Sierra Haynes (she/her), a proud graduate of Studio 58, is an emerging, multiple Dora Mavor Moore Award winning, multi-disciplinary artist from Treaty 4 (Regina, SK), now establishing herself in Toronto, ON, and working in theatres across the country.

She recently released a podcast commissioned by the Globe Theatre, Stage Write: The Playwright’s Podcast, where she facilitated conversations between some of Canada’s most exciting playwrights in discussion about their craft. She was the Apprentice Dramaturg at the Banff Centre’s 2024 Playwrights Lab. Sierra is a series writer on AMI-tv network’s award-nominated scripted comedy series, The Squeaky Wheel: Canada.

With guidance from Nightswimming Theatre’s Brian Quirt and Gloria Mok, Sierra’s internship will focus on the dramaturgy of new works with various development techniques as well as designing and producing extended workshop processes that incorporate artists from several disciplines.
