Heart of our City, Jordan Paolinelli in Prince Rupert’s Mamma Mia!
Her day-to-day job is as a longshoreman down at the port, working her way up the ladder to union status. She wears a hard hat and safety boots most days. She loves the outdoors, hiking trails with her new husband of eight months and spending time with their dogs. It is a stark contrast to the woman she has become over the past few months and the characteristics she has cloaked herself in.
Her family moved to Prince Rupert when she was seven years old and she has grown up and gone through the school system in the coastal city. Life wasn’t without challenges for Jordan and just like the symbolic Melpomine and Thalia masks representing theatre, Jordan has survived almost a quarter of a century by donning both.
The 24-year-old said her career is the “polar opposite” of what she loves to do at home. She said she is very creative and loves to sketch, paint, and singing was second nature to her growing up. “In 2014, my mom committed suicide,” she said, adding that a few days after her passing, she headed back to rehearsals. In hind site, she said she was numb and “just going through the motions.”
“… Mamma Mia was a soundtrack that we listened to all of the time and repeatedly watched the movies and danced in the kitchen,” she said. “So, when this musical came about … it just felt like it would be something she would want me to do. It felt like the right direction to go and so I couldn’t help myself. I was so excited.”“I feel like an old lady in a young body. I very much relate to [older people],” Jordan explained. “I’m a sober person in my 20s.
“I work a physically exhausting job, so by the time we get to evening practices, having my brain and body moving at the same time – I have a hard time keeping up. I feel like if I could just do practices, the amount of energy I could get out there would be so much more phenomenal.” “I know I’m her age group, blonde hair, but to be a bubbly, young 20-something who is oblivious of the world — I feel like that is so opposite of my personal life … it’s been fun to step into a different role.”
