Hi everyone, it's Tracy again at YQG in Bloom and we are back at the KordaZone Theatre in
Windsor, Ontario, located on Seminole Street in Ford City.
To talk to a few of the board members from this KordaZone Theatre, we have Mark Wurlsley,
who is a board member and pretty much does everything else, as well as Joey Wright, another
board member.
And again, you guys do everything here.
It's amazing.
Thank you for being here today.
Oh, it's a pleasure to be here.
Thanks for having us.
So, tell us about this theatre, because I mean, realistically, until a couple months
ago, I hadn't even heard of it and now I've been here like three times and seen a show.
Yeah, we like to think of ourselves as Windsor's best kept secret.
We have a wonderful, inclusive, warm, welcoming space and we put on some fantastic shows and
people are just very enthusiastic to be a part of the shows and people, we have regular
people that come all the time to see the shows and we just love what we do.
And the shows are of all different varieties, you know, plays, musicals, poetry readings,
anything you could think of, we'll put on our stage here.
Well, within reason.
Within reason.
Yeah.
Now, how many shows do you guys put on a year?
It varies.
Sometimes it's five, sometimes it's six.
About a decade ago, I think we did seven or eight per year.
It just really depends on the types of shows that we do, the scope of the set build and
the rehearsal process.
Sometimes shows only rehearse for three months, sometimes shows rehearse for six months.
It really just depends on the shows that we've selected for that season and how long the
rehearsal time is going to be.
Now this is a great space.
How long has it been here?
Well, I believe from the little bit of research that I did that it was built in the early
50s and it started, if you look at the capstone at the top of the building, it started as
the Croatian club originally in Windsor and then it's been a number of things I believe
over the years and for the last 30 or so years it's been the Maltese club downstairs and
they are our landlords.
I think Corda has been in this space for, I want to say 2010, 2008.
We've been here for quite a while.
Wow.
Yeah.
I know you guys put on a ton of really good productions just from what we were talking
about today.
I had no idea the Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Evil Dead and if you're looking on Spotify
or YouTube you can see the backdrop here and this is for the upcoming production of The
Trench that's coming in June of 2024 here and you're also going to be rehearsing for
Three Musketeers so it's just non-stop.
And Frankenstein after The Three Musketeers.
When's The Three Musketeers playing?
That opens in September.
Okay and then Frankenstein would be probably around the Halloween.
October, close to the end of October.
Are you guys doing Rocky Horror again?
Not this year although we've had many people say we should do it more often.
Yes, requests for annual performance of Rocky Horror.
Now I know I was looking online and right now you guys are doing the application process
for next year's plays.
That's right.
So size to size, what is the process?
Wrestling.
We have a wrestling match, the board members all throw it.
And whoever wins gets it.
No honestly this year we did things a little differently.
We did a public announcement of, you know, we were looking for proposals from directors
and a big part of that was that we would like to increase our scope.
Like we want not always the same people putting the shows together.
We want to see new blood.
We want to see people, we want to see minorities.
We want to see, you know, less represented communities and stuff on our stage coming
forward with their own creative ideas.
So we went with a, you know, a public request for proposals for people to come forward and
say hey I'd love to do this on your stage.
And now as a board we'll be having a meeting probably early next month.
Yeah sometime in June.
To basically go through all these proposals and then come up with what we think is the
best fit for our style and what we want to put forward for audiences here.
Something that we've always tried to do is we always try to do a Canadian show.
We try to do a show that's written by a woman.
We try to do a classical every year whether it's Shakespeare or a Greek, one of the old
Greek plays, tragedies or comedies.
And then we do a kids show every December.
We do a panto.
So those are the four shows we always try to cover with the season that we pick.
And then there's usually one to three just kind of extra shows that we throw on.
But next month we'll be looking at the proposals and seeing what fits with the shows we've
already selected and what works well and complements the rest of the season.
How many people can fit in here at the Quarta that you can sell tickets for?
Usually we max out with using this stage at about 100 people.
Oh that's not bad.
Now I know you said the second stage is where the seats are being held right now.
Do you use that stage that often?
We've used it before.
We haven't used it since I think Best Man.
Yeah that would have been the last one.
So that would have been February of, no, April of last year was the last time we used that
stage for our performance of the Best Man.
This year we're trying to keep everything on one stage so that we don't have to change
all of all the lights, all the sounds, all the tech.
It's just easier to try to keep it on one stage for a longer period of time than trying
to flip back and forth between shows.
