Trisha Li is currently a fourth year Theatre Performance student at SFU, and hopes to continue acting after graduation. Her love for the performing arts began at the age of 11, when her mom registered her for drama classes at Carousel Theatre to help bring her out of her shell. Despite the fact that Trisha was always the shy quiet Asian girl in the class, her love for acting grew as it became an avenue of expression and imagination. As a teenager, she was acting both inside and outside of her high school, with Vancouver Youth Theatre and Lindbjerg Academy of Performing Arts. Presently, Trisha is interning at Playwrights Theatre Centre and is working alongside the PTC team in making their Unscripted series come alive.

Primarily a film and television actor, Kacey is thrilled to be back in the place where it all began– the theatre! She was quoting Shakespeare at 4 and had a director for a father and a playwright for a mother, so the deck was kind of stacked as they say! A breakout role on AMC’s THE KILLING, working with Catherine Hardwicke’s in RED RIDING HOOD, and a comedic turn in the Canadian/ American co-pro sitcom WORKING THE ENGELS are among the standout roles in Rohl’s young career. She’s currently dividing her time between Los Angeles, Vancouver and Toronto, where she’s shooting season 3 of Bryan Fuller’s series HANNIBAL for NBC. She’s excited to be working with such a stellar group of young actors & would like to thank BoucheWHACKED! and Heidi Taylor for the stellar opportunity.
