August Elzinga (they/them) is excited (and sweating profusely) about being back with GVSF! They are a graduate of the Canadian College of Performing Arts’ ‘Company C’ program and received their Bachelor of Performing Arts from Capilano University. A poet, playwright, drag artist, lover of puppets and yearning, they’ll do anything for a tub of clown white lite. A special thank you to Willow and SJ for putting up with me. @august_isover @bromleywithab
(I love you to the stars and beyond).

Lincoln (Link) Bechtold is an upcoming actor, playwright, and general goof from the Treaty 7 region of Alberta. His performance credits include: Static (Timetheft Theatre, Dead Horse Theatre), Corpus: Alive Art Exhibition (Timetheft Theatre); I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change (Langham Court Theatre); and A Midsummer Nightmare (Greater Victoria Shakespeare Festival). Link directed their show Tiresias (Anywhere/Nowhere Creations, Pithy Productions) in 2025, and is currently writing a play about a man who falls in love with the Sea. In his spare time, Link enjoys bouldering, drawing, and playing Dungeons & Dragons.

Gene Sargent is an actor, writer, and musician from Victoria BC. He is a total nerd in a dozen ways, and overall just happy to be here.

Levi Jennings- An actor named Flute, played by a Levi that’s cute. You’ll certainly hoot, and holler, to boot!
