Our Valuable Team Members


Anne spends her free time involved in community theatre as well as independent theatre projects. This has offered her the opportunity to engage in acting, directing, producing and marketing roles. Her other interests include travelling, reading, and sleeping.


With strong ties to South Georgian Bay, she relocated to Collingwood with her husband and their toddler in 2015 because they wanted to provide their child with the incredible lifestyle and benefits that come with growing-up in our beautiful town. She joined Theatre Collingwood a few years later and now uses her expertise in arts marketing to fundraise for the company.
Making connections with individuals and businesses that want to demonstrate their community support in a way that has lasting benefits is Valerie’s specialty. Through Sponsorship opportunities, she helps businesses reach audiences with their key messages in unique and creative ways. She shows that theatre sponsorship performs more than typical advertising, and she’s always looking for partners in the community who want to bring PLAY back to life!
Valerie also volunteers with South Georgian Bay Tourism Association and is Vice-Chair of the Board of Directors. Please reach out to her if you would like promote your business and help elevate arts and culture in South Georgian Bay!


She has a BA in Psychology and Sociology from McMaster University and completed a Certificate in the Fund Raising Program at Humber College while Assistant Director of Alumni Affairs at Brock University.
She moved with her husband to Collingwood 4 years ago and soon after began volunteering with Theatre Collingwood and Gaslight Community Theatre. She feels very privileged to be a part of Theatre Collingwood’s Admin Team, helping to support theatre in her new community.
Special Thanks to our Theatre Advocates!
