No preparation is required, although you’re welcome to come prepared!

About the Director:
Ethan Persyko (they/them) is a Toronto-based Queer and Disabled multidisciplinary theatre and film director. Ethan recently served as the Shadow Director for Soulpepper Theatre’s Training Room, which is what inspired them to create a monologue training room of their own.
Ethan has developed a prolific portfolio across the city’s independent theatre and screen industries, working with organizations including Amazon Prime, outTV, Blink49 Studios, TIFF, InsideOut Festival, Toronto Fringe, The Assembly Theatre, King Black Box, The Theatre Centre, Tarragon Theatre, Alumnae Theatre, Buddies in Bad Times Theatre / Border2Border Entertainment, Musical Stage Company, Hart House Theatre, and Shakespeare in the Ruff.
Guided by a deep commitment to equity, accessibility, and care, Ethan focuses on creating playful, low-pressure spaces where artists can take creative risks and feel safe bringing their full selves into the room. For Ethan, community isn’t just something that happens around art—it is the art.
