Other: Shakespeare in Love (Peter) – Scarborough Players; Tick, Tick... Boom! (Counter Guy / Ensemble) – Whitby Courthouse Theatre

By day, Douglas labours among circuits and wires as an IT Engineer, keeping the lights of the modern age burning bright; by night, he treads the quiet paths of the stage, where stories rise like dawn upon distant hills. His home is one filled with the spirit of theatre, for his eldest daughter, Kaylee, serves as stage manager for Peter and the Starcatcher at Whitby Courthouse Theatre, while his wife and younger daughters lend their hands to sound and light. The younger two, eager learners of the craft, prepare a play of their own within their school’s hall.

So too does his son, Aiden, labour in the arts, serving as Assistant Stage Manager and child manager for Scarborough Players’ A Christmas Story.

Having journeyed east from Vancouver together to begin anew, the family has walked many long roads and had many adventures, yet always finds its way back to warm fires, bright laughter, and the company of kin, where stories are shared and new adventures take shape. And when the week’s work is done, they gather round the RPG table to journey once more, venturing together through worlds of their own making; for in their house it is well known that not all who wander are lost.

Julian is delighted to be back working with SMT. After graduating from Humber College's music program Julian worked for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines as a trumpet player from 2011-2014. Since returning to land, Julian has been an active member in the Toronto music scene. This has given him the opportunity to hone his expertise on the trumpet becoming fluent in most genres of music.

As well as a trumpet player, Julian is an accomplished horn arranger/transcriber/producer, often having to write and sometimes record horn parts for many of the bands/artists he has worked with.
