M.L. entertainer remembers local roots while touring nationally
Life is moving fast for Dakota-Ray Hebert. The local actress recently signed on to three major theatre productions across Canada and even though she’s making waves nationally, she still credits her roots in Meadow Lake.
“Meadow Lake is home, it’s where my roots are, where my heart is,” the 24-year-old Dene woman said in a phone interview.
She was recently cast in a touring performance called Canada, It’s Complicated, led by Mary Walsh of This Hour Has 22 Minutes fame. Over the winter, she will be a part of Mistatim, produced by Red Sky Performance, which will travel through British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario. In March of next year, she will reprise her role in Salt Baby in Victoria, British Columbia.
Despite her growth in the entertainment world, Hebert regularly makes it back to Meadow Lake where she got her start.
