Hey there, time traveller!

Winnipeg-born actor-director-playwright Audrey Dwyer has been tapped to serve as the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre’s new associate artistic director, starting in August.
Dwyer will take over the position from outgoing associate AD Krista Jackson, just after Kelly Thornton assumes the artistic director role from Steven Schipper, who will be retiring on May 31. Dwyer was formerly an associate artistic director of Toronto’s feminist Nightwood Theatre, where Thornton has been serving as AD since 2001.
Dwyer, who studied theatre at the University of Manitoba, brings with her more than 20 years of experience in theatre.

She is currently the assistant artistic director of Toronto’s Tarragon Theatre, and from 2016 to 2017, she was the artistic director of Cow Over Moon Children’s Theatre. She most recently performed at Royal MTC in Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike and is slated to direct Frances Koncan’s play Women of the Fur Trade in 2020 on the Warehouse stage.
“Royal MTC is a theatre home that I love and care about, deeply,” Dwyer said in a press release. “To return to my hometown and work at the theatre where I took my first professional steps brings me immense joy.”
