Courtney Jessica Larkin
Born and raised in Canada, Courtney became involved in the theatre at a young age when she acted with a local community theatre group. During her high school years, she continued to grow with the theatre, taking on nearly every creative role.
She travelled to Montreal, Canada where she completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a Specialization in Theatre Performance at Concordia University. Whilst she was there, she encountered the teachings of the acclaimed Canadian Theatre director Sarah Garton Stanley, who influenced her greatly. After finishing her degree she moved quickly into directing.
She was the General Manager of a Beijing Opera Company based out of Montreal and has assisted on shows as well as stage managed, designed and directed personal projects.
She is currently completing a Master of Fine Arts in Theatre Directing at East 15 Acting School based out of London, UK.

Before moving to the UK, she was working in New Brunswick.There, she has recently been seen in productions of Oh, What a Lovely War!, Top Girls, and Hamlet. She was part of Fredericton's Bard in the Barracks company for three years, performing in Macbeth, King Lear, Love's Labour's Lost and The Tempest. She's dabbled in film a little, winning Best Actress at the SilverWave Film Festival in 2011 and 2012 for That Cowboy Kid and On The Last Day, and has also had the opportunity to travel with Theatre Free Radical to the Vancouver Fringe Festival and Toronto SummerWorks with an original piece called Utopia.
East 15 has offered her incredible opportunities, including a two week residency at The Globe Theatre and this year, she'll be headed to Moscow for a month to participate in the GITIS program. After graduation, she's hoping to settle into a London flat where she can give this creative career a shot.

The Cast
Ashley Pearson is a theatre director, playwright, and musician originally from Western Canada. She holds a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences in abstract mathematics and liberal arts from Quest University Canada. Ashley is intrigued by the question “what does it mean to be human?”, and believes that theatre is uniquely situated to answer this question, as theatre the mirror with which we examine society, culture, and ourselves. In her work she explores the individual and social construction of identity, and the tension between our rational and emotional selves. In 2010, Ashley was an apprentice director at New York Stage and Film’s Powerhouse Theatre Festival. She composes music, and plays classical piano and bass guitar. Ashley has worked as a research fellow and peer tutor in subjects including mathematics, logic, astrophysics, quantum mechanics, and creative and academic writing. Ashley is currently in the midst of her MFA in theatre directing at East 15 Acting School.
