‍

‍BIO:

Brooklyn McDougall is a multi-media artist from Calgary, and a 2022 Olympian in long track speed skating. As she trains toward the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, her art practice offers both a grounding counterbalance to the demands of elite sport and a way of financially supporting her Olympic journey.

In addition to her Olympic speed skating career, Brooklyn was one of six Olympians selected as a 2024 Paris Olympian Artist. She was commissioned by the Olympic Museum to create three pieces, which were displayed during the Paris 2024 Summer Games. Today, her artwork has found a permanent home at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Art and sport have been constant threads throughout Brooklyn’s life. Growing up surrounded by creativity, she drew early inspiration from her grandparents – her grandmother’s delicate floral watercolours and her grandfather’s expressive portraits. Over time, her own style has naturally evolved as a fusion of those influences, shaped further by her deep connection to nature and biology. 

For Brooklyn, creating art is a sacred act. Each piece is a quiet conversation with the memory of her grandparents, a way of honoring their legacy and keeping their spirit alive through her work. Whether on ice or canvas, she is guided by a sense of purpose, discipline, and passion.

Christmas magic comes to life when elderly Kris Kringle steps in as Macy’s Santa Claus, insisting he’s the genuine article. With warmth and kindness, Kris rekindles a sense of childlike wonder in even the most skeptical hearts, especially young Susan and her no-nonsense mother. When his sanity is questioned, Kris finds himself at the centre of a courtroom battle where he must prove that believing in the impossible is where miracles begin.

“Scrooge?  I have to redeem old Scrooge? The one man I knew who was worse than I was?  Impossible!”

‍

When arriving at the eternal counting house, miser Jacob Marley signs a contract that reads “…on effecting a Total and Complete Change of Heart on the said subject, Mr. E. Scrooge…all Debts shall be forgiven, all Bonds Broken and you shall be Freed to Seek your Greater Joy.”  

‍

And so begins Jacob Marley’s journey to redeem the life of Scrooge in A Christmas Carol.  

‍

This re-telling of the classic Dickens's story, old Marley plays a hand in softening Scrooge and at the same time waking himself to the expansive, loving heart he could have shared while on earth.

‍

This exciting and hopeful play that reminds us that all things can be made new and our greatest strength is in our connection to others.

‍

^{Dick and Lois Haskayne warmly invite you to an evening of celebration and generosity in support of Heritage Park and Rosebud Theatre & School of the Arts.}

"The discovery weekend was an opportunity to get immersed in the school and discover if I was ready for this stage in my life. I found it to be an exciting opportunity to meet instructors and students. It made me comfortable for classes in the fall and it helped shape my decision to attend Rosebud School of the Arts." (Bethany - Rosebud graduate)

Applicants usually settle into accommodation on Thursday afternoon and leave Sunday afternoon. The weekend is filled with various activities designed to give ample opportunity to discover Rosebud and to meet the staff and students. Applicants are scheduled to observe classes - for example: choir, acting, art - as they are offered, and they will attend a dinner and theatre performance. Applicants may be asked to assist with the daily tasks of a working dinner and theatre, such as serving patrons or washing dishes. An interview and talent assessment rounds out the weekend. A complete schedule of activities will be given to you upon arrival in Rosebud.

Many online sources can help you find a monologue or you can reach out to us and we can make some suggestions.The song will be sung a cappella (without accompaniment) or you may accompany yourself if you wish. No musical accompaniment is provided.The talent assessment is not an audition. It is an opportunity to express your artistic abilities and for the panel to see where you are at in your journey as a performer. It will be a safe and friendly atmosphere shared with other potential students and two staff members.
