On a personal note, Samantha would like to thank her family, friends and the community for their overwhelming support on this endeavor, with a special shout out to Holleay, Meredith, Mike and her incredible mum for making this idea an exciting reality. A fun fact, Goodger-Pink was the maiden name of Samantha's grandmother, who was a theatre actress in England many years ago.
“The theater is the only institution in the world which has been dying for four thousand years and has never succumbed.
It requires tough and devoted people to keep it alive.”

Meredith Bailey - Media Relations
Meredith Bailey spent most of her 20s working as a professional actor on the stages and film sets of Western Canada. A fascination for storytelling and the desire for a dental plan lured her back to school. Bailey graduated from the University of King's College with a bachelor of journalism in 2011. Since then, her writing as appeared in publications from coast-to-coast including Shambhala Sun, Mindful.org, Where magazine and Avenue Magazine, where she also works full-time as assistant editor. Bailey is also a yoga teacher. She teaches twice a week, and keeps one toe firmly rooted in the theatre, appearing on Calgary's stages once every few years. Bailey is pleased to act as the publicist for Goodger-Pink productions, because she believes in its mandate to produce exciting, family-friendly theatre that's accessible to all. (Bailey also feels obligated to lend a hand to her old friend Sam Duff, because when they were roommates years ago Bailey's bedroom was significantly warmer. )