And then I know people can also rent this out as well because my friend Jill from Mom
Said Duck just had her Mother's Night out on her poetry reading.
Yeah and that's another thing we like being accessible to the public.
Not just for our own uses and the shows we want to put on but we like it to be a creative
space that anyone can access.
We don't charge a lot of money for rentals but we have people do things like Jill's poetry
reading which was a lot of fun, great success.
We've got film crew coming in here.
A student film is going to be filming here for one evening coming up.
We've done comedy shows.
Comedy shows, yeah.
All sorts of stuff.
I mean if people need a stage, as long as we don't have anything going on, we have a
stage.
Yeah well you guys do improv too, right?
Very badly.
Not good improv.
But no, we do have, we have done improv shows here before and we have an improv group that's
been working here weekly trying to build up their skill set and starting in June we have
another group coming in here to work with us and do some improv shows and that's going
to be a lot of fun because they're really talented people and really funny people and
it brings new faces in the door too which is something we always like to see.
Yeah, do you guys do improv?
Mark does.
You don't?
I don't.
Not my cup of tea.
Come on.
We'll get him in there.
I do improv when it's not being performed in front of people.
That's what I do improv.
I'm funny when nobody else is around and as soon as people around forget it.
Yeah, no, it's a lot of fun and some of the people we've had here that I've learned from
have been really, really great and I'm not particularly good compared to them but it's
still a lot of fun.
If you're with the right people that know what they're doing, they can cover for you
when you make a mistake.
I love a good improv.
Is that going to be, you said in June this year?
Yes, I think we have five shows scheduled starting in June for the rest of this year.
Nice.
Yeah, so that will definitely be on our Facebook page and all that kind of stuff.
And the website as well.
And the website.
Yeah, I like your website.
It gives all the information.
We got to give a special shout out to Christopher Lawrence Menard.
100%.
He is the caretaker of that website and he built it from scratch and he maintains it.
He was also a founding member of Korda.
Yeah, Christopher has been around for a long time here at Korda and he puts a lot of emphasis
and hard work on making sure that the website's up to date with the current show, if there's
rehearsal or, sorry, auditions, events coming up, our contact information, all that kind
of stuff.
He does a fabulous job.
And I mean, you guys do too.
Actually, everybody does because it's all volunteer work because you're not for profit,
which is amazing that you guys have been able to do this for so long.
Yeah, and it's interesting because it's something I'm, I had a conversation with this, about
this with my wife the other day.
The number of people that have cycled through here and, you know, they're here for a few
shows, maybe two, three years and they're, you know, maybe they're coming out of school
and they're moving on to other things and they just create, they contribute so much
and then move forward and go on to other things in life, but it's just such a wide variety
of people and incredible personalities you get to work with, just people who love doing
it.
But also as well, you know, we try to make this a very inclusive space, a space where
you can grow, you can learn, you can experience new things, try new things with all of the
shows we put on.
And we've had several people, so we call it graduate, from Corda to go work at the Stratford
Festival.
Wow.
And we have a director, is an actor up there right now.
Matt Burgess is a journeyman in the prop department.
He's on his third year at Stratford.
We've had a number of people come from small beginnings here at Corda to go on and do a
number of things.
Ellie Moon in Toronto, Katie Kerr's been in a few shows here and then she's been gone
on to be very successful as well.
So we like to think of Corda as a nice jumping off point.
Well, it's perfect.
You get out of school and then you come here, but you're not just saying actor.
You have a lot of hats when you come to work here in the productions.
Yeah.
And I mean, we do a lot of work.
Tracy Aitin, our founder, she's fantastic with the kids and like we do a lot of kids
summer programs here.
And they have the opportunity to learn whatever they want to learn.
You know, if they want to get involved with tech, they can get involved with tech.
If they want to learn how to paint a set or build a set, they can learn that.
If they want to learn how to act or sing, dance, whatever you want, then that's something
that...
Now that's a summer program?
Yes.
Now, what's the age group for that?
I don't think we have it worked out yet for this year.
And in the past, it's been what, from nine to end of high school?
I think it's seven to 12 and then 13 to 18 is usually the age.
You know, when the kids come in, they learn all about a show, how to start the process,
blocking a show, designing a set, building a set, building props, working with props,
how things work backstage during the show, how to, you know, costuming.
But we also do that with the full shows, not just summer program.
