Jewel Jerstad -Gem of the theatre and diamond of Mamma Mia!
Her grown-up segue into theatre came with the invitation to be the choreographer in one of the Lester Centre’s first community musicals, Leader of the Pack circa 1999-2000. However, she remembers the opening of the Lester Center in the 80s when she was in high school and performing in Annie.
Raised on ABBA, it being her mom’s favourite group, the records of the glittery, bell-bottomed and platformed-heeled band was played as frequently as she inhaled the North Coast air. The music ran through her veins.“I’ve wanted to do Mamma Mia! for 20 years. This is my dream show,” she emphasized,Generally, some of the conditions for obtaining the rights to any musical can be challenging for smaller locations.
The musical production has provided her with experiences she would never have got to experience herself. The gem of the theatre said she “literally lives the show,” and it has become part of her. “She was my person,” Jewel said, explaining that Patty was a pillar in the Prince Rupert theatre community. For years the duo worked on productions together and even had their own special spots in the dressing room. They first connected as adults when Patty stepped into Leader of the Pack with just two weeks to prepare after an actor had to leave the production. The two had been singing together ever since.
Most of the cast in the production wear an item in their costumes that was Patty’s, so she will be on stage with them during the performances, Jewel said. “We had planned on doing this show for so long … She got robbed. At first, I honestly didn’t know if I would be able to do it. But when I start a project, I have to finish it. I didn’t want to let her down by not stepping up and taking the role.”
