Veteran Jamaican actress and playwright Andrea ‘Delcita’ Wright has built a career that spans decades of stage performance and comedy, earning her a respected place in local theatre. Beyond her own work, she has also contributed to the industry as a mentor, helping to shape and guide emerging actors who credit her influence in their development. That care extends into her personal life, where her daughter, Dreanna Williams, has followed in her creative footsteps and often collaborates with her on and off stage. The duo is now preparing to bring joy on Mother’s Day for Wright’s latest production, Contestant69: The Court House Edition.

Inspired by her mother, the 24-year-old shared that she enjoys working with her, as the feeling never gets old.

“It still feels so new and fresh every time. Dealing with new perspectives, new shows and new audiences always gives you something special to look forward to. It’s truly special,” Williams told The Gleaner.  It was while in fifth form at York Castle High that Williams realised she also wanted to get involved in production. Though preparing for her CSEC examinations at the time, she still wanted to help behind the scenes without the pressure of learning lines.
