Theatre Saskatchewan has announced the adjudicator for TheatreFest 2017 СÀ¶ÊÓƵ held in North Battleford and hosted by Battlefords Community Players.

Will Brooks, artistic producer of Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan will be judging the performances. Brooks hails from Regina and is now settled on a hobby farm just outside of Saskatoon with his family.

As current artistic producer of Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan, Brooks’ work was seen recently as director of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Romeo and Juliet and Othello. Brooks also had a number of appearances onstage from 2000 through 2007 with the same company as well as many others in the province.

With a varied career that has involved virtually every aspect of theatre, Brooks is currently focused on producing and directing, with the actor in him still jumping on stage on occasion. His work as director, actor, designer and dramaturge has been seen around Saskatchewan at Persephone, Dancing Sky Theatre, a number of Live Five Companies and various independent productions.

Brooks spent seven great years at Persephone Theatre before joining the festival. Brooks’ work at Persephone focused on youth programming with responsibility for the provincial youth tour, the youth presentation series and the theatre school.

Brooks is an advocate of this province and the artistic work that happens in it. He says he is excited that Theatre Sask has invited him to come and enjoy all of the work happening at this festival and looks forward to working with everyone.

TheatreFest 2017 is the 83rd festival presented by Theatre Saskatchewan and runs from April 24 – 29 at the Dekker Centre for the performing arts. Tickets are available by calling or visiting the Dekker Centre.
