Marlene Dong – Secretary

Marlene was a fan of Delinquent Theatre long before being asked to join the board. She brings over 20 years’ experience as a communications professional. She ran a successful communications consulting business for more than 10 years before joining the award-winning communications and marketing team at Langara College.  When she isn’t spending her professional time being rational and structured, she tries to do fun, creative things. Marlene has been a 13-year member of Assaulted Fish Sketch Comedy and has produced, written and performed shows for the CanWest Comedy Festival, Vancouver Fringe Festival, Vancouver Sketch Comedy Festival and SketchFest Seattle, so she’s very comfortable being laughed at.

Odessa Cadieux-Rey – Member at Large

Odessa helped found Delinquent Theatre in 2008, and was active with the young company’s activities until diverting her attentions to an MA in Classics. She has returned to the arts community and now works in education and administration for Bard on the Beach. Her two passions, arts and active transportation, stem from a desire to connect people across social and economic boundaries.

Melissa Martin – Member at Large

Melissa has been on the board since Delinquent Theatre’s incorporation as a non-profit in 2012, and an audience member and friend long before.

Jenn Suratos – Member at Large
