Meet The Team: Amy Lee Newman

I’m Amy Lee Newman, a performing artist who loves acting, singing and dancing. I grew up on Salt Spring Island, BC, before making Vancouver my home. I trained at UVIC and the Banff Centre, and have performed in many shows over my career. My favorite recent role? ‘Mrs. Bennet’ in “Pride & Prejudice.”

I operated the Theatre Royal in Barkerville Historic Town for 16 years with my partner, Richard Wright. We produced over 75 original musicals, performing for thousands of tourists every season. Recently, I wrote a musical “Meadows of Stone,” with my colleague Jim Hodgkinson. Our show will be produced later this year at the Sunset Theatre in Wells, BC.

Offstage, you’ll find me swimming, cycling or doing nature photography –– but I shine brightest onstage, especially hosting the Lost Souls of Gastown Tour.
