Aldergrove actor stars in ‘Chronicles of Narnia’ production

For Cath de la Rambelje, it’s always been her and the stage – as her friends say.

She has been involved in theatre for as long as she can remember, but only began the art of performing professionally two years ago.

“It’s not only my love for the art of theatre that initially drew me in, but what I have always described as an innate need to perform,” Rambelje told The Star.

Her heart craves theatre, she added.

“I can’t go a few months without wanting to be in a show. The community theatre creates something indescribably beautiful and unique.”

Rambelje is one of the last students to graduate from Trinity Western University’s now defunct theatre program, and said she has the department to thank for her successful career.

She most enjoys creating art in a safe space in a community.

“Theatre is all about emotions, but that is not necessarily limited to on stage. Being encouraged to come as you are into every rehearsal is what makes the long, sweaty hours worth it,” she said.
