Fraser is a new grad of Studio 58 and a previous grad of Capilano University’s musical theatre diploma program. She may be familiar to readers from her star turn in Theatre Under the Stars’ 42nd Street last summer (you can see a feature about it right here). She’s also appeared in Studio 58’s Cabaret and Mortified, and Arts Club’s Rock of Ages.

In her bio, Fraser notes she’s excited to be playing a “fighting femme” in this gender-flipped production of Coriolanus, which stars Moya O’Connell in the title role.