It's not, you know, you get cast as a part in a show and you're just an actor.
It's very much a group effort to build the show from the bottom up with the set, with
costumes, with props, with makeup, with singing, with dancing and everything else.
It's very much we try to lean on the strengths of everybody else.
Georgie is helping out with the trench makeup because she's very strong in that area of
theater.
Yeah.
And then we have Chaperone, which we just finished recently, the amount of actors that
showed up to paint, you know, do little touches here and there.
Our lead actress was painting set to the moment before we did our first dress rehearsal, you
know.
It's a wonderful place to contribute and people really feel comfortable enough to contribute
however they want to and however they can.
They're just engaged.
Oh yeah.
They can stretch their wings a little bit, as to say, and then figure out that maybe,
okay, I want to be an actress, I want to be an actress, but then they get behind the seats
and it's like, oh, well maybe I like set design a little bit more or I can do makeup and it
really widens their horizon and helps because it's a hard job to get into.
So, yeah.
And I mean, we have student-age people that have worked a ton with like lighting and sound
and stuff in this theater and are going on to do that as a career, like going to school
for that after they leave here kind of thing.
Well, yeah, because it's perfect because what University of Windsor and even St. Clair College,
they have really good media design, acting, drama programs, and then come here and get
stuff under your belt and figure yourself out too before you go on.
Yeah, and it's nice too that we have a very good relationship with Walkerville.
So a lot of the students from there come here.
I forgot about Walkerville, yeah.
Yeah, we actually have a partnership where we're, CORDA and Walkerville are working together
to produce a show this year.
Oh, I can't remember the show though.
Forbidden Planet?
No, that's next year.
That's next year.
Yeah.
We're working together to do a show this year at Walkerville that opens just before Trench
does.
Okay.
And then next year we're working on Jeff Marrentette, who's another board member here.
He's a retired teacher.
He was head of the WCCA department over at Walkerville for a number of years, is working
with Walkerville now and doing Return to the Forbidden Planet next year, which is being
designed by David Corte and being built by Matt Burgess up in Stratford.
And all that's going to be done at the Walkerville Theater, sorry, the Walkerville School Auditorium
Theater next year.
Now how many board members are there?
You've mentioned a few of them.
Seven or eight?
I think it's seven or eight.
Seven or eight?
Something like that.
Yeah.
Takes a village.
Yep.
It really does.
And I mean, we all contribute in different ways.
We've got people that specialize in doing social media and marketing.
We've got people that specialize in doing tech.
Like that's one of the things I love is getting involved with building and doing the tech and
being on stage occasionally.
And Joey's our treasurer.
I'm the fun police.
Let's be honest.
I'm the fun police.
Mark wants to buy all of these new techie things and I have to say no, Mark.
100%.
You cannot buy the new techie things.
No.
We have to reuse material.
Yeah.
We're not getting the techie stuff.
Honestly, if you ever want to set an example of what true recycling looks like, come to
a community theater.
Because the show we just finished, I was reusing set pieces from a show we did six, eight years
ago, cutting it up and rebuilding it into something new.
Well, and that's the beauty of a community theater and a not for profit is there's no
money involved per se other than the tickets that will be able to keep this going.
But people are here because they really love what they do.
This is a passion project on top of their regular day jobs.
It's true.
And I mean, don't get us wrong.
We certainly do pay our professionals.
There are like we would we pay what we can for, you know, whoever's working tech and
all that kind of stuff.
If we have music director, a choreographer, we have musicians, we definitely always pay.
That's part of our budget.
If a show does well enough, we try to do honorariums for cast too, as well.
Because that's really what it comes down to is we're not here to, we are a not for profit.
We are the purest example of we are here to do something we love and to help other people
do things that they love.
And to me, that's better.
Yeah, it really is.
Like like you alluded to, we have we have day jobs.
We pay the bills bills with our day jobs and we come here to have fun, to have fun and
do something we love.
Now what is um, Korda Convos?
I happen to find that and I don't even remember if it was on your Instagram or your website.
No, we haven't done one for a while, but it was our version of TED talk.
So we had, I think we had three, because we had Nat Friesen, Angelo and Dave Cormier.
Yeah.
They all have their own specialties.
And they came in and they did a brief 45 minute hour long talk about their specialties and
how that sort of relates to life, theater in general and just anything like that.
Yeah, we haven't done one since last year.
Yeah.
I mean, they're always very topical discussions.
Dave did a discussion on AI in education.
