Canadian Improv Showcase

Dana Fradkin

Dana discovered acting as a young adolescent when the hatred towards her of other school kids drove her to Canterbury, the high school of Performing Arts, at the other end of Ottawa. Knowing nothing of drama, she strolled in with an eager mind and fell instantly in love. Although calculus has always been her number 1 talent, sitting in front of a desk all day doing long division just didn't get her blood boiling. So she committed herself whole heartedly to acting and has never looked back.

Dana moved to Toronto 7 years ago, graduated from George Brown Theatre School and has spent the last 4 years working in Toronto, the United States and Europe. She has worked with such companies as; the Second City, Mad Science Productions, Stage West Dinner Theatre, Shrimp Magnet, Shakespeare in the Square, and The Renaissance Festival.

Recently, Dana decided to forget this "classical theatre" thing and ran away and joined the circus (literally). She spent 6 months living on a Tallship performing circus political theatre with the Caravan Stage Company and sailing throughout the American and European harbours.

Dana has loved returning to improvisation and is also currently working on a show with her mother, Barbara Fradkin, the award winning murder mystery writer. She spends a lot of her time prancing around trade shows as the famous Korean Princess promoting the Korean culture and food. Kam sa mi da (Thank you). This one's for you Dad!
