Anna Pontin grew up in Yellowknife and entered the Yellowknife Music Festival for many years, sang in the Yellowknife Youth Choir, starred as ‘Annie’ in the musical of that name produced by Ptarmigan Ptheatrics, as well as many other musical and theatrical productions since early childhood in Yellowknife. She studied singing with Susan Shantora and Claire Singer.
Anna has been selected as lead in a Musical (The Prom) in Vancouver this summer. She is taking English at University but is continuing with musical theatre on the side. Beverley Rockwell, another YKMF alumni, coached her for the audition over Christmas.
