Andee Shuster is a woman of many hats. Having started out as Tour Coordinator for Montreal’s Geordie Productions in 2001, Andee has grown her marketing communications career in the arts, culture, education, and community sectors, and now works as Marketing and Communications Officer for McGill University. In her off hours, Shuster is a singer-actor with a passion for musical theatre. Apart from her 20-year tenure as a soprano soloist with the Shaare Zion Choir, Andee has portrayed such notable onstage roles as “Golde” in Fiddler on the Roof (Dora Wasserman Yiddish Theatre), “Narrator” in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (Hudson Theatre Studio), “Rebecca” in The Gefilte Fish Chronicles (CETM), and “Kate” in the Off-Broadway Yiddish production of The Pirates of Penzance (The National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene, New York). Balancing a full-time day-job and part-time gigs hasn’t been easy, but Shuster’s been able to make it work. A proud member of CAEA and ACTRA, Andee still performs a one-woman show seven nights a week--for her daughter’s bedtime.
