Jane Wells grew up in Cascumpeque, PEI but has spent the past 20 years in Toronto working as a writer, actor and director. In addition to her own work with Number Eleven Theatre and as a solo theatre artist, Jane has directed many community-based performances, working primarily with school-age children. She has taught physical theatre workshops for all ages, to professional actors, students, and community theatre groups across Canada.

Jane has been working with the River Clyde Pageant since 2017, leading drama workshops for children in the community. These sessions serve as a springboard for children to join the Pageant as performers; over the past three years, workshops have helped forge a youth ensemble with a powerful creative voice. In 2019, Jane co-hosted and facilitated cooking workshops for newcomer women at The Mill in New Glasgow. These workshops focussed on preparing traditional Island dishes with local, seasonal ingredients, offering newcomer participants the opportunity to make new social connections, learn about Island culture and the River Clyde Pageant through the experience of cooking and sharing a meal. Jane is the co-director of The River Clyde Pageant.
