Gerry Potter
Edmonton, Canada
I'm a theatre and film director, university teacher and writer. I also volunteer on the Board of Rising Sun Theatre,
I have an Honours BA in English and an MFA in Theatre Directing. I started Workshop West Playwrights' Theatre in 1978 and worked there for 17 years, later served as Artistic Director of Fringe Theatre for Young People before moving into filmmaking and university teaching. In 2004, a group of us founded Rising Sun Theatre, a non-profit where adults with developmental disabilities create & perform theatre with the support of theatre pros, and I'm now a volunteer on the board.
