Hey there, time traveller!

Winnipeg theatre vet Kimberley Rampersad has taken on an exciting new role: associate artistic director of the Shaw Festival.
The news came just a few days after Rampersad won a Merritt Award for best direction for the Neptune Theatre production of The Color Purple, a job she repeated for the RMTC/Citadel Theatre production last fall.
Last year, Rampersad served as an intern artistic director at Shaw before she was elevated to the role of associate artistic director.
In addition to her training as a dancer and actor, Rampersad also has a degree in political science form the University of Manitoba. Asked by the Free Press in October about how that degree affected her theatre career, Rampersad responded: “Directing plays and how they’re programmed is a political act. Directing for me is where my art meets my politics. We all have agency to tell stories and that’s why I am interested in artistic direction.”
