She joined the National Ballet of Canada for two seasons, turning to acting in the mid-1960s.

After that show's production run ended in 1971, she became a director and choreographer in musical theatre,[2] with only one further television role, in a 1992 episode of Street Legal.

Her directorial credits included both Toronto and national touring productions of musicals such as Dancing in the Dark,[3] Rose Is a Rose,[4] Mame,[5] Oklahoma!,[6] My Fair Lady,[7] Guys and Dolls[8] and I Do! I Do!.[9] She served as artistic director of the Kawartha Summer Theatre in Kawartha Lakes in the 1990s;[6] in 1997 she returned to the Charlottetown Festival to direct productions of both Johnny Belinda and Anne of Green Gables - The Musical.[10]
