Diane Harris-Wakeling

Having graced many stages in the greater Toronto area and across Niagara, Diane is proud to be part of the ensemble. With the company since 2001, she had the pleasure of playing Emily, in the Misty Award-winning production of "Greetings". This was followed by six more successful roles over the next five seasons. In 2007, she and her husband Cam had the opportunity to purchase the company. They then brought in a partner, Peter Borys, to complete this successful mix of business and creative talent. Behind the scenes, she has fulfilled duties for the company as Assistant Director, House Manager, Producer, and Marketing Director. In 2008, Diane was thrilled to once again bring the role of Emily to life, when the company remounted their sentimental favourite, "Greetings", to properly mark their exciting change of venue to Queen Victoria Place. That role was followed by her reprisal of Jeanette in this past Spring’s production of "Last Of The Red Hot Lovers".

She has thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of producing this show, while gaining more directorial experience with the help of her partner, Peter. Prior to moving to Niagara-on-the-Lake fifteen years ago from the Greater Toronto Area, Diane studied in Toronto with Theatre Ontario, Equity Showcase and esteemed acting coaches Theresa Sears and David Switzer. She has many television, film and commercial credits to her name, but confesses that she is happiest performing in theatre. “It’s the live audience factor that makes an actor come alive; every performance is new and exciting for a stage actor.” Diane credits husband Cam as the “wind beneath her wings”, enabling her to follow her heart.
