Bruce Dow – An Evening of Cabaret and Songs

Korda Artistic Productions is a home-grown theatre company in Windsor, Ontario that is dedicated to offering theatre shows that are extraordinary because of their provocative, challenging, and/or original content. They strive to promote local artists by providing a supporting and stimulating environment in which to further develop their talents. Korda’s productions are mounted on stage at the 115-seat KordaZone Theatre, located at 2520 Seminole Street.blank

Twice a year, Korda partners with Cardinal Music Productions to present big, bold Broadway musicals.

Korda’s Goals

  • To provide the Windsor and Essex Community with a year-round, stationary theatre company.
  •  

    To mount a full-season of diverse shows, assembled together under an exciting and challenging theme, each year. These productions will include original works, classics, and a play chosen (or created) specifically for young audiences. To provide actors, writers, artists and theatre practitioners with a forum in which to contribute and perform locally.

  • To raise awareness about the importance of the arts in the community through the art of performance.
  • To develop an audience that appreciates the uncommon and to provide an alternative to the mainstream.

Bruce Dow is an award winning actor, director and theatre educator with over 30 years experience on stages across North America. He has 4 featured roles on Broadway (most recently as “King Herod” in the 2012 Tony® Nominated Revival of Jesus Christ Superstar); 12 Seasons as a leading member of the Acting Company at Stratford Shakespeare Festival; and two Dora Mavor Moore Awards (Best Actor and Best Actor Musical).
