Director
Douglas (Dougie) Walker
Dougie is looking to build on the success of his first season with the Highlands Summer Festival as the Artistic Producer. After the hilarious absurdity of Urinetown, Douglas is following up with a more classic tale, Anne Of Green Gables. This season builds on his history with the festival, which includes a moving performance in Every Brilliant Thing and his directorial debut with the rollicking 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. His creative talents extend beyond directing and producing, though. Douglas has also showcased his writing and performing chops in Candid Cabaret with R.C.S., and his choreography has been featured in The Rink at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum at the Highlands Summer Festival. On stage, Douglas has toured extensively across Canada and beyond, appearing in popular productions like Jersey Boys, Mamma Mia, and The Soul Of Motown (Stage West), as well as Avenue Q on its UK National Tour. He has also performed in The Voice of the Turtle and Affairs of State (Classic Theatre Festival), Miracle on 34th Street (Pitlochry Festival Theatre), and even Scooby Doo Live: The Mystery of the Pyramid (UK National Tour, Warner Bros.). His theatrical journey has taken him across the globe, including performances with The Tenors (Netherlands Tour) and Sesame Street (Universal Studios Japan). Beyond the stage, Douglas has appeared in several television productions, including Frankie Drake Mysteries (CBC), A Christmas Exchange (Lifetime), In The Dark (The CW), Jazz Ramsay: A K9 Mystery (Hallmark), and Rabbit Hole (Paramount). He has also lent his voice to Hyperscape (Ubisoft) and the audiobook Unrest by Gwen Tuinman (Penguin Random House). As he steps into the exciting role of Artistic Producer, Douglas is dedicated to fostering artistic excellence, innovation, and community engagement at the Highlands Summer Festival.
