Heath looks forward to continuing to contribute to Windsor’s ever-growing film and theatre industry for many years to come.
Olivia Mousseau’s connection to theatre began early, growing up with a mother who taught dramatic arts and brought her along to rehearsals. After performing in school productions, including The Pirates of Penzance at summer camp, she is returning to the stage and exploring new opportunities in theatre, finding a new sense of fulfillment behind the scenes as Stage Manager for Venus in Fur. Beyond theatre, Olivia is passionate about women’s empowerment, advocacy, and creative expression. She is currently developing a fashion line for pole dancers while balancing full-time work and her many creative pursuits.
