Roxanne Thornton Estate

Roxanne Thornton’s childhood pastime was to write and perform plays in hometown Belleville. She graduated in Fine Art and holds a Masters of Education in Curriculum Writing. Involved in a hundred theatre productions, she had dozens of nominations and awards. Not only had she been instructed by some of the best mentors in theatre she was honoured to work with great Canadian Playwrights such as Dan Needles and Norm Foster. Her freelance writing can be found in local newspapers and two magazines published feature articles. Organizations commissioned her for specific works. Can Lightning Strike Twice is one of her “hilarious farces” where the skirt chasing hero is changed into a woman and has to deal with the fall out. Her Christmas Panto- An Inappropriate Claus sees Santa in lots of hot water for being politically incorrect. Her work Not Done Yet echoes the elderly’s concern for how their family relates to them, but of course they will outwit their adult children!
