Joyce Lam, Founder and Former Artistic Director of vAct (Vancouver Asian Canadian Theatre), passed away last week at the age of 63. Joyce founded vAct and was at its helm for 14 years, producing over 45 shows.

vAct put it best: “Many of us would not be here today without Joyce’s vision and determination to uplift Asian Canadian stories in Vancouver and beyond. A leader, dreamer, and visionary, Joyce will be dearly missed by the vAct family. Our thoughts are with Joyce’s family and loved ones.”

Rest in Power, Joyce.
