From the program for The Seagull:

BEVERLEY BROOKS (Irina Arkadina) has acted, directed and worked backstage at Kanata Theatre since 1991. Her acting roles include Jean Brodie, Titania (A Midsummer Night's Dream), and most recently, Maureen (The Beauty Queen of Leenane) for which she won the Capital Critic's Award for Best Actor in 2006. Bev has also acted at OLT and Tara, and in two independent films. Her directing credits include The Woman in Black and Enchanted April. She studied theatre in England and has taught high school Drama.

From the program for Enchanted April:

BEVERLEY BROOKS (director) was last seen on stage as the desperate, delusional daughter in The Beauty Queen of Leenane. She has acted, directed and worked backstage at Kanata Theatre since 1991. She played the title role in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, Titania in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Kate (and Agnes - though not simultaneously) in Dancing At Lughnasa, the mother in Kindertransport among others, and has also performed at Ottawa Little Theatre and TARA. Bev has directed several ‘spooky’ plays including The Woman in Black, The Uninvited and The Death of Dracula. This season she has turned her attention to an ‘enchantingly’ joyous production and is thrilled to bring Elizabeth von Arnim’s novel and subsequent movie, The Enchanted April to Kanata Theatre’s stage.

 

From the program for Happy Birthday Dear Alice:

BEVERLEY BROOKS (Barbara) was last seen on stage as the desperate, delusional daughter in The Beauty Queen of Leenane. She has acted, directed and worked backstage at KT since 1991. She has played the title role in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, Titania in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Kate (and Agnes -though not simultaneously) in Dancing At Lughnasa, the Mother in Kindertransport, among others; and has also performed at Ottawa Little Theatre and Tara Players. Bev has directed several 'spooky' plays including The Woman in Black, The Uninvited and The Death of Dracula. Last season she directed Enchanted April. Having portrayed Irish, Scots, English, German and American, she is still looking for a role in a Welsh dialect.
