Paige Francoeur (she/they) is a multidisciplinary artist, theatre rat, and proud Prairie creative. She is a graduate of the University of Saskatchewan's Bachelor of Fine Arts Acting Program (2021, with High Honours), and also holds a Wîcêhtowin Certificate in Aboriginal Theatre and a Minor in English Literature. Paige is a recipient of the 2022/23 SATAward for Outstanding Emerging Artist. Primarily, they work as a performer, playwright, and producer in the world of independent theatre.

A self-described somnambulist and compulsive art-maker, Paige’s personal body of work delves deeply into dreams, memory, and the personal relationship with mental illness as it relates to the construction of the self. She leans toward the surreal and macabre and seeks to create avenues of expression through performance in order to articulate experiences of neurodiversity and queerness.

From earliest memory, Paige has always been obsessed with disappearing into the different worlds that could be discovered through storytelling, whether they came in the form of books, film, video games, or theatre. Her goal in life is to be able to tell stories that will find homes in the hearts of others in the same way that all of her favorite stories found a place within hers.

In late 2021, Paige, along with frequent collaborator Katelyn Polischuk, formed a collaborative partnership called The Hagstone Collective. This company serves as a producing umbrella for their joint classical theatre adaptations as well as original scripts.

Since 2024, they have been serving as Artistic Associate for SUM Theatre, an independent Saskatchewan Theatre company known for creating new works that focuses on providing free, accessible art, as well as building community.

For film and television work, they are represented by Lisa Marie Schwartz at Edge Agency.