Nat did genetics, gender, gender fluidity and genetics and all that kind of stuff.
Um, Angelo, I don't, I didn't see Angelo's, I don't remember what his was about.
I didn't get a chance to see it either.
But yeah, no, it's, it's something we wanted to do something a little different to, you
know, use the space and bring people in and just, yeah.
Why not?
And understand, give it a little understanding what goes into it and all the different thought
processes.
Yeah.
And I mean, this was a, it was the brainchild of Kim Babb, one of our, one of our board
members.
What's that?
We're going to start having to list them all off eventually.
Yes.
So that nobody feels offended or left out.
No, it was just, we're always thinking of new ways, new things we can do to use the
space because quite frankly, if we're not using the space, we're losing money.
And not again, not in a profit kind of way, but in a, we need to pay to keep the place
open.
But not only that, it was just something interesting and something new that Kim just thought would
be a good idea.
And it was quite successful.
We had some good response from it and we're always looking for new stuff like that.
Do you guys rent this out to just anybody?
Like, can photographers use it as sets, backdrops?
Absolutely.
I mean, we've, we've filmed movie scenes here, as I mentioned, what are some of the other
stuff we've rented for?
Well Jemma, one of the board members, also a filmmaker, also a filmmaker.
She did a documentary called Being Taylor, which follows a local standup comedian and
sort of her journey to discover herself as well as her comedy, which culminated in a
comedy night here that was filmed and that was all turned into a documentary for CBC.
But we've had music videos recorded in here.
We've had-
The Bishop Boys.
We've had short films recorded.
And it really all depends on what the people want.
If it's close to a show, there's going to be a set.
So if they can work around the set, we have no problem renting to them.
If there's nothing going on and they need a blank stage, well, we have a blank black
box stage.
Now, like I said, I just heard about you guys in the last probably few months, but I noticed
there's a rise in the Windsor-Essex County area of people being interested in seeing
plays, whether it's here or the Capitol or there's another theater around here.
People just seem to be more interested in it.
Are you guys finding it or is it just me noticing it?
I don't think it's people are more interested.
I think it's just becoming a little bit more mainstream here in town.
Windsor, I mean, CORDA celebrated its 20th anniversary last year.
We've been around for this is our 21st season.
But there's been loads of community theaters here in town, whether it's CORDA, Cardinal
Music Productions, ACT, Windsor Light, post productions.
There's always been community theater happening.
It's just now I think people are starting to look for something new and interesting
to do and they've sort of rediscovered the stage.
Well, now that we don't really have movies.
We only have one movie theater in town.
It's one of the things that struck me when I first started being involved with the theater
in Kingsville is what a wealth of talent we have in the area.
We do.
Windsor, it's, you know, we have a bit of a reputation for being a lunch bucket town
where, you know, we're an automotive town and we just, you know, we like our cars and
we don't do much else.
Southern, you know, we go to movies, there's not much to do.
But really, you look around and all those groups that Joey mentioned there, like they're
always doing fantastic work.
And this barely a weekend goes by in the summer or actually throughout the year where you
can't find something on a stage somewhere that's interesting and innovative.
It's very true.
Like throughout the year, you're hard pressed to find a weekend where there's not some sort
of theater going on somewhere in town.
I mean, just this year we have six shows and all six shows run for three weekends.
So there's 18 weekends of the year.
Windsor Light does two weekends.
I don't even know how many shows Post Productions is doing or Cardinal.
You're more likely to find a weekend with a show happening than not.
Even the Capitol Theater, they just housed a children's production of Disney's Newsies.
But I went to see it during the day.
It was almost like a dress rehearsal before it was opening.
What struck me was a lot of it was all high school students, but a lot of high schools
came in to watch it.
That's who they were performing for.
And they loved it.
They were right into it.
And it was really fascinating to see young kids being excited about the theater.
Well, yeah.
And I mean, that was Arts Collective Theater did that.
And even today, Riverfront has Madagascar opening at the Capitol, I believe.
Madagascar Junior.
And that's part of it is the people that sit on our board, some of them have come from
or were those kids that came from nine, 10 year olds that grew up in this building and
have gone on to be a drama teacher, to be a filmmaker, to do careers in the arts, because
there's just so much of it.
And it is such an enthusiasm for it.
And I think it's part of our mission, really, indirectly, is to let the rest of Windsor
know that, hey, this exists.
