Freestyle by Trevor Schmidt

The 4x4 relay team of the women's Swim Club at Eastglen High School discover that an athlete from a competing school is trans— a revelation that provokes heated debate and reveals cracks in their own team.


Directed by Alex Dawkins and read by Noori Gill, Jayce Mckenzie, Julia van Dam and Sydney Williams.


Trevor Schmidt has been the Artistic Director of Northern Light Theatre for the past 22 years, and involved with NLT for the past 31 years as a performer, director, designer, and playwright, as well as being a multiple Sterling award winner in performance, director and playwriting categories.


Last fall his one-woman Gothic thriller WE HAD A GIRL BEFORE YOU, in its American premiere, opened the season at the Greater Boston Stage Company. He has been awarded for Outstanding Choreography for 6.0: HOW HEAP AND PEBBLE TOOK ON THE WORLD AND WON at the Betty Mitchell Theatre Awards in Calgary, and the DIALOG Award for Excellence in Artistic Direction as part of the Mayor's Evening for the Arts in Edmonton. He was on the shortlist for the Gwen Pharis Ringwood Award for his libretto for TWO-HEADED/HALF-HEARTED, a musical he wrote with composer Kaeley Jade Wiebe. He was most recently honoured at the AMPIAs for Outstanding Performance in a Lead Role (Male or Non-Binary) for his work in the film ME & MR. Right, with Northern Gateway Productions.
