DON PARMAN - Coquiltam BC
I am a twenty-year veteran of the theatre and event scene in the Lower Mainland, with stints as a festival manager, roadhouse technician, designer and mentor. From festival creation to lighting operator, there is very little I haven’t had the chance to do in my career. I am also an outspoken advocate for industry safety (Actsafe) and have a passion for musicals. With recent changes in my life, I hope to continue advocating for the performing arts and spend more time with my first passion: my family.
