    "James was my Drama teacher at MacEwan University and his passion, love, and dedication to his work came through everyday. He was easily the best teacher I've had in my entire life and the world feels so much more empty after his passing. I treasured the time that I was able to spend with him and I remember the conversations he was willing to indulge in after classes or in his office. A truly great teacher and a wonderful human being. I love you, James! Hope there is more for you on the other side!"

About him

James Eadie

James Eadie

Passed on: February 25th, 2021

James Philip Eadie passed away at home in February 2021, aged 78. James was a teacher, actor, director and writer. He taught drama and acting to thousands of students in high schools and universities over the years. He had a fierce love of the best in theatre, film and opera, a love which he imparted to friends and students. James got an early start to his life in theatre while living in France: at the age of four, he acted in a film with Edith Piaf, and soon after that, with Gina Lollobrigida. He taught Drama and English at MacEwan University for 33 years, and after retirement in 2017 spent his time writing and adding to his extensive collection of film and opera discs. To remember James, you may wish to enjoy some Alberta film, theatre or opera, and to make a contribution to one of the many local theatres or to Edmonton Opera.
