Linda Wood Edwards.
Linda has been writing plays since her monumental trip to the Yukon in 1997, although she didn’t actually produce one until 2005. She has written more since then and has done productions in exotic locales like Washington DC, Adelaide Australia, and Saskatchewan.
She has more plays in the hopper, including some of the 10-minute variety. In her other company, LUE-42 Enterprises, Linda consults to boards on governance and writes a ton of bylaws and policies. Whenever she gets a pressing need to use adjectives, she writes a play.
Linda also helps her friends with their plays, serves on various boards in the community, and is a devoted fan of the Canadian Football League. She believe in fairness and fun, and wants to help make this planet a great place to live.
