Artists
Manon has led a bilingual career since graduating from the Acting Program of the National Theatre School. Whether in classical or contemporary pieces, she’s collaborated with companies across the country, specifically in Toronto (Canadian Stage, Festival of Classics, Theatre Direct, Pleiades), Montreal (Denise-Pelletier, Centaur, Segal Centre, Usine C) and Sudbury (Sudbury Theatre Centre, Théâtre du Nouvel-Ontario). In Ottawa, she’s performed for French and English Theatre at the NAC, Great Canadian Theatre Company (GCTC), Arts Court, Théâtre Catapulte, Rouge Écarlate, and Créations InVivo. She’s hosted concerts with the NAC Orchestra, the Governor General’s Performing Arts Awards Gala, and several corporate events across the country. Her work on-camera includes dramatic and comedic parts in film, television, commercials, and various multimedia projects. Recent credits include Pour toi Flora (Radio-Canada), Eaux Turbulentes (ARTV and Radio-Canada), the feature Noël en boîte, and three seasons of the youth TV series Amélie et Compagnie.
Along with regular voice work, Manon has done extensive work in translating and adapting various artistic and educational projects. She’s translated plays and librettos and been on the script writing team of three youth TV series, most recently the third season of Gang de hockey (TFO). With her teaching experience at the University of Ottawa’s Theatre Department and coaching both student and professional actors alike, Manon is now transitioning into directing. She’s directed a couple of readings, a production of Aéroportée at the TNO, and assistant directed Benevolence with Eric Coates at the GCTC. She’s currently working alongside French actor Caroline Raynaud to develop a one-woman show. Its first incarnation was presented at the TNO in February 2024.
Tobi Hunt McCoy is enjoying another year as season Stage Manager with the National Arts Centre Orchestra. In past seasons, she stage-managed Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream with Christopher Plummer in 2001 and Colm Feore in 2014. She co-produced the 1940s Pops show On the Air with Jack Everly for the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, a show they co-produced in 2007 for the NAC Orchestra.
In 2018, McCoy made her Southam Hall acting debut in the role of Stage Manager in the Magic Circle Mime Co.’s production of Orchestra from Planet X. Additional professional duties have included aiding Susanna and the Countess in schooling the Count and Figaro on the finer points of marital love during The Marriage of Figaro, keeping her eyes open (for the first time ever) during the flying monkey scene in The Wizard of Oz, mistakenly asking Patrick Watson for proof of identity backstage, holding her breath while marvelling at the athletic ability of the cast during Cirque Goes Broadway, continuing to implement feedback on her British-Columbian French with the choruses of Ottawa, and cheering on Luke and Princess Leia with Charlie Ross, Émilie Fournier, and Eric Osner during the Star Wars Pops concert.
In her spare time, McCoy is the Head of Arts, Drama, English, and Library at Lisgar Collegiate Institute.
