Playwright and Dramaturg

Scout’s most recent piece Cult Play premiered with Imago Theatre in Fall 2025, followed by a production at Neptune Theatre in Winter 2026, and was shortlisted for the Carol Bolt Award for Drama. Scout’s other plays include O Death, a nuanced exploration of cancel culture, trans identity, and the legacy of our cultural icons, and This is the August, a darkly funny love story about generational frictions, fame, and the blurring of public and private selves, which premiered at SummerWorks. Their short play Lodged in the Body toured nationally and internationally with Theatre of the Beat.

Scout’s work has been supported by the Stratford Festival, Playwrights’ Workshop Montréal, The Manitoba Association of Playwrights, Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, Nightwood Theatre, The Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre, Prairie Theatre Exchange, and Sanctuary Queer Arts in Scotland. She’s participated in residencies at Gros Morne National Park and Artscape Gibraltar Point and was the Artist in Residence in Riding Mountain National Park.

As a dramaturg, Scout has collaborated on new plays with artists across Canada and in the UK, most recently working with playwrights Megan Piercey Monafu at the Great Canadian Theatre Company in Ottawa, Annie Valentina at the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 in Halifax, and Kristy Pickering at the Tron in Glasgow. Scout works as a mentor and dramaturg with Playwrights Workshop Montréal.

Scout holds an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Guelph and a BA in Creative Writing from Concordia University.

Is It You?

Upcoming staged reading at undercurrents theatre festival in Ottawa (February, 2027).

A woman retraces the course of a love affair, but what begins as an attempt to reconstruct one relationship opens into something stranger: other lovers enter the frame, timelines slip. The joy of falling in love becomes impossible to disentangle from the devastation of losing it. And yet, Is It You? asks us to hold on to hope when all we have left of love are the stories we tell ourselves.
