VICKI RIVARD
The Perfect Marriage
At the age of three, Vicki Rivard became obsessed with Michael Jackson’s Thriller video and made a point of performing it -again and again- to the delight (she hopes) of family and friends. That was the beginning...
She is a graduate of Queen’s University’s Stage & Screen Studies Program and has appeared in numerous theatre and film productions, including a role in the feature film Iodine (The Dot Film Company). She is also an avid writer, traveller, and teacher. This is her first summer in the city and she is delighted to be a part of the Fringe.

Vicki dedicates her performance to her Aunt Shirley, who taught her about the meaning of courage, the power of laughter, and the resilience of the human spirit.

"I love you."
