Emily Dix is the Artistic Executive Director of Bygone Theatre, a position she has held since October 2012. In 2020 she won the Broadway World Toronto award for Best Director for her work on Bygone Theatre's production of The Rear Window.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

"(Dix has) also given the action (in Rope) a local flavour with mentions of Upper Canada College, Yonge St. and Rosedale. Most importantly, she generally keeps the tension taut: will someone discover what's in the trunk?"

— NOW Magazine, Jon Kaplan
