Grief & Grace Festival - Creative

Cheyenne is thrilled to be making her directorial debut with Sunbeam Theatre Co. Her background in theatre is multidisciplinary, ranging from stage to production. This new take on a classic will unapologetically reflect the need for collective action and creation in Toronto. She hopes to highlight her love for this art form through a new take on Alcestis by Euripides. She is excited to collaborate with the talented artists and creative minds this season at Sunbeam. Cheyenne would like to thank her family, friends, colleagues, and mentors who have helped her along the way. The best is yet to come! You can find her @cheystrub

Madi Morelli is a queer woman based out of Toronto who plans to someday publish a romance novel, a poetry collection, and a two-act play. Her work can be found in Wild Greens Magazine, Spell Jar Press's latest anthology and @musiing.more on Instagram. She is incredibly grateful for the opportunity Sunbeam Theatre has given her to shamelessly cast herself in things, and to Cheyenne, who makes all her dreams come true. She is currently singing in public.

Meaghan Salmon (she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist working and living in T:karónto. Since graduating in 2021 from Randolph College, she has co-founded Sunbeam Theatre Company, and made her professional directorial debut. Meaghan’s love of all things fashion has led her to dabble in the world of costume design, and she takes every opportunity she can to perform onstage. 

Growing up in Welland, ON, Meaghan was lucky to have had the opportunity to explore musical theatre in her classrooms and her wider community. She began to understand all aspects of theatre working both on and off stage in various school and community productions. With support from her family, teachers, and peers, Meaghan has continued to pursue her dream of working in theatre in its various forms over the years - from wanting to be in a Broadway show, to wanting to direct one. 

Meaghan is an avid reader, be it romance, fantasy, or nonfiction historical texts. She is still growing, but seeks to take every moment as a learning opportunity, to be embraced with positivity. When not surrounding herself with stacks of sheet music and scripts, she can be found roaming the 5th floor of the Toronto Reference Library.

In her spare time, she enjoys knitting and playing board games.

Rachel (she/her) is a multi-disciplinary artist and teacher based in Toronto, who has worked and performed all over the world including: Canada, the UK, and China. She is a graduate from Randolph College for the Performing Arts (Triple Threat College Program, Diploma) and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (Musical Theatre Performance, Masters). She is also in the process of obtaining her Level I voice teacher certification with the Institute of Vocal Advancement.

(Totally Legit Productions).

Making her directorial debut with Sunbeam Theatre Co, Rachel is excited to tackle Chekov's "The Three Sisters". The themes of grief and longing in this play is something that needs to be reflected on in this current state of the world. She'd like to thank Sunbeam for this opportunity, and for giving upcoming directors and actors the space to explore.
