In between all that, Jeff can be seen at Bard on the Beach, acting (2015, 2016, 2018) and teaching all-ages Shakespeare workshops at Vancouver TheatreSports on Granville Island where he’s been a mainstage ensemble member and teaching faculty since 2000 glimpsed on TV and film projects like iZombie (CW), The Killing (AMC), Motive (CTV), Drawing Home (MYRA Ent), and the upcoming feature Kingsway by Bruce Sweeney.
Jeff still finds ways to get involved in Monster projects as music composer/director, writer, outside eye, audience member, volunteer, festival producer and enthusiastic fan. When Ryan formed Monster Theatre, Jeff was an instant fan, and joined up for The Canada Show & The Big Rock Show, touring fringe festivals, schools and theatres across Canada from 2002 until some lost night a few years back. Early projects together included “Kids in Space” and “Let’s take our pet iguanas to show and tell”. Jeff has been Ryan’s brother as far back as he can remember. She lives in Vancouver with her wonderful husband Jim, and their ridiculous meatloaf of a rescue dog, Pita. She co-produces and performs in Phantom Signal, a monthly live horror-comedy radio show at Little Mountain Gallery. She is also co-founder and Artistic Director of Sticky Fingers Productions, with whom she has co-created and performed in The Unfortunate Ruth (PTC New Play Prize recipient), Herewithal: A Paranormal Comedy, (also produced asSearching for Dick) Down the Drain (a puppet traumedy), Swamp Lake: a stormy puppet ballet and Fluffy 10th Street to name a few. Other select stage credits include The Wizard of Oz (Gateway Theatre), Rip! A Winkle In Time (Axis Theatre), and Leading Ladies (Gateway Theatre). Upcoming is a new creation for Secondary School audiences: We Now Know: The Complete History of Science. The three events sold out with Netwerk running for two editions (speed networking for independent film-makers) and Kick Off, an event designed to jumpstart young film creatives in early 2020, being a fun success.įuture goals include making thousands of people giggle in the West End and writing a book to help OCD folks navigate their wonderful, wild, creative minds.Tara Travis is an actor-writer-puppeteer and former Artistic Producer of Monster Theatre with whom she has co-created and performed Shakespeare’s Dream (original adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream) Who Killed Gertrude Crump?, Til Death: The Six Wives of Henry VIII, Houdini’s Last Escape, Lavinia: A Modern Fairy Tale of Gigantic Proportions, The Shakespeare Show, 12 original adaptations of Classics of Literature with Mini Masterpieces, and the Jessie-award winning The Little Prince. In a community capacity, Alpen joined the Young Emerging Actors Committee in 2018 (Union of British Columbian Performers) as the Fundraising Spearhead with the goal to create a safe networking space for anxious creatives.
Her weekly blog on the subject was on hold for a year, but will be back in late October, 2021, here! Alpen is also a writer: her first short film that she wrote, co-produced and starred in is currently in post-production scheduled for a 2021 fall release and she recently created a 35 min solo show titled Thought Monster about her experiences with obsessive compulsive disorder.
There’s nothing better than making people laugh! She’s done it all: directing, producing, editing, writing, casting for theatre and film… the list goes on! But her number one focus is acting, specifically theatre… specifically comedy, specifically musical theatre comedy! Alpen is a natural comedienne and improviser: she spent 4 years with the Shakespeare After Dark troupe improvising Shakespearean tragedies for live audiences. Originally from Canada, Katherine Alpen is a quirky, redheaded, dual British/Canadian actor/singer currently residing in the UK.Īfter receiving a diploma in musical theatre (2014), Alpen worked primarily in commercials and indie film ( Exuvia, CampDeath, Living with Bigfoot) in Vancouver before moving to the UK in 2020 to complete her MA Acting in Birmingham.
