Braden Moore (he/Him/Il)
Braden Moore is the founder and Artistic Director of Luminaire Theatre Works, a company dedicated producing innovative, community-focused musical theatre. A passionate advocate for the transformative power of the arts, Braden has a long-standing history in the Saskatoon theatre community, performing in shows like Sweeney Todd, Footloose, and The Full Monty, while also excelling behind the scenes as a stage manager, production manager, and designer.
Braden’s love for theatre began in high school and was honed at the Canadian College of Performing Arts in Victoria, BC. His work reflects a deep commitment to inclusivity and mental health advocacy, shaped by his dual career as a 2SLGBTQ+-affirming, trauma-informed mental health counsellor and health sciences student placement consultant. When not immersed in theatrical pursuits, Braden can be found at home with his cat, Patrick, rolling dice in a heated combat of Dungeons and Dragons, or extolling the virtues of the Oxford comma.Under his leadership, Luminaire Theatre Works aims to create meaningful, challenging, and unconventional stories, fostering convention and creativity within the community.
