Nyla Carpentier Biography

Multi-award-winning Vancouver-based Ruby Slippers Theatre imagines a world where diversity is celebrated through a deeper understanding of each other. To bring this vision to reality, Ruby Slippers Theatre illuminates underrepresented perspectives and inspires independent critical thought by giving voice to diverse, female-identifying artists and by premiering significant Québec works in English translation on the West Coast of Canada.

Ruby Slippers Theatre acknowledges that we are on the stolen lands of the Coast Salish People, the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwxwú7mesh (Squamish) and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) First Nations. We are committed to learning to work in solidarity with Indigenous peoples as accomplices in shifting the colonial default.
