Interim General Manager

Philippa (they/she) is a regular old theatre rat from England, best known for diving headfirst into every opportunity possible, and failing to own a decent winter coat.
Phil first joined Saskatoon Summer Players in 2017 and has been a frequent flyer ever since. Their skills range from performing, to production managing, scenic painting, and more. When they're not at SSP, Phil is also a Live Five board member, Mum I'm a Thespian radio host, and the Community Relations Manager for 25th Street Theatre.
Above all else, Phil is passionate about building better theatre practices, where the workers are valued as much as their work.
