Yvonne Dhanoa

Executive Director

Yvonne Dhanoa is the Artistic Director and Co-Producer of the Brampton's Own Shakespeare Show. She made her professional theatre debut as a producer and director with the first annual Brampton's Own Shakespeare Show production of Much Ado About Nothing in the summer for 2022.

​Yvonne is a classically trained actor who loves Shakespeare. She is a graduate of the BFA-Acting Programme at the University of Windsor.  When Yvonne was a teenager, she watched the inaugural season of the Shakespeare in the Square Festival, in her hometown of Brampton, ON. This propelled Yvonne to decide to focus on theatre as a career. She has now created the Brampton’s Own Shakespeare Show in partnership with her father, Mike Gauthier, in the hopes that this new festival will encourage more young people to explore a position in the arts.

Yvonne is also a certified Project Management Professional, as recognized by the Project Management International organization. Select theatre credits include: Producer/Director, Twelfth Night (Louie the Goat); Stage Manager, The Russian Play (Spiel Players); Producer, AV Sideshow (ISOPROX Theatre); Actor, A Midsummer Night’s Dream (ACT Productions)
