In our first ALUMNI ENGAGEMENT (June 2024), Father Lacombe High School theatre tech students gathered in their theatre with teacher Catherine Courage to speak across the pond with class of 2014 Bishop Carroll HS alumni Madison Lymer of Sonia Friedman Productions. The students had the opportunity to ask questions about education paths and employment prospects in the theatre world beyond acting.
Madison pursued her BA (honours) in International and Global studies at Queen’s University (class of ’18) and went on to Goldsmiths, University of London (UK) obtaining her Master (honours – class of ’20). Throughout her career she has progressed through various theatre and arts organizations, both in Canada and overseas and is now the International Sales and Revenue Director for Sonia Friedman Productions – an international production company responsible for some of the most successful theatre productions in London and New York.
Giving back through alumni mentorship is a meaningful way to give back by guiding high school students with real-world insights and encouragement, helping them succeed. It strengthens community bonds and inspires the next generation to achieve their potential.
