Carri Toivanen, Assistant Stage Director

Carri is excited to be working on this production as assistant director! She's a Vancouver-based performing artist who loves finding the essence of a story, both as a content producer and performer. She’s also been involved with indie projects, network TV shows, the motion capture stage, and voiceover including commercials, video games, and an audio book. Onstage, she performed in her first lead role in Chimerica with United Players of Vancouver, and previously as a supporting player in Macbeth.

She started to find her way to a love of stories in some of her first jobs, including backstage at a dinner theatre, public relations and assistant to the president/GM and music director for the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, and in her career in writing and content production. Carri has studied in Vancouver and New York City.
