A Statement from the Acting President 

"The Jessies are back! We have heard from so many of you that having annual awards for excellence in Vancouver’s professional theatre scene is something our community wants and has been missing. We also know that there are structures of inequality the Jessies have contributed to upholding in its past that needed addressing for it to have a robust, inclusive future. In the time since announcing our hiatus, your Jessies Board has done a lot of dreaming, researching, and consulting to try and re-shape aspects of the awards that need changing."​
