A Write Out Loud Spotlight on Local Writers

The Lyric Theatre Digital Stage Write Out Loud is pleased to feature talented local authors online beginning 7:00 p.m., Wednesday, February 24, 2021.

Cole Girodat is a writer and publisher from Gull Lake, Saskatchewan. He works with Durvile & UpRoute Books to publish several books a year while also running the Lyceum Theatre. The most recent book published by his team, was Chasia’s Enchantment written by Hilda Chasia Smith.

Pat Brososky, a retired teacher from Swift Current, began writing memoirs to share childhood memories with her family. As a way to relive her travel adventures, she’s currently writing about some of her memorable experiences around the world. She says, “Writing is a challenging, rewarding hobby for me, and if someone enjoys the stories, that’s a bonus.”

For 30 years Jackie Cameron and her family lived on a farm near Waldeck where, in the later years, they raised beef cattle. Some of the stories written in her upcoming book Adventures on the Circle Star Ranch are based on incidents that happened on the farm. This book is written at a reading level for ages 7-10 but will be of interest to many ages.

Karlah Rudolph was raised south of Gull Lake. She achieved a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture at the U of S and a Masters of the Environment at the U of M. She works in range and watershed management and returned to full time farming in 2017. Creative writing, including poetry, is a life-line of expression for her on the complex issues of decolonization, food production, rural-settler society and the survival of grassland ecologies.

Nicole Jones works with the magazine website, the Kindersley Social. She regularly writes feature articles and contributes to their Book Club section. Nicole also writes short stories, many of which have been published in literary magazines, and she’s had some of her work published in a short story anthology. Currently, she’s working on her first fiction novel.

Until the Lyric is open for performances, WOL presenters may be accessed on and following their scheduled dates through the theatre’s Facebook page or at “Lyric Digital Stage Write Out Loud” on YouTube.
