Other:
Ellora Patnaik is a Toronto-born actress. Ellora grew up a dancer and specializes in Odissi classical (Indian) dance. She first trained under her mother, Chitralekha Patnaik, and was later hand-picked by the head of the Orissa Dance Academy to continue her studies in India. A professional dancer from her early teens, she quickly became one of the most notable Odissi dancers of her generation with hundreds of performances and more than a dozen choreographies to her name. Upon returning to Canada, she was accepted at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts (NYC), where she was company member in her graduating year. Recent film and TV projects include Sort Of (for which she was nominated for a CSA award), Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Calorie, One Small Visit, Kim’s Convenience, Ginny & Georgia and Schitt’s Creek. Her on-screen successes in no way detracted from her love of stage, however: Ellora has performed in a diverse array of theatre productions, including A Christmas Carol, Standing On My Knees, Nagamandala, Umrao Jaan Ada, The Penelopiad, Romeo and Juliet, Acha Bacha, Her2, Much Ado About Nothing, and Free Outgoing. She has performed as a voice artist for several audio books, plays and video games. Ellora is friend and ally of all animals, always and everywhere.

Terrance has been acting and singing (and acting like he's singing) for 40+ years all over the Maritimes. Having only once been on the HAT stage (because he went through the wrong door and ended up backstage during a mic check for Funny Girl) he is absolutely tickled to have Crones as his first actual play for The HAT!
