The Gina Wilkinson Prize
Gina Wilkinson was a prolific actor/playwright and a stage director in constant demand. Her sudden passing was a great loss to her family, friends and the theatre community who cherished her joy, energy, and great lust for life.
In memory of Gina’s great talent and in celebration of her life, Gina's Prize was established as an annual award, offering financial support to a female identifying theatre artist/leader who is exploring new models of storytelling in the diverse and culturally specific theatre communities in what is now known as Canada.
We would like to thank THE KINGFISHER FOUNDATION, Debbie Gray, Kristina Nicoll, Gail Asper, O.C., O.M., LL.D and Michael Paterson and all our donors for generously supporting Gina’s Prize at our 10th Year Anniversary.
