james wallis - director

James attended Ryerson Theatre School where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting, which was pivotal in the development of his philosophies on acting and the theatre.
After finishing school, James jumped right into the big bad world of commercial work and film & television acting. He has been seen in a number of national commercials, including spots for Boston Pizza, Honda and Expedia. Also, he has appeared on The Jon Dore Show, XIII: The Series and in a number of feature films including: And Now A Word From Our Sponsors and The Movie Out Here.
In 2010, James founded Shakespeare BASH’d in order to take responsibility for his creativity by producing the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries in the city of Toronto. For the company, James has directed staged readings of Romeo and Juliet (2010) and A Midsummer Night’s Dream (2011), as well as the full production of Romeo & Juliet at the 3030 Bar. He played Petruchio in the company's Best of Fringe winning production of The Taming of the Shrew in 2012 and played Benedick in their sold-out production of Much Ado About Nothing in the 2013 Toronto Fringe.
In addition, here are some of James’ selected theatre credits: A Midsummer Nights’ Dream, Shakespeare’s Magic and The Taming of the Shrew (Theatre by the Bay), Danny, King of the Basement (Roseneath Theatre, US Tour), Sleeping Beauty (Sudbury Theatre Centre), Paradise by the River (Shadowpath Theatre).
James is a very proud Torontonian and Shakespearean who hopes to always be working in some way on the plays of “the immortal Bard.”
