Someplace Between Pancakes and Eucalyptus
Someplace Between Pancakes and Eucalyptus was a play written by Tessa, that was dramaturged, workshopped and performed with the 2021 entry MA cohort of The Centre for Drama Theatre and Performance Studies at The University of Toronto. This play was an intensified focus into Thunder Bay Ontario, and followed the story of the once Finlandia and Hoito restaurant. Experimenting with verbatim theatre and Tessa's own finnish heritage, this play used Facebook comments from the Thunder Bay community to create the narrative of this historical place through the animated digital voices.

Tessa's MA thesis project explored rurality, place and crisis when considering theatre in isolated and marginalized places in Canada. Her research revealed a new call for discourse surrounding ways to approach theatre making in academia by calling for a more holistic approach to regional specific theatre.
