Theatre Reviewer – Jonah Zalick
An enthusiastic writer since a young age, Jonah has been able to put his passion and academic knowledge to the test by working with us as a Theatre Reviewer.
While volunteering for us, Jonah has also achieved an extended diploma in Creative Media Production and Technology, and is now working on a Bachelor’s degree in Creative and Professional Writing. Having the opportunity to review theatrical shows, as well as music acts, in Plymouth has further enabled him to find beauty in our ocean city, and the drive to pass on the feeling of embracing culture and thought onto others.
