companies in the city, com-
mitted to promoting the
continued growth of the
thriving Vancouver theatre

community.

The Jessie Awards, named
in honour of the late Jessie
Richardson for her dedicated
work in theatre, is just one
of the yearly projects which
the Alliance undertakes in its |
efforts to promote and cele-
brate the healthy artistic
scene in Vancouver theatre.

takes’ this opportunity to
share with the theatre au-
dience their pride in the ex-
