One-Woman Comedy Show

During her college years, Angela performed in various plays, receiving the Best Actress award in 1969, and also a scholarship to attend the National Theatre of the Deaf Summer School in Waterford, Connecticut. She later became a teacher, which presented the opportunity to direct numerous school plays and variety shows. At the same time, she was involved in several variety shows organized by the deaf community. She subsequently founded a troupe called Silent Shadows, which remained active from 1972 to 1978. Due to family commitments, Angela took a bit of a break from theatrical pursuits, returning to the stage in 1987. In 1991 for the World Winter Games for the Deaf in Banff, Alberta, Angela directed a show called "Across Canada in 91 Minutes" - a delightful version of Buster Keaton's Railroader.

Since 1995, Angela has presented her "one-woman comedy show" in major cities throughout Canada as well as the United States. She had also performed in Duo Comedy Shows with Bob Whitford of Edmonton, Alberta for two years.Bob Whitford was well known throughout the deaf community for his impersonations of such characters as Jerry Lewis, Red Skelton, Charlie Chaplin, Mr. Bean, John Diefenbaker, among others, including local deaf people. Not surprisingly, he was often referred to as the "Jim Carrey" of the deaf world. In 1976, he won awards from both the Alberta Cultural Society of the Deaf and the Canadian Cultural Society of the Deaf for outstanding performances. In 1998, he was invited to perform in Saskatoon, Calgary, Edmonton, and also at a major event called Deaf Expo in Los Angeles, California.

The show has been extremely popular with deaf audiences because of its brilliant satire on non-deaf people. Angela also shares insightful and humorous anecdotes from her observations of deaf people themselves, stories with which deaf people can easily relate. The show is open and full of laughs for hearing people as well. Angela's "one-woman comedy show" is now in such great demand.
