Jarrah Steinberg
Jarrah has been attending Corrugated Iron since he was just seven – and he loves it! Over the years, he has moved from circus to theatre. His hobbies include reading, writing, circus, acting, drawing and lots more – he’s also a mad Doctor Who fan. He’s enthusiastic and positive, and is always keen to help out. Jarrah one day hopes to work on the stage, and believes his time at Corrugated Iron has set him on the right path.
