Mysteriously Yours Dinner Theatre and decided to try her hand at writing murder mysteries. She wrote several successful scripts for them including Murder at Twilight, Once Upon a Murder and No Time to Kill. Bitten by the playwriting bug she went on to write several short plays and collaborated with her husband Michael Harms on several musicals: Road to Muskoka, Chelsea Moor Castle and Lear Incorporated. Her children’s play Pirates Don’t Babysit! won the Best of Fringekids Award at the Toronto Fringe. And her first full-length play The Beaver Club premiered at the Port Stanley Festival Theatre in 2023 to rave reviews and a sold out run.
