Puja Uppal - Noor Inayat Khan
Having been back in her home town for a year and half now Puja has immersed herself back into acting in the capital city. Latest theatre credits include Phoenix Player’s production of Office Hours by Norm Foster, Three Sisters production of The Clean House by Sarah Ruhl and When There’s Nothing Left to Burn by Sean Devine. This is Puja’s first time being apart of Ottawa Fringe and is looking forward to the experience.

Jessie Doucet - Hans Josef Kieffer/Others
Jessica Doucet's interest in acting started at a young age. She participated in many productions as a child, before leaving the arts scene to persue an international baccalaureate program in Germany. When she moved to Ottawa five years ago, her passion for acting and the art of storytelling reignited. She spends a lot of time in front of and behind the camera, including directing Pyrrhic Victory, work on the webseries Past Redemption and assistant producer at SDC Video Productions. Her acting credits include Darren Aronofsky's Mother!, Saint Charles Place, and most recently 'A Year in The Death of Eddie Jester' with the Kanata Theatre. |
