Carrie Schiffler is an actor who writes and a writer who acts. Sometimes the two talents merge resulting in a one woman show, most notably, Tabitha A Girl and Her Box, produced by Ground Zero Theatre in Calgary, Alberta. She also received an honourable mention for 'Lemon Opera' in Lorian Hemingway's short story contest 2016. Her first collection of poetry, Umbilicus is a meditation on the sensuous and includes images by her daugher, international artist Johanna Stickland.
