CONTRIBUTING MY VOICE

Hey everyone, I'm Madison, and I'm excited to share how DramaWay Productions has helped me develop more confidence, improve my speech, and given me a strong sense of belonging to a supportive community.

I've been a part of DramaWay for an incredible 15 years. I started way back with our Founder and Executive Director, Danielle Strnad when she ran her DramaWay Program at ErinoakKids. I have always loved attending her workshops, summer programs, events and of course our Theatre Mississauga program.

Since joining DramaWay, I've become more independent, confident, and capable of advocating for myself and others. DramaWay has not only helped me develop as a performer but has also empowered me to excel in all areas of my life. I exude confidence and have no fear of speaking in front of a group or crowd. But my siblings  might claim I was born a drama queen! I’m always ready for the camera and stage!

My communication and leadership skills have also greatly improved, thanks to the supportive environment at DramaWay. The skills I've learned at DramaWay have definitely helped to increase my community involvement. I participate in an adult program through Christian Horizons, where I recently had the honour of being selected to be on a panel. We meet regularly to discuss ways to enhance the program, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to contribute my voice.

I'm incredibly grateful for DramaWay and the positive impact it has had on me. I’ve made quite a few TV appearances through DramaWay, including doing a fashion show with Jessi Cruickshank on CBC “The Goods” as well as being featured by the award winning documentary series “Employable Me”. I’ve also secured paid modeling gigs as well as appeared in the book, “Body Positivity A Guide to Loving Your Body”!

I’m thankful everyday for the great opportunities and support I've received through this amazing program. You too, could be living an amazing life like me if you join DramaWay.
