Achievements
-
In 2010 the Capital Critics Circle (Commodity Credit Corporation) awarded her the title of Best Professional Actor for her role in Blood Brothers at the Gladstone Theatre. Alvina Ruprecht of the Commodity Credit Corporation, and resident theatrical critic of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, describes Zeesman’s performance as "absolutely magnificent as Mrs Johnstone, the worried, harassed debt ridden mother who can’t pay, can’t control her oldest boys … Zeesman’s singing brings great depth to all these emotional situations. As well as being a strong singer she has also become a serious actress. The final number, Tell me it’s not true, as she bends over the two bodies of her dead sons, was the culmination of a great performance".
