PROGRAM LEADER BIOS:

Alberta Robinet has always had a flair for the dramatic arts. She loves to be on stage. While living in Toronto she fell in love with improv and sketch comedy. Since moving to Huntsville, Alberta has performed on many occasions with the HfA. Alberta is also a playwright, and has directed plays starring youth in the Muskoka community while working at Tawingo. She teachers Outdoor Kindergarten and art at Muskoka Highlands Academy. This will be Alberta’s fourth year hosting T-PAN and she can’t wait to do it again!

Tim Lucier’s roots in the performing arts began in North Bay’s TOROS and Arts Nipissing programs, where he gained a strong appreciation for youth arts programming (and a lifelong passion for music, theatre, and dance). Tim now plans & facilitates transformational leadership retreats in Algonquin Park. He’s also a yoga teacher, decluttering coach, and has coordinated and led many experiential student-based trips to Cuba and the Dominican Republic. Tim aims to “Live simply and explore with curiosity.” You may have seen him as ‘Sky’ in HfA’s 2019 production of Mamma Mia.


Sarah Vanasse has returned home to Huntsville this year after living and teaching in Halifax, NS. Sarah is an educator, artist, photographer, actor, and musician. She has directed and performed in many amateur and professional theatre productions across Canada, including 5 HfA musicals. Sarah is excited to be back and to get involved in the Huntsville community again! She works at Tawingo running both camp and outdoor education programs. We’re excited to have her back at T-PAN!
