1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,800
Hey there, my name is Tracy Martens and thank you for joining me for another episode of

2
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,600
YQG In Bloom.

3
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:19,560
And today we are on stage at the KordaZone Theatre in Windsor, Ontario and I am talking

4
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:25,760
to the director and one of the actresses of an upcoming play called The Trench.

5
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,640
So I have Jeremy Burke and Georgie Savoie.

6
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:30,920
Thank you guys for being here today.

7
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,560
Thank you for having us.

8
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,080
I really appreciate this.

9
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,560
Now what is The Trench?

10
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:41,800
Yeah, it's a play written in the UK not too long ago.

11
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:49,520
It's about, it's inspired by the true story of a miner in the First World War who got

12
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,720
buried underground while digging trenches.

13
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:58,380
The play kind of takes that story, mixes it with kind of some old Greek myths of Orpheus

14
00:00:58,380 --> 00:01:06,160
in the underworld, etc. etc. and gives this fantastical, larger than life, poetic story

15
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:11,120
about like the human spirit and about grief and this character, Burke, has to face these

16
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,840
trials as the world kind of comes to life around him and we question like what is real

17
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,040
and what is what matters.

18
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,000
Now did you pick this play to do?

19
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,800
Yes, I pitched this.

20
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:27,000
Originally I actually pitched this pre-pandemic and we did start rehearsing and it had to

21
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,000
be cancelled.

22
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,000
We had to be able to do it again.

23
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
I've loved this play for a long time.

24
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,920
It's a short, beautiful, poetic little play and yeah, I was excited that I was able to

25
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,240
pitch it and that they wanted to do it.

26
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:45,920
Yeah, because I had never heard about it and I was on the Cortisone website and I was reading

27
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,640
up on it and it sounds like a really fascinating show.

28
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,560
I can't wait to see it.

29
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,280
And are you acting in it as well?

30
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,280
No, no, no.

31
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,080
I would be too much.

32
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,040
It's a very physical and visual show so you really need the outside eye.

33
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,320
If I was like on stage, which I don't like doing it the same time of directing anyways,

34
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:09,000
but if I was on stage I wouldn't be able to have that like audience visual of the images

35
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,000
we're making.

36
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,760
And you, Georgie, who do you play?

37
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,640
I play chorus member number one.

38
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:17,800
I never leave the stage.

39
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:23,400
The cast is comprised of Burt and then four chorus members who all play different roles

40
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,100
throughout the play.

41
00:02:25,100 --> 00:02:29,140
We were discussing in a rehearsal recently like the differences in characters and I play

42
00:02:29,140 --> 00:02:32,520
more of a like maternal caring figure.

43
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,240
Oh cool.

44
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,280
Because I know you are in a lot of different plays here at the KordaZone Theatre.

45
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,880
How long have you been here?

46
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,840
At Korda, just about a year.

47
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,320
My first show was with Rocky Horror, which we did in October and we started rehearsals

48
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,160
around this time about a year ago.

49
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,920
Since I've done Cycle Beach Party and the Drossie Chaperone and After the Trench I'm

50
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:52,920
going to be in Three Musketeers.

51
00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:53,920
Oh my goodness.

52
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:58,560
Oh he's got, so you have a real love for the stage.

53
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:03,360
I got my BFA in acting at the University of Windsor, just graduated a year ago.

54
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,720
And you're already so busy.

55
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:11,600
Now do you only work here at the Corta or do you do other performances?

56
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,360
Recently did a show with SHO, Arts, Beard and Performance.

57
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,800
It was a show for schools called New Canadian Kid.

58
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,320
It was about immigration.

59
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:23,520
Oh, I think I saw that one on their website about it.

60
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,400
And how long have you been with Korda?

61
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:35,080
My first show with Korda was probably 2018, 2019, the summer of one of those years.

62
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,800
I can't remember.

63
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:42,480
And yeah, I just kind of fell in love with the group here and the team and the people.

64
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,320
I mean it's about the people.

65
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,160
The community and community theater is really important to me.

66
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,120
And Corta was really good at fostering that community.

67
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,800
And so I've been doing shows on and off with them for a while.

68
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,640
Yeah, and I'm happy to.

69
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,520
I was acting, I've done some set design on shows and now I'm directing some shows and

70
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:01,720
it's been super fun.

71
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,360
Now when you do directing, do you also work with the set design as well?

72
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:11,280
Because I know I saw you and your fiancee bringing stuff in here a few weeks ago.

73
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,680
So I've done shows where the set isn't very complicated and I've directed it and done

74
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,680
the set design.

