BIO - Eileen Sproule
A graduate of the University of Leeds and Concordia University, Montreal, Eileen has been directing theatre in Western Canada since 1989, when she became the Associate Artistic Director at Regina's Globe Theatre. Edmonton-based since 1990, she has also been very active in Calgary. Most of her work has been on new creations, often being brought in by the writer as director/dramaturge, or as co-creator. Dark and edgy, performer-driven, usually with live music, her work has been described as "controlled chaos". She is co-founder of the award-winning generic theatre, known for such things as The Tit Show, the Dr. Grot shows, Geek Love, and The DeadRats (with Pegaseus). Work outside actual theatres includes four years with the Foote Theatre School, a few seasons with Trickster, (a Calgary-based company that goes into schools and produces an original show in a week), and directing the voices for the puppet film The Kay Stories, with Red Smarteez, Calgary. Eileen also makes props, cards, and jewelry under the name Mothra Designs and Frugal Spendthrift.
