Will Parry

Will Parry (he/they) is a proudly queer Barrie-born Actor-Singer currently based in Toronto.

Will has worked in theatre both as a performer and educator. As a performer, he’s worked with such companies as Drayton Entertainment (Toto in Wizard of Oz: The Panto) and Starvox Entertainment (Performer-Demonstrator in Illusionarium). Coming up this December, Will is playing Milky White & Others in The Royal Conservatory of Music’s production of Into The Woods directed by Richard Ouzounian. As an educator, Will primarily works with the Drayton Entertainment Youth Academy teaching classes including Improv, Scripted Acting, Puppetry and Audition Technique. Additionally, they are a mentor with Next Generation Showcase (formerly known as Theatre Ontario Showcase) having hosted their Annual Coffee House, Monologue Slam, and moderated numerous of their industry-focused panels. He is also a graduate of the St. Lawrence College Music Theatre Performance program.

This variety of theatrical endeavours has given them clarity on why they love theatre. That love is rooted in being able to share joy with others. Will believes there is nothing more powerful than bringing someone out of their day-to-day struggles with a smile or a giggle. His love for the musical theatre began at the ripe age of eleven, when he played the pivotal role of a Yellow Gummy Bear in a local community theatre production of Willy Wonka Jr.
