A Flare for the Dramatic

Jesse Collins is part of the Outreach Program at Community Living Renfrew County South. Jesse wanted to be in Drama.

Our Drama Troupe had three workshops provided by Lawrence Mahusky which began in July of 2014.
Between those first days and 2016 Jesse performed as one of the lead characters in the plays “Ladies First, The Housework Commercial, and Mortimer”, performing at places like the Renfrew Recreation Centre, Opeongo High School, the Grove in Arnprior, and at the Annual General Meeting for Community Living Renfrew County South.
The stage has been shared with Lawrence Mahusky and the Tamira Choir from Ottawa.

Jesse’s dream has been “more drama” so we tried to find ways for him to be more involved.
A group of us have been taking in the Stone Fence Theatre productions throughout the Ottawa Valley for several years now.
Stone Fence provided the opportunity for Jesse to volunteer at their shows throughout 2017.
He helped set up tables and clear them off after meals. He was a stage hand, sold tickets for 50-50 draws, and did whatever else was asked, with enthusiasm.

On November 22, 2017, Jesse auditioned for the 2018 Stone Fence Theatre production and got the part.
He is so excited and we are looking forward to seeing Jesse in Stone Fence Theatre productions in our community and around the Valley.

Kudos Jesse