75
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:22,120
But this show, I'm very lucky to have my fiancee Nicole work on the show as the set designer.

76
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,640
I knew that the set would be, I wanted the set to be a little more complicated and a

77
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,920
little more like a piece of art in itself.

78
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,240
And I wasn't able, I knew with directing I wouldn't have the time to give it that attention.

79
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,520
And she's a very talented set designer and painter.

80
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,400
So yeah, she's going to do some really cool stuff with it.

81
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,960
We're doing a lot with stretched fabric.

82
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,920
It's kind of like this abstract depiction of an exploded life.

83
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:51,480
So there's like pieces of like picture frames and old radios and doilies and like baby cribs

84
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,120
like exploded throughout the set.

85
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,800
Like his life has just been upended when everything collapsed.

86
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,520
So it's going to be very visual.

87
00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:59,520
Yeah.

88
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:00,520
With the background.

89
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:01,520
Yeah.

90
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:02,520
Oh my goodness.

91
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:03,520
Yeah.

92
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,300
And the way we're doing it, like the chorus members, the set's important because the chorus

93
00:05:07,300 --> 00:05:10,320
members are really like from the earth.

94
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,040
They're like part of the environment.

95
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,360
So their costumes are really going to tie in with the fabrics in the set so that it

96
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,040
looks as if they were like birthed from the set itself.

97
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:26,480
They're kind of like Frankenstein together of like these different lives, I guess.

98
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:32,800
Are the costumes made specifically for this show or is it just?

99
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,480
It's a mix.

100
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:35,920
We're pulling some things from stock.

101
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,000
We're buying a few new pieces.

102
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,320
Actors bring in some pieces and we see kind of how we can do that because we're doing

103
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:43,960
a cobbled look.

104
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,640
It works out that we can kind of pull from different sources and like, oh, we're going

105
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,460
to add a different sleeve to this shirt or, you know, this fits.

106
00:05:49,460 --> 00:05:52,680
So we'll use that as the base and then we'll like add stuff on top.

107
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:57,000
I've heard a lot of people talk about this and I had never heard about it until I came

108
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,520
here a couple of weeks ago.

109
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,760
In fact, that was the first time I'd ever been in the KordaZone Theater.

110
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,960
So I love it.

111
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,800
It is very, very nice.

112
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,560
Now have you guys started selling the tickets for the show yet?

113
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:18,040
No, the ticket link should go up in just a few weeks from when we're filming this.

114
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,480
We are April 27th.

115
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:25,200
And we're using ShowPass to sell tickets online and then tickets will also be available at

116
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:30,360
the door or there is a KordaZone phone number, I wish I knew off the top of my head, that

117
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,800
you could probably call and reserve tickets.

118
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,440
But you can find all that info on cortisone.com once it's up.

119
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:42,440
Yeah, because KordaZone is really, it's been here forever, but it seems in the last year

120
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,560
or so it's really gained a lot of momentum and a lot of followers.

121
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:53,120
So any of the shows you want to see, especially this one, you get tickets while you can because

122
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,800
how many people does this fit?

123
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,400
Usually it depends on the show.

124
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:58,880
Usually we can fit about 100.

125
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,240
Sometimes we stretch that a little bit.

126
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,240
It depends.

127
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:06,400
But yeah, a few of our, especially our musicals recently have sold out the rest of their run

128
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:07,840
quite often.

129
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:12,360
So yeah, get tickets while you can generally.

130
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,480
It sneaks up on you when things sell out.

131
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,320
And when is this one running?

132
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,400
This one opens on June 14th.

133
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,400
Thank you.

134
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:22,400
I was like, it's not 16th.

135
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,560
This one opens on June 14th and runs for three weekends.

136
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,560
So it pretty much goes to the end of June.

137
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,160
And are you going to be doing anything else after the trench?

138
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,680
Do you have anything lined up?

139
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:36,320
Yeah, there's things in the works as always.

140
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:41,080
And I think Korda is going to have, regardless, is going to have a really cool season next

141
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,320
year with a lot of shows.

142
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:49,400
Yeah, because they just put up that call on Instagram for the directors to get your ideas

143
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:50,400
in.

144
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:51,400
Yeah.

145
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,120
So I have one of those written, but no, no guarantee.

146
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,120
Yeah.

147
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,600
And then I also work with some other companies and stuff.

148
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,640
Oh, so you also work elsewhere.

149
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:00,640
Yeah.

150
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,400
I'm I just was the scenic designer for St. Clair College for Cats.

151
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,800
So I oh, and I missed that one.

