Directors/Producers
Ilka V
Drama Director
Ilka is excited to be working on her 5th musical since 2008 with so many of Fundy’s talented students, directors and community members. It is truly rewarding to see the amazing growth in skill and confidence of our students as they work with great dedication to make this show one to remember! Enjoy the magic over (and under) the sea!
Dianna Fast
Artistic Director
This year marks Dianna's 18th year directing musicals at LFMSS. She began when her oldest son was in Grade 7, and both of her sons, Keenan and Brock, went on to perform on the LFMSS stage throughout their high school years while Dianna continued to direct each production. Her involvement didn't end after they graduated, though.
Dianna truly enjoys working with students and watching them grow as performers, developing their skills and confidence over months of rehearsals. Each year, new students join the musical theatre program, and with the support of her dedicated directing team, they consistently come together to deliver an outstanding show every single time.
So why does Dianna continue to give her time and energy to LFMSS? Quite simply, the rewards of teaching, coaching, and directing are incredibly meaningful to her. She loves seeing students form new friendships across grade levels and watching their confidence grow throughout a year of training in rehearsals.
You're going to love this show. The students have poured countless hours into this production, supported by the dedication and hard work of the directing team and crew. Get your tickets—you won't regret spending an evening enjoying a musical production and supporting students as they learn, grow, and shine on stage.
