Alexandros Mustakas, M.S.M.
Elmira, Ontario

Founding artistic and managing director of Drayton Entertainment, Alex Mustakas led its dramatic expansion from a single, grassroots playhouse to one of Canada’s largest theatre companies. This unique Canadian model connects seven affiliated venues in small-town southwestern Ontario that offer stage productions with professional actors and musicians at modest ticket prices. Audiences, performers and local economies alike have benefited from a reinvigorated theatre scene.
