She has won numerous THEA awards for outstanding choreography and there are so many she has lost count but just locates the trophies in her guest bathroom where visitors are free to count. When not teaching dance steps to casts or Zumba classes, Baiba enjoys travelling, a gourmet meal and a nice cocktail! In her spare time, she loves gardening, parasailing, clog dancing, competitive duck herding and practicing her skills on the Theremin. She adores working with this production team and this talented cast.

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.

Moving back and forth between 1809 and the present day, Arcadia takes place at the Coverley’s family estate. In 1809 the estate’s grounds are being landscaped into picturesque gardens that include a hermitage. We follow the brilliant Thomasina and her tutor Septimus as they explore mathematics, science and the nature of sexuality and romance. In the modern-day timeline, Coverley family descendants and scholars try to unearth the truth about a possible scandal at the estate, that might have involved Lord Byron.
Often called “a play for thinkers”, Arcadia weaves a spectacular story that will not only touch the mind but also the heart.
Recommended for age 14 and up.

Recommended for ages 14 and up. Includes depictions of domestic violence, sexual assault, mental health struggles, and strong language.
