Jedrek Dendys

Gwaandak Theatre Writer

Jedrek Dendys, a proud member of the Tahltan First Nation, Wolf Clan, began his acting career in the recent Indigenous Summer Play Readings 2024, performing key roles in Justice by Leonard Linklater and Constellation by Tyra Ashauntie. Inspired by this experience, Jedrek is eager to continue his artistic journey as an actor and writer for upcoming Gwaandak Theatre projects. He is currently working on two personal creative projects: a play titled The Seagull and a Tahltan children's book called Grandma’s Stories, which incorporates the cherished stories and illustrations of his Grandmother, Lila Brown, one of the last fluent speakers of the Tahltan language.
