MEET BILLY MARCHENSKI

Storyteller, Lost Souls of Gastown Tour

Billy Marchenski has been a professional theatre maker, actor, and contemporary dancer in Vancouver for the last 25 years. A graduate of the School for the Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University, his career also includes five years with Kokoro Dance and three seasons with Bard on the Beach.

He’s a past winner of the Sydney J. Rysk prize for his original play, slowpoke, about his visit to the Chernobyl Exclusion zone in 2011. He’s also a dad. Billy’s interest in the Lost Souls of Gastown comes from his desire to acknowledge and remember the stories that have shaped, and continue to influence the place we call home. You’ll be seeing Billy on the streets leading the Lost Souls of Gastown Tour!
