Acting

Alison has been working on and offstage since she was 15, when she talked her way into a job as the “gopher” at the Kawartha Summer Theatre in Lindsay, Ontario.

Most recently, she can be seen as “Whoreen” in two seasons of Amazon Prime’s The Lake, in an episode of CBS’ Ghosts and CBC’s Murdoch Mysteries.

She has worked at theatres across the country, from Buddies in Bad Times to the Shaw Festival, from Lacombe Alberta to Charlottetown PEI. Favourite roles include Studio 180’s production of The Laramie Project, two separate productions of The Ladies Foursome in Ontario and Alberta, Top Gun! The Musical (Toronto Fringe, Factory Theatre and the New York Musical Theatre Festival) and her own plays The Catering Queen (at the Toronto Fringe and in the sold-out independent remount) and bittergirl, which she co-wrote and co-starred in with Annabel Fitzsimmons and Mary Francis Moore.
