Tammy Hampel, founding Artistic Director since 2020, has begun her new role as Manager for the Sointula Museum. 

“We would like to thank her for her years of dedication and wish her well in this new position,” said Marley Rosgen, who has been appointed the new Artistic Director for Sisu Theatre. 

“I’m delighted to be passing the reins over to Marley,” says Tammy. 

“Marley has the passion, creative muscles and practical skills to continue to build the theatre company. I look forward to being in the audience for wherever she takes us!”

In 2023 Marley starred in ‘No Wonder!’ a play written by the founder of Sointula, Matti Kurikka. She then joined the Board of Directors and continued to act in their next two productions. 

In 2025 she was the Assistant Director for ‘Sointula History Plays: Part 1’ by Hampel.

“Our first production for 2026 will be a presentation in early May. We are thrilled to present John Gogo with his engaging one-man show ‘The Coal & Wood Show’. 

Haunting folk tales told by four generations of a Vancouver Island pioneer family, offering a fascinating look beneath the surface of history unfolded from 1895 to 1995.  Join us in the Athletic Hall on May 8 for musical storytelling.

“Our fall production will be a re-visioning of ‘It’s a Wonderful Life - A Live Radio Play’ by Joe Landry. A holiday treasure will come to life on Dec. 11 and 12 in the Athletic Hall. This production will be directed by long-time associate of Sisu Theatre, Darryl Luscombe, marking his directorial debut.”
