The Fairest of the all by Senn Gelinas ​

Recently, Senn had the exciting opportunity to present her original work at Factory Theatre in Toronto, and hopes to release this EP as of 2026! While her 'college' door closes (and, regretfully, her access to the oh-so convenient campus facilities), another door opens in Ireland where she will continue to pursue her creative endeavors!
