Elijah Bamberry

Elijah Bamberry is one of the founders of the Youtheatre Movement Society and has been deeply involved with the organization from an early age, growing up within its culture of physical theatre, storytelling, and youth mentorship. As part of the Bamberry family legacy that helped establish Youtheatre, Elijah holds the unique distinction of having participated in every Youtheatre production and event since its inception.

Over the years, he has taken on a variety of roles, including the Ventriloquist's Dummy, a troubled lacky, and numerous delinquent youths. He has also understudied many roles across productions and tours, stepping into performances when needed and adapting quickly to unexpected changes. Elijah, alongside his two brothers Coltrane and Jonphonse, once had to adapt a four-actor scene into a three-actor performance while travelling by bus to a high school in the Interior of BC, creatively merging roles to form a new character known as "Barney." On another tour to the Okanagan, Elijah learned and performed the role of Lou in Handcuffed on just two days' notice.
