Ross's play for high schools, The History of Manitoba from the Beginning of Time to the Present in 45 Minutes, toured the province five times and won the Prix Manitoba for service to all Manitobans. On screen, his work has earned a Blizzard Award for Guy Maddin's The Saddest Music in the World, and an ACTRA Award and a Canadian Screen Award nomination for HBO Canada's Less Than Kind.

Steven has been directed by Sarah Constible (Zoo Story, Last Man in Puntarenas, Julius Caesar), by Bill Kerr (Ashes to Ashes and his own Sonja and Richard), and by Ross McMillan (Measure for Measure, Troilus and Cressida, Blithe Spirit, and the Fringe version of Dionysus in Stony Mountain). He has acted alongside Sarah and Tracey Nepinak in Reservations, with Tracey in Antony and Cleopatra, and with Sarah in Blithe Spirit. As Artistic Director of Theatre Projects Manitoba, Ardith Boxall produced three of his plays, including Dionysus in Stony Mountain, and Bill has been dramaturge for most of his work.

With the ensemble Geräuschbiest, Jesse has created new oratorios and immersive performances rooted in rich storytelling and innovative acoustic textures, integrating homemade instruments and a range of choirs. His work explores the materiality of sound and voice, weaving sacred and folk traditions with experimental timbres to evoke emotional and cultural resonance.

For The Bloody Theatre, he is designing sound for a play inspired by the Martyrs Mirror, incorporating Dutch folk song alongside original sonic dramaturgy to deepen its historical and affective world.

Sarah has acted, written, directed, and composed for stages across the country and appeared in numerous films; she also directed a film adaptation of Steven Ratzlaff's Dionysus in Stony Mountain. Most recently she served as composer and music director for Shakespeare in the Ruins' As You Like It, directed by Michelle Boulet, and she is a founding member of the Fu Fu Chi Chi Choir, which released its first full-length album in spring 2026.

Tracey began her theatre training at Vancouver's Spirit Song Theatre School, completed a BA (Honours) in Theatre back home in Manitoba, and has worked professionally in theatres across the country since 1994. Recent stage credits include Little Women and The Comeback (Royal MTC), Rise Red River (Théâtre Cercle Molière / Prairie Theatre Exchange), and Yaga (Belfry Theatre).

As a director, Ardith has worked with Sarah Constible on The Monster Trilogy, Beautiful Man, and Lara Rae's Dragonfly, and directed Ross McMillan in Michael Healey's Proud — playing Stephen Harper — and in Prairie Nurse. As actors, she and Ross toured the Winnipeg and Edmonton Fringes with Harry Rintoul's delightful Between Then and Now, and rapped and rhymed together in Allan Stratton's Bag Babies. She and Steven Ratzlaff played the Winnipeg Fringe with Dale Lakevold's October/Octubre, and as Artistic Director of Theatre Projects Manitoba she worked with Tracey, Steven, Ross, Sarah, and Bill on many shows, workshops, and salons.
