Muriel Gold has long promoted and shared the joy and power of the theatre. As the artistic director of the Saidye Bronfman Centre, she stimulated both artistic and fiscal growth. With a view that drama can serve as a bridge between cultures, she was a pioneer in introducing French-Canadian plays to anglophone audiences, and brought a resident Yiddish theatre company to the Centre. As a university educator, she developed her influential Fictional Family technique that fosters both acting skills and personal development. In addition, she is the author of several books on drama and theatre.
