The Tempest
2020 Shakespeare Canada School Tour Cast
Heather Billington
Ariel / Caliban / Boatswain
Heather is an equal fan of treading the boards and treading behind them. Having been involved (and in love) with theatre since playing Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz aged 13 (she still has the ruby slippers), she has appeared in many musicals and plays in Ireland and in Canada, and can usually be found working in theatre production in Vancouver city.
With an English degree and many acting masterclasses under her belt, Heather is delighted to make her debut with Shakespeare Canada and make Shakespeare accessible and enjoyable for everyone. She hopes students will have as much fun watching the show as she will acting in it!
Jasmine Eadie
Alonsa / Trinculo / Sycorax
Jasmine has enjoyed theatre and acting from a young age, but it was through the involvement in her University’s musical theatre group that she really developed her love for the performing arts. After many years of working in her hometown of Prince George with UNBC Musical Productions, Judy Russell Presents, and Picaroon Pictures, she wondered what opportunities would lie in the big city. So in December of 2019, she made the plunge and moved down to Vancouver to pursue acting further.
She is absolutely thrilled to be a part of Shakespeare Canada as her first professional project and to bring the magic of the theatre to students in the 2020 School Tour. She would like to thank the cast and crew for their hard work and passion, and to Aaron and Ace for this wonderful opportunity.
