#154 - Van Wilmott
b'
In this week\\u2019s episode, I sit down with Van Wilmott. Van Wilmott is the Artistic Director of the Mayfield Dinner Theatre in Edmonton. In our conversation today we discuss what goes into programming a season and the importance of honouring what the audience wants, looking not only at each individual show but at the entire season as a whole, as well as the relationship between pop music and musical theatre and how it has shifted in recent years. We also discuss some of his most positive experiences at the Mayfield and what made them so positive, what he has learned from developing a relationship with the Edmonton audiences, as well as where he sees theatre in Canada headed in the future.
