More about Marilyn. www.marilynblythwilson.com
" I am passionate about ensuring all children and adults can access performing arts education. Drama can engage, create new skills, and develop social skills.
I love seeing participants confidence develop and grow.
​
I believe performing arts should reflect the world we live in, therefore, Blythwood Theatre believes in drama with a social conscience. Creating work that reflects, evaluates, and shares what brings us together as a community.
