Anne-Marie is a Toronto-based Dora nominated actor, singer, dancer, writer and laugher. She most recently finished working on The Stratford Festival's Forum Series, Encountering Ukraine: Readings in Solidarity as the Assistant Dramaturge.
She's grateful to have received recognition for her writing.
Anne-Marie's short film The Perfect Cup won BEST SHORT SCREENPLAY at the Hawaii International Film Awards, as well as BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY at the Melbourne Independent Film Festival. Her short story, The Anchor, came in 8th place in its category, in the 2022 NYC Midnight 250-word Microfiction Challenge. Another of Anne-Marie's short stories, Happy Birthday, Pearl! was announced as an honourable mention in the Firecracker Writing Department's 2022 Short Story Challenge.
In 2021, Anne-Marie had the opportunity to work with the Guild Festival Theatre in their Dora nominated production of Alice in Wonderland. In addition to being nominated for seven Dora awards including Outstanding Production and Outstanding Ensemble, the production received the 2022 Jon Kaplan Audience Choice Award..
Anne-Marie has done a variety of voice overs across Canada. As the Ukrainian voice of Elections Canada, she has voiced multiple television and radio commercial campaigns. She has also performed in multiple plays, musicals, readings, and improv sets, locally in Toronto. Anne-Marie coaches dialect and has been on multiple international tours, performing Ukrainian dance. Counting Sheep, a production where she was an original cast member, went on to win the Dora award for Outstanding Ensemble in the Musical Theatre Division. The first published play listing her as an original cast member was Linda McCready's The Living Library.
Anne-Marie is the creative force behind @AMKdoesAMK on Instagram, singing a cappella mash-ups of musical theatre songs. She is also writing away and has shared a weekly #MondayMonologue on her Instagram stories (@itsannemariek) since November 2020.
As a child, she was quiet and polite in public places...apart from occasional standing on restaurant booths and singing at the top of her lungs. Anne-Marie was recently told that fellow restaurant patrons applauded at the end of those “performances”, so maybe that’s when it all began.

Thank you to everyone who attended Encountering Ukraine: Readings in Solidarity. Working on this series was one of the most fulfilling projects I've ever had the pleasure of working on.
Thank you to the Stratford Festival, and Andrew Kushnir, for bringing me onboard the team as the Assistant Dramaturge. To say it was an honour is an understatement.
In 2022, I received my certificate in Film and TV Industry Essentials from NYU Tisch School of the Arts. While in the program, I created the short film, The Perfect Cup.
I am ecstatic to announce that in June 2023, The Perfect Cup won the award for BEST SHORT SCREENPLAY at the Hawaii International Film Awards.
The Perfect Cup also won the award for BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY at the Melbourne Independent Film Festival.
The film also placed as a Finalist at the Independent Shorts Awards and a Semi-Finalist at the New York International Women Festival, and Paris Women Festival.
It is an honour to receive this recognition.
