Parker Painchaud is 14 years old and his passion for theatre has grown over the last few years. He recently took to the stage in Theatre Calgary’s A Christmas Carol, 2023 as Peter Cratchit/Boy Scrooge, which was an amazing experience. Parker has been a part of CYPTs main stage shows, including playing Nicky/Mr.Weston in Someday, 2023, Walter/Thing in The Poison Squad, 2023, and Cesare in Real Boi, 2022. This past year, Parker wrote his first play- The Ghost of Who Knows What, and saw it come to the CYPT stage in his directorial debut, at Cannonball Festival 2024.  Parker is ecstatic to be back on stage performing in a very different Charles Dickens production, in this adaptation of The Frozen Deep.
