Cinderella Cast

Tracey Atin Christopher Parking	Tracey Atin is a proud founding member of Korda and has produced and acted in every show. She made her Korda directorial debut with The Bible last Spring. Tracey is a busy and versatile performer, teacher and writer. She would like to thank all members of the Korda team (especially the Korda Boarda) for sharing their talent, energy and healthy insanity. Thanks also to Bob, Becca and James for their encouragement, help and humour, and to Dorothy (a.k.a. Korda Walker, a.k.a. my mom) for everything!
Davydd Cook The Fairy Godfather	Since his chances for a real career in Computer Science or English vanished in a puff of boredom, Davydd has been on a continuing mission to seek out new life and new civilizations. He believes he has found them in the theatre. A veteran of nine years on Windsor stages—including the last three with Korda—he looks forward to receiving his tenure, his pension, and retiring to a quieter, saner life with computers and books. That said, he is used to disappointment and happily remains part of the Korda Borda Directors as they prepare for the hysteria of the upcoming Shakesperiment in 2007. Thanks for joining us; come back and see us next year, capische?
Jordan Fantauzzo Prince Charming	Charming? Jordan? Who woulda thunk it. This is Jordan's first Korda production and he is thrilled to be Prince Charming. Jordan would like to thank Tracey and Christopher for their amazing patience as well as the cast for putting up with the youngest Prince this side of Ever After. Jordan is currently attending Walkerville High School and is actively involved in the Walkerville Centre for the Creative Arts. He will be seen in their upcoming production of Into the Woods as the Baker. Special thanks to his Cinderella and all of his friends and family for their support.
April Glover Sabina (Evil Stepsister)	April got the acting bug in grade 4 when she starred as LEON, an alien looking to find the real meaning of Christmas. From there she continued her love of the stage and has performed with many theatre groups in Windsor, Leamington and Belleville. Some of her favorite roles include Philia in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Hermia in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Bianca in The Taming of the Shrew and Columbia in The Rocky Horror Show. When not on stage April spends her days counting cash at Scotiabank and on the radio at AM 800 CKLW. At home April is mommy to two dogs and two cats and one husband (sorry Dennis).
Carla Gyemi Cinderella	Carla is thrilled to be in her first production with Korda. And what better way than to start off with the group than by cleaning floors for an evil stepmother and then get to go to a ball in a fancy gown? Carla is currently in her final year at Walkerville Collegiate Institute for the Creative Arts and is planning to continue her passion for music theatre and vocal in University. Ironically, she is also playing the role of Cinderella in her school's production of Into the Woods in March. Carla would like to thank everyone in Korda (especially Christopher and Tracey) for giving her the chance to play Cindy in such a great version of the show with such a talented cast. She would also like to thank her great group of friends (especially Nik, Marcella, Amelia, and Jordan), and her wonderful family for all their encouragement and support, however difficult the "princess" may be at times. Enjoy the Show!
Carl Haffner Hogwart (Trusted Man Servant)	Carl Haffner first discovered his love of acting after writing a speech about Calvin and Hobbes in grade school. Since then he has taken any part that has came his way, though this is only his second time appearing on stage with Korda Productions. Carl has aided them backstage in other performances and is excited to now appear in Cinderella as the TMS (Trusted Man Servant). He hopes you will enjoy the show so much that you will bring more friends to see it.
Khris Lamb Francesca (Evil Stepsister)	Student. Actor. The choice choosy moms choose. I'm a 2nd year Visual Arts/Communications student at the University of Windsor. This show will be my fourth outing with this amazing theatre company, Korda Productions. I have been overacting my whole life but acting on stage for about 12 years now, gaining experiences through many shows, both in Windsor and elsewhere. This will mark my second experience playing a woman (and second in the last three months). Thank you all for showing your support by coming to see the show... and mom and dad—smile. You once told me you always wanted a girl in the family.
Jeff Marontate Baroness Beacci (The Wicked Stepmother)	Except for the loss of a beard, Jeff Marontate is happy be reprising his role as the Baroness in Cinderella. Korda audiences will be more familiar with his offstage work: Jeff has directed Korda's productions of The Rocky Horror Show, The Hobbit, The Learned Ladies, Psycho Beach Party, last year's premiere of Cinderella, and most recently the double bill of Charles Busch one-act comedies, which will be seen again in May 2007 at Toronto's Buddies in Bad Times Theatre. Jeff's next project will be Korda's production of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing in March of 2007.
Tyler Workman Baker, Doorman, Trigger the Wonder Horse	This is my second Korda production and it's been a blast. Being an Emperor's slave and a butler (in the double bill Double Trouble) is more similar to being the head-half of a horse than you might think. Prince Charming is a much nicer owner than the Emperor or a vampire thankfully. Finding the differences between Pillsbury and the Footman has been a lot of fun for me. After Cinderella, I'm looking forward to taking a small break over the holidays.