152
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:07,800
Oh, that's okay.

153
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,600
It was just tons of fun.

154
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,280
I heard it was fabulous.

155
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:12,640
Very talented students there.

156
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:13,640
Yeah.

157
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,480
And it was super fun to work on kind of that design side.

158
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,000
And I was in painting side.

159
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,740
I like I think it's really important to like appreciate and know about all the aspects

160
00:08:23,740 --> 00:08:24,740
of theater.

161
00:08:24,740 --> 00:08:28,200
I think it just makes you more versatile and generally like have a better awareness of

162
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,840
how the art making process happens and makes that go more smoothly.

163
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:33,840
For sure.

164
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:38,120
And have you thought of doing anything else like behind the scenes or do you just like

165
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:39,120
being on stage?

166
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,120
I am interested in directing.

167
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,200
I might also pitch something for next year as well.

168
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,040
Oh, that's exciting.

169
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,160
That is exciting, especially because you're so you just graduated.

170
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,160
So that's awesome.

171
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:57,680
I wish I had that kind of confidence to be able to do something like that.

172
00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:01,400
This community fosters confidence in the people who come in here.

173
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,200
Yeah, they seem to be extremely supportive.

174
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,360
And I'm really excited.

175
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,680
I am definitely getting tickets to see Trench.

176
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:15,760
Now I can't remember if I already asked you how many have you directed so far?

177
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,040
With Korda or in general?

178
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,040
In general.

179
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:22,640
Yeah, I this is only my second time directing for Korda.

180
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,160
I direct I'm directing the Trench.

181
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,280
And I directed Romeo and Juliet last year.

182
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,800
And then I've directed for some other company that directed a play called Art by Yasmine

183
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:40,600
Areza, kind of a comedy about a friend who buys a white painting and everyone's upset

184
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:41,600
about it.

185
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,160
It's that kind of stuff.

186
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,120
And I've directed some children's theaters while I like working with kids.

187
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,120
But that's about it.

188
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,120
Yeah.

189
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,040
And he's doing improv tonight.

190
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,680
And tonight I have an improv show.

191
00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:53,680
I guess we'll make it up.

192
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:54,680
Why not?

193
00:09:54,680 --> 00:09:57,320
Yeah, I think it's great to be creative.

194
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,200
And you also are you in a band?

195
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,880
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

196
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,440
I was I was I was on Instagram this morning kind of looking around.

197
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:07,840
Yeah, I'm in a band called Bitters.

198
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,320
If anyone wants to give it a listen, it's like alternative folk.

199
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,400
It's nice and chill.

200
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,080
Do you guys play around?

201
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,640
We play sometimes we're we're pretty busy people and there's six of us so it can be

202
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:18,640
hard to get together.

203
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,560
But we have a show in Toronto coming up.

204
00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:25,240
But yeah, we usually will post on our Instagram if you want to follow us there, I guess.

205
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,360
Not what I'm here to promote, but I'm happy to do it.

206
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:28,760
But you know what?

207
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:29,760
Promote yourself.

208
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:30,760
Yeah.

209
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,160
And we we post when we play.

210
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,080
So that's great.

211
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,600
And Trench, who did you pick to be the lead?

212
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:39,600
Yeah.

213
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:47,320
So we have a young gifted actor named Rylan Thomas, who's currently studying at the university

214
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,720
for his BFA in acting.

215
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,880
And he just you know, he came into the rehearsal room.

216
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,240
He was really friendly, which is a great sign.

217
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,720
I love someone I that I feel like I can work with and is responsive to direction and stuff

218
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:00,720
like that.

219
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:01,720
He was just game for anything.

220
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,360
He's just really like, yeah, this is exciting.

221
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:04,360
Let's try this.

222
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:05,880
He also had already read the play.

223
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,560
He like looked it up and read the whole play.

224
00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:09,480
I was like, well, that gets you bonus points.

225
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,040
But no, he's really dedicated to the process.

226
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,040
He's really game for anything.

227
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:19,360
And he's super physical, which is great because it's such a visceral physical show.

228
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,200
You know, we got everyone knee pads because there's a lot of crawling and sliding.

229
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:29,960
And you know, he's so good at facilitating a performance that helps everyone else on

230
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:36,400
stage like support him while still having all those emotional beats, hitting all those

231
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:37,400
moments.

232
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,680
That's a pretty heavy role for a young younger.

233
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:44,960
Yeah, we're going to age him up a little bit.

234
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,360
And who else is in the chorus?

235
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,000
So of course, we have Georgie Savoy.

