Theatre Aezir is pleased to announce the winner of the Young Artist Bursary to Off the Wall and the winner is Shams Al-Haddad

Shams will be attending Sheridan College studying Technical Production for the Performing Arts in the fall. She has previous experience as a Stage Manager in high school productions and has attended a Theatre Production Camp and the Musical Theatre Production Camp at the Stratford Festival. Shams’ application clearly stated her strong desire to become a theatre professional. It has been her hope since third-grade when her music class went to see The Phantom of the Opera. She knew deep down that she was destined for a theatre career. Shams will be taking the Setting-the-Scene Props and Scenic Art class at Off The Wall this summer.  Theatre Aezir is thrilled to be able to assist Shams in her goal to become a theatre professional.
