Look Who’s Keeping the Company Company
April 22, 2020


While practicing social distancing and self-isolation at home, some of the company’s dancers and orchestra members are spending quality time with their furry friends. Find out who is keeping the company company. 

Principal Dancer Skylar Campbell and Corps de Ballet member Jaclyn Oakley have been spending their days with their Australian Shepard, Cora, who never shies from a family selfie. 

Music Director and Principal Conductor David Briskin is spending lots of time with his furry pal Cookie and, as the name suggests, Cookie is happy to be spending more time with David as it means more treats!


Principal Dancer Brendan Saye and First Soloist Donald Thom are sharing their space with dogs Molly and Bruce, who will pose for any photo... if treats are involved.  

Corps de Ballet member Genevieve Penn Nabity and her dog Coda are inseparable. From morning stretches to evenings by the fire, Coda always makes sure he is by Genevieve’s side. 

Principal Character Artist Stephanie Hutchison always makes sure she gets a daily hug from her cat Musi. 

First Soloist Jack Bertinshaw and Corps de Ballet member Clare Peterson enjoy spending quality time with their dog Winston and cat Mila (who keeps her distance but is still the best company). 

Violinist Sonia Klimasko-Leheniuk spends her days with two beautiful Bengal cats, two-month-old Winston and 14-month-old Teddy (who goes by Theodore when he’s been naughty). You can follow their adventures on Instagram at @TeddyAndWinstonTheBengalBoys.
