Dr. Rachel Rhoades, Assistant Professor in the Dramatic Arts department at Brock University, has worked as an applied theatre practitioner, educator, and researcher with students ranging from Grade 1 to the graduate level for 14 years in community- and school-based settings in Boston, Toronto, and now in St. Catharines. Over the past two years, she has collaborated on many theatre-based projects with the Niagara Folk Arts Multicultural Centre.
