Cinderella Artistic Committee
 Christopher Menard Director |
Beth—one of the good folk—on a whim, suggested Christopher might be an acceptable choice to direct Korda's second venture into Cinderella's kingdom. So when Tracey cordially invited him to the ball, he figured it would be worth an RSVP. In his own words: "The thanks are individual and collective, and there isn't room to give them all. Instead, I'll say—to this cast & crew—you're all generous beyond compare, with your thoughts, your time, your performances. This is your show to give to the audiences, and I thank you for letting me a part of the process." Special thanks go to his 3 families; the one named Menard, the ones who count money, and the Korda Boarda... nothing without you. |
 Tracey Atin Executive Producer |
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! |
 Rebecca Godden Stage Manager |
Rebecca Godden is a long-time pursuer and sometimes fan of the arts. She has taken it upon herself to rewrite, direct and star in this production of Cinderella, all the while disguising herself as stage manager. Known more commonly as "Patch", Rebecca got her start in theatre in 1971 with the Royal Zambian Pantomime Revue and Spa. She doesn't get out much during the day, and sleeps very little at night, and so has been grateful for this hilarious distraction. But here I am telling secrets to the one guy you don't tell secrets to... this is off the record, right? |
 Bob Godden Composer |
Bob Godden was very pleased to have the opportunity to put Tracey's great lyrics for Cinderella to music for this production. Son of classical pianist and composer Reginald Godden, Bob is a retired math teacher from General Amherst and Leamington High Schools. He has been involved in many ways in the musical and theatrical scene in Windsor and Essex County, with the Sun Parlour Players, UMEI Players, Windsor Light Opera, The Purple Theatre Company, Kingsville Repertory Players, the musical group Circle Game (Bob, Tracey, Marty and Mary), and as frequent guitar accompanist for wife Tracey Atin. He has composed music for his math classes, for Circle Game songs, for the family musicals Fearless Frieda and the Giant and Second Banana, Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream and for Korda's production of The Hobbit. Thanks to Tracey and Jeff for the encouragement. |
 Kelly Ridley Costume Designer |
Kelly has got scads of experience making historical reproduction costumes as well as some less traditional garments and accessories and enjoys the freedom and challenge of designing for the stage. She has worked with Korda Productions on The Hobbit, Psycho Beach Party, The Learned Ladies and last year's Cinderella. |
