ALISON WANDZURA
MRS. WEAVER
Growing up on the Canadian Prairies, I busied myself with creating opportunities to act. I was the Artistic Director of a basement theatre company consisting of my two brothers and I, directing puppet shows and staging scenes that I’d hoped would somehow be featured on America’s Funniest Home Videos.
I reached the climax of my childhood acting career when I was cast as “The Wife” in a fourth grade school production of The Shoemaker’s Wife.
In 2006 I graduated from the University of Calgary with a business degree in Marketing coupled with a minor degree in Theatre and fell in love with acting on stage.
​
At age 26, after sampling a dual life of business by day and theatre by night, I relocated to Vancouver. Since arriving on the West Coast, I’ve appeared in shows including Van Helsing (SyFy) The X Files Revival (FOX), The Magicians (SyFy), Minority Report (FOX), iZombie (CW), Backstrom (FOX), Motive (ABC), Once Upon a Time (ABC), Age of Adeline (Lakeshore), and Supernatural (CW) . See my IMDB pagefor a full list of credits.
​
With two short film Producer credits under my belt, I’m continuing to explore the world of producing with the goal of creating thought-provoking stories in theatre and film. I am a professional member of Women in Film and Television Vancouver.