When you see people saying there's nothing to do in Windsor, no, you're wrong.
You're wrong.
There's so much to do in Windsor.
And it's incredible, too.
I've introduced many people to theater for the first time.
They've come to see a show and they've went, this is so much better than seeing a movie
and it's cheaper.
A ticket to one of our shows is 25 bucks.
But you're seeing a live performance in front of you that's an entire night of entertainment.
And if you want popcorn, you can go buy popcorn for $3.
Joey loves his popcorn.
I do love my popcorn.
For under 30 bucks, you get to see a show, get some popcorn and get a popper water.
And have a great night.
And have a wonderful evening.
You nailed it on the head.
We are known as a lunchbox town, and maybe we are a lunchbox town, but we are figuring
out ways to release that energy that we have and to find our creativity again.
And to laugh, smile.
That's not all we are.
No.
We are far more than that.
No, we are.
And we're very creative, Vin.
We do what we gotta do to get through the day, but then after, we have a lot of creative
people, whether it's in the theater or in the film or even just arts and crafts or production.
100%.
And I mean, I come from an engineering career, and I've done a lot of work at various plants
around Windsor.
And I would walk through Ford Essex Engine and go to a meeting there and see in somebody's
booth a poster for a local show.
Because this is, like I said, it's more than, we're not just the factories.
These are a huge part of who we are, but we are a creative community too, and it's huge.
It's growing.
Yeah, and more people like yourself are coming to learn that.
And the people that came for Mom Said Ducks event the other night, which was very funny,
I had so many people come up to me and said, how come I didn't know about this place?
Right?
Well, and it's just, it's a comfortable, homey feel.
These chairs are from the audience, and it's just warm and comfortable, and it's not stark
and cold and very formal.
You can come here and really enjoy yourself.
Absolutely.
Sometimes too much.
I get in trouble because I spend too much time here.
I would.
I love this place.
It does.
It feels like home when you walk in here.
Yeah.
I mean, right now I'm here five days a week rehearsing for Trench and for Three Musketeers.
So my partner's like, so I'm never going to see you until June?
No.
Okay, great.
So think of a vacation.
It's really easy to jump into shows.
I want to do this show.
And overindulge.
And overindulge, but it's because it's just, like you said, it's warm, it's welcoming.
We're here to have fun.
We're here to put on the best shows that we can, but we're also here to build a community
to support the artists and whether that's acting, singing, dancing, painting, designing,
lights.
There's so much art that goes into a show that a lot of people don't realize.
They just, they think about theater and they go, oh, well, actors.
And it's like, right, but what about backstage?
What about all the costumes?
What about the makeup?
All of that.
And we try to grow that here, to support and to encourage and to really give everybody
that comes in here a solid foundation and that confidence to pursue that, whether it's
just as a hobby or professionally.
Now, you said you're going to be involved in Trench and Three Musketeers.
What are your roles in that one?
I am acting in the Trench.
I'm one of the chorus members.
For Three Musketeers, I am the director and the producer.
You really have your hat on and everything.
And he just finished up as the producer of Drowsy Chaperone and yeah.
And what about you?
Are you involved in any of these ones?
So not the Trench so much.
I will help out.
I will definitely be building set for Three Musketeers and Frankenstein.
And I'm lucky enough to be cast in Frankenstein too.
So I'll be, I'll have my hands full.
I'll be busy.
What are you going to be in Frankenstein?
I'm Captain Walton in Frankenstein.
Nice.
Are you going to be in Frankenstein too?
No, I have been voluntold to take a break after Three Musketeers.
My partner and I, we just bought a house and we just got engaged.
So we're going to take that time after Three Musketeers to settle in and plan stuff because
I don't do enough planning.
You're busy.
Yeah.
You know, day job, this job, at home.
And I say kudos to you guys.
I don't know where you get the energy for it, but.
Oh, there's no energy.
That's why we've got comfy chairs for napping in.
Yeah.
That's what the couches are for.
Take a power nap when you're in the middle of painting a set.
You wouldn't believe how many times I've seen actors and members of this theater taking
a nap on those couches.
Hey, those are comfortable couches.
I would too.
They are.
And like I said, people work a full time job and you come here, especially right before
a show and you're there every night.
People come here and they like, I'm going to take a nap for 20 minutes before the cast
gets here.
Why not?
Now, if people want to get involved in this, in Cortisone, how do they do it?
How can they get in touch with you guys?
Honestly, the best way is probably through our Facebook presence.
