Free My Muse Theatre Company

Carrie Pengilly has had theatre in her life for as long as she can remember, from playing pretend with her creative and talented mother, to making up plays with her grandmother, to writing and directing her first play in grade three. Blessed to have a very supportive family, Carrie joined a theatre school and knew very early that teaching and directing theatre – in her own theatre school – was her dream.Years later, after working with professional theatre companies in Alberta and Saskatchewan as actor, director and writer, after majoring in Drama Education at the University of Lethbridge, after teaching through the Conservatory of Performing Arts at the Lethbridge Community College, after performing in Theatrework’s Shakespeare in the Park and New West Theatre, after creating the ACT3 Theatre Company, and after moving to Saskatchewan….Carrie created Free My Muse Theatre Company in Yorkton in 2005. Through her Saskatchewan and Alberta ties, Carrie teaches and adjudicates, directs and creates, writes and acts and lives her dream of starting a theatre studio every day. Carrie feels blessed to share all of this with her partner, Jared, their son, Cooper and her entire family. By the year 2047, Carrie will have been teaching and directing for 50 years.
