The Gertrude Project, inspired by Hamlet and presented by The Freewill Shakespeare Festival, is a musical exploration of a mother who pieces together the contradictions, warnings, rumours and mistakes surrounding her relationship to her son to make sense of a tragedy. Directed by David Horak and read by Jocelyn Ahlf, Andrew Boyd, Cam Chapman and Megan Holt, with Michael Clark on piano.

Lauren Boyd (she/her) is an Edmonton based director, writer and performer. She has been involved in new musical development since 2017, and loves any opportunity to be involved in creating new work in Canada! Lauren was on the writing staff and development team for projects with Awen Entertainment and Northwood Entertainment and has trained as a sketch comedy writer and performer through the Second City Conservatory in Toronto and The Groundlings in Los Angeles. As a director, Lauren has had the opportunity to direct musicals like Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson (Canadian Premiere), Cabaret, Into the Woods (Ovation Productions Ottawa), Sondheim's The Frogs, Little Shop of Horrors (Fringe), and is directing Crybaby for Uniform Theatre in 2026.
Michael Clark has created music for more than a dozen original concert programs and five new musicals, with works performed across Canada and heard on radio. Notable credits include the world premiere of Once Upon a Frost (Composer, Writer, Director), arrangements and orchestrations for the award-winning Krampus, producing and composing And I'm Home: A Holiday Radioplay, and contributions to Broadway's Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn. His recent works have been performed by the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, Greenwood Singers, Edmonton Pops Orchestra, University of Alberta Summer Orchestra, and St. Albert Community Band. Michael is Music Director and Conductor with the Edmonton Philharmonic Orchestra and Artistic Director with the Edmonton Pops Orchestra.