We have a Cortisone Artistic Productions Facebook group and we also have a Cortisone Theatre
group and our website always has information about new stuff.
We're always interested in having people volunteer.
They reach out, they can send us an email at cortisone.gmail.com.
But also too, if you're looking to get involved in a particular show, we post our audition
processes on our website, on Facebook.
And even if you're not cast in the show, we still need help backstage, working front of
house, set build, set paint, makeup, tech.
Like you said earlier, it takes a village.
So it's definitely...
It takes more than a village.
Yeah, it takes a small town.
But definitely follow us on Facebook.
We have an Instagram page as well where we try to put as many of our announcements as
possible out there.
Check out our website as it's updated very often with auditions, with upcoming events,
upcoming shows, all our contact information, our emails on there, our phone numbers on
there.
And we're always, always looking for new talent, new people, just anybody interested in anything,
any part of particular part of theater.
If you can hold a tool in your hand.
And then you're hired.
Yeah.
A tool, a paintbrush.
That's something I...
Yeah.
Give us a shout.
And if not, come and see the shows.
100%.
You can find it out in the info there.
That's why we do it.
Like we want to entertain people, right?
But obviously we would like to see every one of these seats filled for every one of our
shows.
It's not always the case.
Sometimes it's difficult.
But that is our goal.
We want to entertain people.
Well, I definitely want to come and see The Trench.
I just did the one podcast with Georgie and...
And Jeremy.
Jeremy, the director.
And it sounds like a really interesting, interesting production.
It's a very interesting show.
It's definitely not a show I've ever done from an actor or a director standpoint.
Jeremy's vision is incredible.
And the way we've gone about the rehearsal process and the images that Jeremy built with
Nicole, who's the set designer, and then with the rest of the cast, what we're doing and
the imagery we're bringing forth and the story that we're telling is just absolutely incredible.
And I'm very excited for people to see that show.
Yeah, because it is a minor that is stuck.
It's based off of a poem from World War I about a minor who gets trapped underneath
the trenches of World War I.
Speaking as an outsider, I happened to sit in on maybe 25 minutes of the rehearsal downstairs
not with no set or anything and just watching the movements and listening to the dialogue
and seeing the performances and realizing that this show is unlike anything I've ever
seen before.
Yeah, because it's basically one man being stuck, but the chorus are extensions of him.
Correct.
Which is sounds really good.
We operate as not only extensions of Burt, the minor that's been trapped, but we also
operate as the trench itself.
We are the set, we're the props, we're the creatures and the people that Burt encounters
on his journey to try to escape this collapsed trench.
Because it starts off very sort of footed in the real world, but it does take a, I don't
want to say fantastical turn, but it definitely turns into something that is not of the ordinary
as he makes his journey through the trench and through not just the trench, but through
his own life as he tries to escape.
I can't wait to see the show because that's really going to show creative abilities as
actors and actresses to bring that across to everybody.
And I think that's something that we alluded to earlier is we do a wide variety of shows.
We try to do, you know, we do the classics, we do the musicals, we do the straight plays
and we do the lesser known stuff like the trench.
And we hope that, you know, the bigger shows build the audience and bring in the revenue
to allow us to do some of the stuff that is lesser known, but much more, maybe not much
more, but definitely more on the creative side, allow you to a little more creative
license with how you do a show.
And as you can see from looking around, this is going to be a very, very interesting presentation.
Because it's the first time it's being performed in Canada.
Yes.
I'm really, really excited because it allows your imagination as viewer watching it to
just imagine everything because you can't make a trench on stage.
You kind of have to.
We told Jeremy that.
Yes.
No dirt.
Well, Mark, Joey, I really appreciate you guys taking the time out to tell us a little
bit more about this theater and everything that you guys have put into it.
And I really, really hope that Windsor seizes and gets behind you guys and helps out and
comes to see the shows.
Well, thank you.
I appreciate the opportunity.
Thank you so much.
Thanks for coming by.
Thank you.
We love to talk about our theater.
That's for sure.
Yeah, we do.
I'm starting to really love this theater and I am definitely going to be coming back.
Well, we need to get you on the stage then.
Yes, that's not going to happen.
This is it.
I've been on twice.
And yeah, my acting abilities are zero.
So anyway, my name is Tracy Martens and I want to thank you for joining me for another
episode of YQG In Bloom here at the KordaZone Theater.
You all have a wonderful day.
