Debbie Sands
~ A Moth to a Flame
Debbie Sands was born in London, England and immigrated to Canada with her parents when she was seventeen. She attended Trinity College at the University of Toronto, and emerged with a degree in French and English. In 1980, she moved to Okotoks, Alberta where her family was involved in a Chiropractic business. Inspired by her daughter, Amy, she got involved in amateur theatre and still pursues it as a hobby. Debbie has written a book entitled, A Moth to the Flame; it's the true story of Amy’s Struggle with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Tragically in 2012, they lost Amy to murder. Debbie has donated over $10,000 from proceeds of the book to the McMan Youth Centre in Okotoks, which has a program for street kids with BPD.

Her ability to listen and transform a story to different art mediums is second-to-none, making her a highly sought-after director/producer in Alberta. She is the Winner of ‘Best Director’ and ‘Best Actress’ at the ‘Alberta One Act Festival’ (2009) for her production of Graceland. Wanda continues to be a pioneer for female directors across the country.
