Harriet Faught, Front of House and Finance Director
Hey! I’m Harriet (she/her)! I’m in U2 studying Education for Kindergarten/Elementary. This is my second year at Players’ as the Front of House Manager and Finance Director. I started my theatre journey at 12 as an ensemble pirate in Peter Pan and realized, the stage is not for me… I found my place behind the scenes as a stage manager in high-school, doing administrative work for Players’ Exec, and most recently trying my hand at script writing for the McGill Drama Festival 2024. So excited for another amazing year with Players’!

Claire Tees, Publicity Director
Hi there! My name is Cal (she/they) and I'm in my fifth year studying History with a minor in Cultural Studies. Since my breakout role as a Knife in Beauty and the Beast, the stage and I have been inseparable. I found a home away from home at Players’ Theatre in my second year (if you look closely, you can find me in the photo gallery!), and last year had a blast as the MDF Coordinator for the 2022/23 Festival. I was honoured to be serving as the Executive Director for the 2023-24 season, and this year I am thrilled to be bombarding the public with all of the wonders of modern social media technology on behalf of my beloved Players’ Theatre!
