Jo Smith 

Role: Director and Founder of Dramatize 

Jo and Karen founded Dramatize in 2011 when they saw the need for leisure activities for adults with learning disabilities once they turned 18.  

A bit about Jo...

Jo is a budding theatre goer and steers towards the west end musicals. She has a wealth of knowledge within the disability sector as a mother of a child with Autism and Downs Syndrome.  She has the personal experience and can relate to other parents who access our provisions.  Jo is an outgoing person and always up for a laugh!
