Lanni's
association with Canadian theatre is approaching its fourth decade. At age fifteen,
she abruptly veered off a planned career path (teaching English) and threw herself into an
emerging regional theatre company thanks in part to other artists, directors, producers
and loyal audiences. Lanni has developed skills as an actor, an improvisational
actor, an instructor of young artists and a director of Mainstage and Secondstage Theatre,
employed by a number of BC companies. Her directing credits range from the comic The
Foreigner to the dramatic The Retreat. As an resident director for Western
Canada Theatre, Lanni often provides script assessments for the company. Lanni is pleased to have participated as part of the collaboration between Western Canada Theatre and Theatre BC for the development of new Canadian work at Theatre BC's New Play Festival in Kamloops, where she served as a Dramaturge/Instructor at the April 2000 event. This is Lanni's first time serving as a Juror for our competition. |
