Brendan is a theatre Swiss-Army knife. Known primarily for his work as a professional theatre technician, Brendan is also an accomplished actor, director, playwright, designer, production manager, stage manager, academic, and post-secondary instructor.

Most people don’t know this, because Brendan’s a terrible publicist. He’s worked extensively for The Citadel Theatre, Northern Light Theatre, Workshop West Theatre, L’Unitheatre, ATCO Energy Theatre, and has taught Stage Carpentry, Scenic Carpentry, and Installation Art courses at the University of Alberta. Currently, he works as a house technician for the Horizon Stage in Spruce Grove.

Brendan started with Rapid Fire as a regular Theatresports player in the early 90’s. He drifted away from the company when he was drawn over to the dark side to hone his skills as a theatre technician. In 2012 he returned to RFT more powerful than ever before, with the awesome powers of the Zeidler Control Booth at his command. He particularly enjoys calling down lightning.

Brendan holds a BA in Drama and a BFA in Technical Theatre, both from the University of Alberta, where he is currently writing his Master’s thesis on the nature of transformation in the works of Robert Lepage. He looks forward to being a jack-of-all-trades, and master of one.
