Psycho Beach Party Artistic Committee

Jeff Marontate Director	Jeff Marontate has directed more than 25 plays with local theatres and high schools during the past 11 years. Psycho Beach Party is his third Korda show, but hopefully not his last! Jeff thanks Tracey Atin for her endless courage and the trust she has placed in him, and Beth Lyster for being his highly organized right hand. When he is not busy as Resident Director for Korda Productions, Jeff teaches dramatic arts and English at Massey Secondary School, where he is proud to introduce to his students the classics, onstage and in the classroom. Under his direction, the students of Massey S.S. have presented works by Shakespeare (The Comedy of Errors, A Midsummer Night's Dream and As You Like It) and Molière (The Imaginary Cuckold, The Forced Marriage, The Flying Doctor and The Doctor in Spite of Himself).
Tracey Atin Executive Producer	Tracey is a busy and versatile performer. Her last two shows were How I Learned to Drive with BreatheArt and Korda Productions, and Swingtime Canteen with the Windsor Light Opera.
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); The Hobbit (Korda Productions); 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).
Kelly Ridley Costume Designer	Following the success of The Hobbit, Kelly Ridley was pleased to accept the job of resident costumer for Korda Productions. Kelly has got scads of experience making historical reproduction costumes, as well as some less traditional garments and accessories, and is excited about both the freedom and the challenges that designing for the stage offers. Kelly literally grew up in Windsor theatre, the daughter of a director and a costumer, and says that working with Korda is in many ways like coming home.
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.
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 third production with Korda — he was the Pyrotechnician for The Rocky Horror Show and a Flyman for The Hobbit.
Daniel Nolin Art and Scenic Designer	Daniel previously created the poster and logo art for Korda's The Rocky Horror Show and The Hobbit. He has has done the same for Psycho Beach Party, and has also designed the set you are about to see.
