Past Creative Work

“Pollination over pollution!”

sfh is one of 50 playwrights from around the world invited to be a part of the 2023 Climate Change Theatre Action project. Her play was performed in India and the UK, and will be published in the upcoming anthology. Instigating change through stories? Yes please!

“Wow, this place…these, ceilings, eh? This floor!”

sfh is an ongoing collaborator with Falling Iguana Theatre Company. She co-wrote and has stage-managed their show DIANA: I knew you when we were fourteen in festivals across Canada. (Most recently, DIANA was voted Outstanding Production at the 2023 On The Edge Fringe Festival in North Bay, ON).

“The tales we would tell each other! The fair whimsy of them.”

sfh collaborated with Stumble Upon A Story to create and perform a multidisciplinary show, The Cricket on the Hearth, in Winnipeg, MB (2023).
