Cinderella Cast

Tracey Atin Christopher Parking	Tracey is a busy and versatile performer. She has recently appeared with Windsor Light Opera (Swingtime Canteen), The Purple Theatre Company (Love, Fire, and other things you shouldn't put in your mouth; The Duffy Honeymoon Disaster) and of course with Korda Productions (Psycho Beach Party; The Learned Ladies). She also manages to find time to be a teacher, an executive producer, a parent, and stressed out.
Jenn Bateman Francesca (Evil Stepsister)	Jenn Bateman is currently enjoying her third year in the BFA acting program at the University of Windsor. Jenn has had her share of "bad girl" roles, including Diabolica the attic witch with Windsor Festival Theatre, Marvel Anne in Psycho Beach Party, Roxie Hart in Chicago and Sandy in Grease. Jenn enjoys all aspects of theatre and is a graduate of Walkerville's Centre for Creative Arts where she studied dance, voice and drama. She has done choreography for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat, The Wizard of Oz and The Man of La Mancha. Although Jenn has loved playing the sweet and lovable roles of Snow White, Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast, she has had a blast with this show and has discovered that it's just so much more fun to be BAD!
David Fenner The Fairy Godfather	David is returning for his second Korda Productions project; he appeared in The Hobbit as Bombur the Dwarf. A 4th year Acting student at the University of Windsor, David is preparing to take his life journey to a new level. Sorry ladies, David has already got a lovely girl picked out to share his life with: he recently proposed to his beautiful girlfriend Rachel. Excited about his engagement and his upcoming graduation, David is full of energy and very happy to be working with Korda once again.
Oliver Georgiou Prince Charming	Oliver is currently in his second of three years at St. Clair College, for the new Musical Theatre Performance Program. His experience ranges back to 1998 in a theatre summer camp with the Windsor Feminist Theatre. The next year he tried Windsor's Original Kids with Anita Lennon-Barlow, and performed with them until Spring 2002. That summer he switched to the Raisbeck Theatre Camp, which began a line of summer camps and shows with Theatre Alive until Spring 2004, performing in school plays and taking highschool drama classes with Jeff as a director and teacher all the while. Last year he was accepted to the brand new Musical Theatre program at the College, is quite happy with his improvement since, and looks forward to learning even more.
Adam Giles Hogwart	The Northern Phantom. Adam has been working on the Windsor scene for 3 years now. He has worked with Purple Theatre, Theatre Intrigue, Theatre Windsor, and Korda Productions. His last role with Korda was playing the manservant Lepine in The Learned Ladies last spring. He is thrilled to be on stage agian with Korda and hopes to work more throughout the Windsor stages.
Khris Lamb Baker, Doorman, Trigger the Wonder Horse	[Don't forget to mention that I'm tall. The world loves tall people.] This is my 2nd show with Korda and I couldn't be more thrilled to be working with these talented, dedicated, and (dare I say) dead sexies again. [Feel free to talk me up here.] Fine as an after dinner wine or simply on my own, I hope to give the role of "Horse end" some much needed depth. [Mention something about my beautiful blue eyes.]
Katie MacTavish Cinderella	IncludingThe Hobbit, Psycho Beach Party and The Learned Ladies, this is Katie's fourth performance with Korda Productions with hopes that it will not be the last. Katie has always loved the stage, which is why she is currently enrolled at the University of Windsor for her third year in the BFA Acting program. Katie would like to thank the cast and crew for making this a wonderful and exhilarating experience.
Jeff Marontate Baroness Beacci (The Wicked Stepmother)	Jeff Marontate returns to the stage as a performer for the first time in years... and puts on a dress for the first time since Hallowe'en in grade 6. Jeff was leery initially at author Tracey Atin's suggestion that he not only direct this production but perform the traditional drag Dame role, but on reading the script he felt that the part was too much fun to turn down. He only hopes that his beard will grow back before Christmas.
Catherine Mary Sossi Sabina (Evil Stepsister)	Catherine Mary has been a proud Windsorite for over two years now. She hails from Toronto, where she studied singing, piano and music theory at the Royal Conservatory of Music and theatre performance at York University. Catherine Mary also performed as a professional singer for many years in clubs across Ontario, the Atlantic Provinces and New York State. In Windsor, Catherine Mary has appeared as Matron Mama Morton in Chicago, Norah Case in Wrong for Each Other, Vi Moore in Footloose and Marilla Cuthbert in Anne of Green Gables. She would like to thank Korda Productions for the terrific experience and her dear husband Claudio for all his encouragement and support.
