BEYOND THE CURTAINS

LINDSEY C.

LEADER & TEAM PLAYER

Hey everyone, I'm Lindsey C., and I'm thrilled to share how DramaWay Productions is about empowerment, inclusion, and community. I've been a part of DramaWay for an incredible 17 years! DramaWay has given me a lot of confidence to be on stage in front of lots of people, like when I dance my heart out  in our Dance Showcases. As you’ll see, I have a really busy schedule but I always make time for my DramaWay classes!

Since joining DramaWay, I've seen a lot of personal growth in myself. I attend all my activities independently, using the TTC to get around the city. This skill was nurtured in the earlier years by traveling to and from Swansea Town Hall to attend both Drama and Dance classes. I've also kept up friendships with many participants and socialized with them outside of the DramaWay programs, which has been such a joyful part of my life.

I'm incredibly grateful for everything DramaWay has done for me, and I'm proud to be part of such an inspiring and transformative community.

DramaWay has given me self-confidence in my abilities, which has allowed me to take on leadership roles in different community organizations. It's provided me with lots of opportunities for social interaction and teamwork, and both have been so important in both my personal and professional life. Whether it's public speaking, teamwork, or communication, DramaWay has equipped me with the tools I need to succeed in all aspects of my life.

I work at Starbucks at Sick Kids Hospital and Lil' E Coffee Cafe, where I get to interact with people from all walks of life. I also volunteer weekly at Lake Shore Lodge Long Term Care Home, where I help manage their gift shop. I attended Humber College in both the CICE program and the Culinary Arts program, which has helped me develop valuable skills for my career. Also, I serve as the director of the VIPs for the Halton Down Syndrome Association, where I advocate for the rights and inclusion of individuals with Down Syndrome.
