HEATHER D. SWAIN
PLAYWRIGHT/ACTOR

Heather is an actor, writer, director, teacher and producer who in 1992 came to do a Fringe show and never left town. The majority of her writing has been ...ON DEMAND... you pay her - she writes! That positive reinforcement loop led to writing/performing collectively. First, in Toronto, for Nightwood Theatre, Theatre Direct Canada, and Company of Sirens, earning a Dora Award for Love and Work Enough (Playwrights Canada 1992). Then Azimuth Theatre's, Breasting the Waves, Stirling Award nomination and A.M.P.I.A's, Best Drama nomination for Pink Card Club. Her solo writing has appeared at Loud & Queer Cabaret, Workshop West Theatre's first writing circle and Script Salon. Heather has spent the last 2 decades completing a series of short stories that are still sitting on a shelf. She is grateful to WWPT for this opportunity to get her newest work completed.  To all out there Keep Writing!
