My name is Will Parry (he/they). I am a proudly queer, 5 '7.5 " (the .5 is very important), Barrie-born Actor-Singer-Content Creator currently based in Toronto.

​

I have worked in theatre both as a performer and educator. As a performer, I've worked with such companies as Drayton Entertainment (Toto in Wizard of Oz: The Panto) and Starvox Entertainment (Performer-Demonstrator in Illusionarium). Coming up this December, I am playing Milky White & Others in The Royal Conservatory of Music's production of Into The Woods directed by Richard Ouzounian. As an educator, I primarily work with the Drayton Entertainment Youth Academy teaching classes including Improv, Scripted Acting, Puppetry and Audition Technique. Additionally, I am a mentor with Next Generation Showcase (formerly known as Theatre Ontario Showcase) having hosted their Annual Coffee House, Monologue Slam, and I've moderated numerous of their industry-focused panels. I'm also a graduate of the St. Lawrence College Music Theatre Performance program.

 

This variety of theatrical endeavours has given me clarity on why I love theatre. That love is rooted in being able to share joy with others. I believe there is nothing more powerful than bringing someone out of their day-to-day struggles with a smile or a giggle.

​

My love for the musical theatre began at the ripe age of eleven, when I played the pivotal role of a Yellow Gummy Bear in a local community theatre production of Willy Wonka Jr. Since this impactful moment, my favourite colour has become yellow (previously lime green) and I have not stopped playing animals on stage.

 

Outside of theatre, I am also a content creator. What started as a side-gig of working as a Social Media Manager, has expanded into taking content into my own hands on both Instagram and TikTok. Since becoming a content creator, I have collaborated with such brands as Fabricland, White Claw Canada, and most recently, Freshii!

 

I am proudly and gratefully represented by Cat MacFarlane at da Costa Talent.
