For this nice and hot new month, we’re interviewing a Maestro, and a retired high school Music teacher; David Morrison of the Kawartha Lakes Concert Band, an orchestra of dozens of musical geniuses. The band has a concert at the FLATO Academy Theatre June 24th at 7 p.m.! We’re also reuniting with the Imrie women; Alana, Claire, and Mama Kate, talking with us about what it’s like to program gigs at theatres and dance studios and audition processes. Our historian Ian McKechnie will be bringing us back through time when Dennis Sweeting and Hi Meehan commandeered the theatre, and how they revolutionized how the theatre was seen and how Hi liked to play movies on the big screen there. We also hear from board member Tom Collver, who is one of the founders of the Triple Threat Theatre group to talk about the upcoming Matilda play, and what it’s like being involved in the Academy’s art programs and owning a design agency.0:30 - Intro 0:59 - Academy Schedule 2:25 - David Morrison 6:40 - Imrie Women 18:40 - Iain McCechnie 26:50 - Tom Collver 38:36 - Mary 40:54 - Outro
