ACTOR

Joseph is a Calgary-based emerging artist with a BFA in Drama from the University of Calgary. He is a multi-passionate individual whose creative style is influenced both by his background in improv and clown as well as his experience in the marching arts. He is over the moon to be beginning his professional theatre career with Quest and to more deeply explore physical theatre. Joseph has enthusiasm to spare and will be the first one to champion a new idea. Ask him about rollercoasters.

UNDERSTUDY

Andy Weir is an actor, juggler, and writer, who has called Calgary home for most of his life. After completing his BFA at the University of Calgary, Andy joined the “Questies” as their lovable intern for a season, where he was lucky enough to tour with their very own Shoes of Sand as the puppeteer. In the summer he chases the sun out to the mountains where he lives and works with Alberta Parks doing educational shows in the campgrounds - and after 13 shows over 6 years he’s played almost every mammal, bird, fish, insect, or arachnid you could think of. Also some plants. Needless to say, Andy greatly enjoys turning ordinary things into wacky characters, and is thrilled by the opportunity to help kids do the same through Quest!
