My name is Karie Richards.

I am a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans acting, producing, playwriting, voice, and solo performance. I have written three solo shows for the stage, which I have performed nationally and internationally. I have recorded the narration for three audiobooks for Biblioasis: THE FUTURE by Catherine Leroux, translated by Susan Ouriou, which has been selected for 2024 Canada Reads, BREAKING AND ENTERING by Don Gillmor, which has been long listed for the 2024 The Republic of Consciousness Prize, and THE MUSIC GAME by Stéfanie Clermont, translated by JC Sutcliffe. As a vocalist, I have recorded and performed with renowned Canadian pianist, arranger and producer, John Sheard. Before I began writing and performing, I enjoyed a career as an assistant sound editor and an assistant film editor on feature films, as well as giant-screen 70mm films for IMAX.  

I am currently developing my fourth play.
