Recognizing Kathryn McCormack - Member's Statement

I rise today to recognize Kathryn McCormack, a talented theatre artist from Dartmouth and the Artistic Director of Eastern Front Theatre. Kat is a passionate creator, director and performer, whose work has helped to shape the Atlantic Canadian theatre scene.

Kat has contributed to over 15 new works with companies such as Zuppa Theatre, Shakespeare by the Sea, and Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia, among many others. As artistic director, Kat fosters a supportive and accessible space for artists to experiment and push the boundaries of storytelling. Her latest work, Fat Juliet, now on stage at Eastern Front Theatre, is a testament to their commitment to fresh, bold and engaging theatre. A five-time Best Theatre Actor in the Coast, and four-time Robert Merritt Award nominee, as well as the recipient of the King Charles III Coronation Medal, Kat's impact on the arts community is undeniable.

I ask all members of this House to join me in congratulating Kat McCormack for her contribution to Nova Scotia theatre, and for continuing to inspire audiences and artists alike.
