TECHNICAL DIRECTOR

James is an eclectic jack-of-all-trades whose curiosity knows no bounds. While he has a relatively modest background in theatre, his love of learning has kept him busy picking up new skills. Among other things, he's led trail rides on a guest ranch; sailed the coast of BC; coached numerous sports at varying levels; and worked as a software developer, robotics engineer, signage fabricator, accountant, realtor, and day care worker. He has even been known to cook a 12 course meal just for the fun of it. He is very pleased to find this outlet for his multi-faceted skill set.

DIRECTOR OF MARKETING

Jordan signed up for theatre school because she wanted to have a job that would be ever changing, with each show presenting its own unique challenges so she would never get bored. Now, she is drawn to theatre for its special brand of magic in the creation and immersion of the world of a show. While she isn't shy of performing, she prefers to support shows backstage. You may have seen her prop Jellyfish in Little Dipper's Wild Light, her impressionist umbrellas in Our Town, or her coffee and scones in the realistic kitchen of Common Grace.

LEAD TECHNICIAN

Steve’s creative journey began in high school, where he practically lived at the theatre—first as a teacher’s assistant, then as an actor, and eventually a director. That early passion for storytelling and stagecraft evolved into a 20-year career behind the scenes, working in various roles in lighting equipment rentals for film, television, concerts, trade shows, theatrical lighting and corporate events. A lifelong music enthusiast, Steve has performed live in bands, spun sets as a DJ, and produced original tracks—always chasing the pulse of creative expression. You will have seen his lighting design in Little Dipper’s Common Grace.
