​​​Candy Roberts is a Canadian theatre artist and fifth-generation European-Canadian settler, residing on the Unceded Territories of the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Səlílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), and xwməθkwəyəm (Musqueam) Nations, also known as Vancouver, BC.

​

Her innovative works blend physical theatre, music, and clowning to dive into the complexities and absurdities of the human condition.

​

​Candy tours extensively, nationally and internationally with her critically acclaimed solo productions, including LARRY, a bold and provocative gender-bending feminist comedy; IDEAS BOBERT, a whimsical family production in the tradition of silent film; and OOPSIE, a physical comedy exploring the art of failure.

​

In addition to her solo work, Candy is the Band Leader of the Myrtle Sisters as well as the Artistic Director of Candy Bones Theatre, a Theatre for Young Audiences company renowned for its immersive and original productions that captivate children and families alike.

​

For Candy, creativity is more than a practice—it is a way of life. In addition to her artistic endeavours, she is a Certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Creative Coach, supporting individuals to listen to and be present with the stories held within their nervous systems.

In recognition of her exceptional contributions to community building through the arts, she was honoured with the Mayor’s Arts Award in 2014.