236
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,880
Our other chorus members rounding out the team are Julia Pistorius, who's a great trained

237
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,000
in dance and acrobatics as well.

238
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,000
So really physical.

239
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,000
She's great.

240
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,280
Joey Wright, who's on the court of board.

241
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:03,280
He's very experienced.

242
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:04,280
He's been doing shows here for years.

243
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,480
And Brandon Chappis, who has a great like naturalism to him and really like soothing

244
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:09,640
deeper voice.

245
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:10,640
Yeah.

246
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:18,120
How does the chorus you said that they are basically showing his emotion and everything

247
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,000
that is going on?

248
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,600
Like, are they going to be just in the background or are they going to be around him?

249
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,760
Because I'm really trying to picture this.

250
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:29,760
We're everywhere.

251
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,760
Everywhere and nowhere.

252
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,720
Everywhere we're pulling pieces off of sets and interacting with him.

253
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:42,280
The play is more of a movement composition than a play where like every movement is thought

254
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:47,960
out and we're all moving as a unit around and about Bird.

255
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:53,560
And that's why I was having a hard time because like I said, reading up on it and it's like,

256
00:12:53,560 --> 00:13:01,840
how do you ask questions about a show that is very eclectic and very, like you said,

257
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:11,200
visceral and it's almost like the chorus is a piece of the main character is definitely

258
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:17,360
one that you guys are going to have to come and check it out for yourself because it really

259
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,680
sounds like it's going to be an intense show.

260
00:13:20,680 --> 00:13:22,200
Yeah, you hit it on the head there.

261
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,200
A lot of the times the chorus is so present because they are extensions of what Bird's

262
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:31,440
feeling and there's even times where they are acting as, you know, the way we've blocked

263
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:32,960
it, oh, you can't see Bird's face.

264
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,640
So another chorus member is mirroring him behind.

265
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,460
So what they're playing is what you're imagining Bird's going through.

266
00:13:39,460 --> 00:13:44,200
So they're like really weaving in and out as storytellers and as extensions of Bird.

267
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:49,280
And it's been hard, but I think it's a really rewarding style of storytelling.

268
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,520
Well how long have you guys been practicing and working on this?

269
00:13:53,520 --> 00:14:00,720
We started rehearsals in late February, I would say.

270
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,640
We usually do two a week and we're going to hop up to three soon.

271
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:09,880
Yeah, so we're almost done the blocking stage, which is kind of when you decide, like really

272
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,400
the choreography stage for this one.

273
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:17,560
And soon we'll be bringing in our two musicians for this show, which I'm really excited about.

274
00:14:17,560 --> 00:14:22,560
We have an original score composed by a friend of mine, Dylan Ionacello.

275
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:23,560
Original?

276
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:24,560
Yeah.

277
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:25,560
That's nice.

278
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,560
Yeah, so the production when it premiered had a score written for it and I wanted to

279
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:33,120
do something similar, but I wanted, you know, I knew a lot of musicians.

280
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:40,840
Dylan Ionacello, another member of Bidders, is a very gifted technical musician and so

281
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,720
he's writing a score for just acoustic guitar and cello.

282
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:49,600
That's going to be really like haunting, beautiful, kind of like hopeful and fantastical.

283
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:50,600
It's really nice.

284
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,120
It's nice to be able to put your own little mark on it.

285
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:55,120
Yeah, of course.

286
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,120
That'll be great.

287
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,760
I'm so excited.

288
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:05,760
And again, make sure that you go onto the KordaZone Theater website, Instagram, find

289
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:10,400
them, call them and get the tickets as soon as they're available because I have a feeling

290
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:17,280
this is going to sell out, especially in Windsor, Essex County, where we have so many creative

291
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,960
people and love the theater and the theater is really coming back.

292
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:28,160
I want to thank both you, Georgie and Jeremy, for being here today and I'm really excited

293
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:34,040
to see the trench and in a couple of weeks, make sure you keep an eye on Instagram, the

294
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:38,320
KordaZone Theater website for when the tickets become available.

295
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:43,440
It's going to be three weekends in June, starting June 14th.

296
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:48,960
And I have a feeling that it's going to sell out fast because Windsor, Essex County is

297
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:55,800
really into their theater, into supporting local and it's going to be tough to get seats

298
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:56,800
here.

299
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,720
So thank you so much for being here today.

300
00:15:58,720 --> 00:15:59,840
Thank you again.

301
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:00,840
Thank you.

302
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:05,200
And again, my name is Tracy Martens and thank you for joining me for another episode of

303
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,200
YQG In Bloom

304
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:13,320
You guys have a good day.
