Charlotte Nixon
2021, Artist In Residence
“While in residency at Caetani, I wrote the first draft of Frontrunner Fable, a Theatre for Young Audience One Act. From Caetani, the work went through a second draft, and with help from the Alberta Foundation of the Arts it was produced with Goodger-Pink Family Theatre in Southern Alberta and went on to publication with Brooklyn Publishers in the United States. The piece was also recognized by Little Ottawa Theatre with the Sybil Cooke National TYA Playwright Award.”
