Our Team

Little Dipper Theatre was founded in 2021 by a group of artists based in and around Langley who are passionate about contributing to the theatre scene in the area.

We are a non-profit organization run by volunteers. We depend on ticket sales and donations to make ends meet for our productions and reoccurring costs.

  • James Shannon

    TECHNICAL DIRECTOR | He/Him

    James is an eclectic jack-of-all-trades whose curiosity knows no bounds. While he has a relatively modest background in theatre, his love of learning has kept him busy picking up new skills. Among other things, he's led trail rides on a guest ranch; sailed the coast of BC; coached numerous sports at varying levels; and worked as a software developer, robotics engineer, signage fabricator, accountant, realtor, and day care worker. He has even been known to cook a 12 course meal just for the fun of it. He is very pleased to find this outlet for his multi-faceted skill set.

  • Jordan Ravensbergen

    DIRECTOR OF MARKETING | She/Her

    Jordan signed up for theatre school because she wanted to have a job that would be ever changing, with each show presenting its own unique challenges so she would never get bored. Now, she is drawn to theatre for its special brand of magic in the creation and immersion of the world of a show. While she isn't shy of performing, she prefers to support shows backstage. You may have seen her prop Jellyfish in Little Dipper's Wild Light, her impressionist umbrellas in Our Town, or her coffee and scones in the realistic kitchen of Common Grace.
