Announcing the 2015/2016 Banks Prize winners!
After an extremely talented pool of auditions, we’re so excited to announce the winners of the 2015/2016 Syd and Shirley Banks Prize!
Brittany Banks is a P.E.I. native and recent graduate of Toronto’s Randolph Academy for the Performing Arts, who has already worked as a performer, director, and choreographer. Colin Simmons recently appeared in Sheridan College’s acclaimed production of Brantwood as the Caretaker, which won this year’s audience choice Dora Award. He’s also currently studying in Theatre 20’s Composium Lab under Leslie Arden.
As always, it was a very tough decision. But we’re so excited to see what Brittany and Colin create in their very own cabaret in March! But in the meantime, they’ll be performing in UnCovered: Simon & Garfunkel alongside industry pros like Reza Jacobs, Michael Therriault and Louise Pitre. More
