Sally Clark Fonds (University of Guelph)

Clark has also made a mark for herself in film. Her adaptation of the 1983 play Ten Ways to Abuse an Old Woman won the Special Prix du Jury at the Henri Langlois International Short Film Festival, while The Art of Conversation was awarded the Bronze Award for Best Dramatic Short at the 1993 Worldfest Charleston Festival.

She has served as a playwright-in-residence at Theatre Passe Muraille, the Shaw Festival, Nakai Theatre, Nightwood Theatre, and the University of Victoria.

Over the course of her career Sally Clark has worked as a painter, filmmaker, and playwright. Born in Vancouver in 1953, her work has focused primarily on the complexities of human interactions with strong female characters at the centre of that focus. Clark has authored a variety of plays including Jehanne of the Witches (1989), Life Without Instruction (1991), Saint Frances of Hollywood (1996), and WASPs (1996). Perhaps best known for Moo, which won the Floyd S. Chalmers Canadian Play Award in 1990, Clark's work has been nominated for two Dora Mavor Moore Awards as well as a Governor Genera's Award.
