From Grade 5 choir to high school musicals, David Connolly found his love for theatre through school. Today, David applies that passion as the artistic director at Drayton Entertainment where he oversees seven theaters in Ontario. This year, the company will produce 21 shows.
David was born with a congenital abnormality that required amputating both legs below the knee to be fitted with artificial limbs that allowed him to walk, run, and eventually dance. Today, he is a proud disability and inclusion advocate and was the first amputee to perform on Broadway. In 2024, David was the recipient of the Canadian Actors' Equity Association's inaugural Change Maker Award.
