An interdisciplinary theatre artist, Kaitlin was named Artistic Director of Pacific Theatre in September 2020. In various capacities, she has also worked with Bard on the Beach, the Arts Club, the Belfry Theatre, ITSAZOO, Delinquent Theatre, the Electric Company, Chemainus Theatre, Western Canada Theatre, Touchstone Theatre, Rumble Theatre and many others. Kaitlin has been nominated for multiple Jessie Richardson Theatre Awards and her Pacific shows have received 8 nominations, including “Outstanding Ensemble” (Almost, Maine) and “Outstanding Production and Direction” (Kim’s Convenience).

Above all, Kaitlin is a community builder and she believes theatre is one of the best ways we can commune together–to bear witness to what it means to be human, grow in our empathy, and collectively attempt to gain a deeper understanding of the world around us.

Kaitlin was born and raised on the unceded land of the of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. She has had her feet planted on Coast Salish territory all her life and is grateful to call this beautiful place home.

I woke up in the middle of the night and wrote this monologue. I’m interested in the characters who are out of frame in our oft-told stories, the ones “offstage” as it were. I had been wondering if Jonah had a wife, and what her experience of him leaving would have been. This monologue came as a response to those questions. In my research I learned that the name Jonah means Dove in Hebrew.
