Jacqueline Janas
- Actress
Jacqueline is an artist who calls herself a Swiss Army knife; she's a singer, actor, dancer, choreographer, director and writer. Originally from Hamilton, Ontario, she currently resides in Toronto. Recent credits include: See No Evil, Haunted Hospitals and Paranormal 911. In 2019 she toured with Smile Theatre in Jim Betts' new musical, "Granny Penny's Grand Adventure" where she originated the role of Joy.
Her love for performing began at the age of 3 when her mother took her to ballet class because Jacqueline was "a hyper kid who wouldn't stop moving". She later trained in jazz and modern then began performing in full length ballets. She danced her first lead role as "Clara" in The Nutcracker with Ballet Ouest de Montreal. Jacqueline then toured for two seasons in Ballet Jorgen Canada's The Nutcracker. She attended Westdale Secondary School's French Immersion program and IB program. She participated in the Sears Ontario Drama Festival for 4 consecutive years.
When she is not onstage or in front of the camera, Jacqueline enjoys reading Jane Austen, drinking copious amounts of tea and knitting. She also loves swimming and playing with her adopted cats, Duchess (yes, she is named after the Disney movie "The Aristocats") and Katara (Kat, named after Avatar: the Last Airbender's Katara)
