Noyes, Joanna
Magnificent Quebec -based actor who has worked non-stop for over 30 years.
She has performed in film, radio and television as well as at all the anglophone houses in Montreal. At the Saidye Bronfman Centre she stole the show away from the leads in Passion Play (1994) simply by using an evident crackling wit and focus.
She was brilliant as the mother of the family in Elliot Hayes ' Homeward Bound (1995) for Bulldog Theatre . In Centaur Theatre 's productions of James W. Nichol 's adaptation of Margaret Laurence's Stone Angel (adapted by James W. Nichol ) (1995) and Joanna McClelland Glass ' If We Are Women (1996), she was a solid presence. She has also appeared in Tony Kushner's Angels In America, also at Centaur and, more recently, in The Crucible, directed by Gordon McCall (January, 2000).
Ms Noyes lives with her husband, Yves Saint Pierre, an English literature professor, and has a daughter from a previous marriage, actor Jessica Steen.
