Jesse Wilson (he/him)

How did you get involved in RTS?

I joined Berlin Blues by Drew Hayden Taylor back in 2023, and have been a part of the summer tour ever since

How long have you been in theatre/performing/on stage?

I started performing in high school, continued while at VIU taking theatre and creative writing, and have been performing all over the island since 2016.

What is your favorite pre-show habit?

Slight personal warm ups, tongue twisters, water

Why should someone come out and support RTS?

RTS is a great supporter of all the arts in general, and I love putting a spotlight on voices and cultures that don't necessarily get the representation they deserve

Bonus question: Why should someone come out and see Women of the Fur Trade?

While it tells the real history of Canada through a highly satirical lens, it also gives a lot of power to women, our talented artists and the women of Colonial Canada
