Jules Tonus was a Scenic Artist and dedicated member of the theatre community for over 25 years. With intentions of becoming an actor, Jules entered the University of Windsor and soon after his interests shifted to the offstage pursuits of set design, scenic painting and props. Graduating from Wayne State University in Detroit with a Masters of Fine Arts, Jules began his professional career as a Set Designer. After his marriage to Jill and the birth of their two children, Kristen and Andrew, Jules shifted his career again to become one of the finest Scenic Artists in all of Canada. Jules passed away in 2005.
