Playwright Reading: Joseph Tremblay

Joey grew up in a very small hamlet called Ste. Marthe in Southeast Saskatchewan. He received a B.F.A. in Drama from the University of Regina (1987) and a diploma from the Vancouver Playhouse Acting School (1989). After working several years as a freelance actor, Joey co-founded Noises in the Attic, a theatre company mandated to produce and create new Canadian plays on the fringe festival circuit across Canada. From 1996 to 2002, Joey became Artistic Co-director of Catalyst Theatre in Edmonton where he wrote, directed and produced (and sometimes performed in) the following plays: Electra, The Abundance Trilogy, My Perfect Heaven, Elephant Wake, Songs for Sinners, The House of Pootsie Plunket, The Blue Orphan and Carmen Angel. From 2004 to 2008, Tremblay was commissioned by the Globe Theatre to write and direct, O George, The Alice Nocturne, and a new version of Elephant Wake – which toured nationally. Currently Tremblay is working on an adaptation of Woyzeck and a new work called Bad Blood. In 2015, Joey was appointed as Artistic Director of Curtain Razors in Regina.
