“Contact Theatre has been instrumental in the career I have today. It provided a space where young people could develop and hone their skills in acting, writing, directing, poetry, and dance. A place where you meet with people from all walks of life hear stories and try and fail without judgement. Contact has helped develop the careers of a multitude of brilliant artists. I am honoured to be a patron of this essential institution.”
