“I cannot think of an organization to which I am happier and better situated to lend a hand. Norm Foster’s work has shaped my career. Having been involved in over 30 of his productions including two world premieres, I can only reflect on Norm and his work with immense gratitude. To have this opportunity to give back is truly an honour. I am thrilled for the next while to be joining the inestimable Emily Oriold and the rest of the Foster Festival team in producing more great theatre for the 2024 season right here in my hometown.” -Jamie Williams, Artistic Associate
