Lily Falk is an emerging theatre-maker living in Kjipuktuk (Halifax) and co-artistic director of Gale Force Theatre. Her first play, Crypthand, premiered last Fall and won the 2022 Playwrights Guild of Canada's Emerging Playwright Award. In July 2023, it'll be playing at the Ship's Company Theatre in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia. She's currently developing a serialized audio drama for middle grades and a comedy about a high school environmental club that takes a forestry executive hostage. Lily was deeply impacted by her time as an apprentice at the River Clyde Pageant and is excited to be back for another summer of community arts magic. When she's not making theatre, you can find her facilitating nature preschool programming, playing the accordion, or riding a tandem bike with the ones she loves.
