This is Lianne’s first foray into producing a live musical and it’s been an experience she would highly recommend. Working with such a talented Directing Team, a dynamic and fun-loving cast, and a skilled production crew, Lianne’s time with the show has been a great exercise in creative and strategic thinking and she’s enjoyed every minute. And she looks forward to applying all that she’s learned to better managing the organization as Board Chair. She would also like to thank her partner Hans for all his support and for the loan of his construction skills.

When 10-year old Janet first sang at a fashion show she fell in love with the stage. High school was filled with theatrical experiences. She went on to major in theatre. It was “on the road” singing after that, until she knew she had to share her love of the arts. Enter teaching music, art, and drama and joining community theatre. Regularly now you can find her as vocalist with the Baytowne Big Band or the Cadillac Crew dance band or rehearsing with cohorts in community theatre. Not there? I guess she’s upstairs painting or cooking in the kitchen.

Chris loves living in Barrie. Gigs and rusty old motorcycles keep him happy. Now retired from full-time music teaching, team directing community theatre projects with Janet is the icing on his cake. Resident pianist with the Baytowne Big Band, straight guy with Moonglow, and subbing in with Wreckroom Elvis still allow time for Chris and Janet to perform in The Cadillac Crew. Pulling together this show band has been a hoot. These musicians are super talented and love to play. Thanks Gerry, Ralph, and Eugene!
