Some of her favourite credits include Rapunzel in Into the Woods and Helena in a Midsummer Night’s Dream. When she isn’t onstage or teaching voice, she can most often be found outdoors, especially paddle boarding, biking and hiking, or sweating it out at spin class.

A bicoastal performer now calling Vancouver her second home, she recently made her BC theatre debut in Fraser Valley Stage’s Legally Blonde. Other credits include 9 to 5, Shrek, Newsies, and Pippin. She thanks Ryver and Livia for the opportunity to play this complex and empowered female role!
Abrielle Dumansky

as Joanne

Abrielle Dumansky is an actor, singer-songwriter, and a former competitive cheerleader, so she’s had a lot of fun bringing the role of Joanne to life, as well as choreographing some of the cheer moves in “I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing!” She has had an amazing experience with this show, and would like to thank the cast and entire creative team for being a dream to work with!
