We're delighted to welcome Rebecca Spilchak to the Burnt Thicket Theatre team as our new Community Engagement Associate. Rebecca's an emerging artist, content creator, and a student at USask. This new role supports our public relations and will be a catalyst for growing good relationships with new audiences, communities, and supporters who haven't as yet encountered our work.
Rebecca says, "I'm excited to combine my interests in theatre and digital marketing in this new role at Burnt Thicket!"
"I have no doubt Rebecca will be a great asset in this new role," says artistic director Stephen Waldschmidt. "Rebecca brings a host of skills and, for someone just finishing university, has remarkably extensive experience with marketing and community outreach in professional theatre as well as agriculture. I can't wait to see how she will help us to develop new connections in the community and kindle hopeful change in more people's lives."
