“The Atomic Vaudevillians include Karen Brelsford…in the middle of a two- year diploma program at New York’s American Academy of Dramatic Arts.”

“Brelsford took a master’s degree in science at the University of Victoria before getting hooked on theatre. She’d specialized in dendrochronology, that is, the dating of past events through the study of tree rings. Although she found work in her area with the government, Brelsford felt her creativity was stifled. Her career path changed after a friend invited her to join Throw Us a Line five years ago.”
