The Learned Ladies Artistic Committee


Jeff Marontate
Director 		After managing the madness of Korda's Psycho Beach Party, Resident Director Jeff Marontate returns to the classics with The Learned Ladies. His past directorial credits include such "standards" as Lysistrata, Twelfth Night, The Taming of the Shrew and The School for Scandal, and the modern musicals The Rocky Horror Show, Li'l Abner and Return to the Forbidden Planet. As always, Jeff thanks (and admires!) his producer and designers for their work, courage, generosity and energy.

Tracey Atin
Executive Producer 		Tracey is a busy and versatile producer. Her efforts for Korda have now brought six productions to Windsor stages, providing entertainment for thousands of theatre-goers. Coming off a 2004 season that included The Hobbit, How I Learned To Drive and Psycho Beach Party, Tracey looks forward to another year filled with unexpected and rewarding moments beneath the lights.

Beth Lyster
Stage Manager 		A freelance Stage Manager for the last ten years, Ms. Lyster's credits include: Vox Animae (Gina Lori Riley Dance Enterprises); Psycho Beach Party, The Hobbit and The Rocky Horror Show (Korda Productions); L'il Abner (Rose City Rising Stars); Twelfth Night (Theatre Windsor); and As You Like It (University Players, ASM).

April Glover
Stage Manager 		This is April's first stint for Korda on the other side of the stage. She has previously performed with the company in The Rocky Horror Show. She also can be seen on the always-unpredictable stage of The Purple Theatre Company. She earns a living as part of the Morning Show on The Rock 95.1 FM.

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 and Psycho Beach Party.

Raven Ridley
Properties Master 		I am a self taught artisan, who has been lucky enough to have experiences such as being instructed by an Inuit Artist and trained by a Master Bladesmith. Over the last fifteen years I have worked with just about every material from bone to glass and made contemporary jewelry to historically accurate weapons. I have been involved in The Society for Creative Anachronism for over thirteen years, two years as London's head of Arts and Science. I enjoy the challenge of knowing what is needed and wanted for the end result and figuring out how to achieve it.

Daniel Nolin
Art and Scenic Designer 		Daniel previously created the poster and logo art for Korda's The Rocky Horror Show, The Hobbit, Psycho Beach Party and now has done the same for The Learned Ladies. He also designed the sets for Psycho Beach Party and the show you are about to see.

Tom Savage
Lighting Designer & Technical Director 		As a member of I.A.T.S.E. Local 580 Tom mostly plies his trade at the Chrysler Theatre. This is his fourth production with Korda — he was the Pyrotechnician for The Rocky Horror Show, Flyman for The Hobbit and Lighting Designer for Psycho Beach Party.
