PETER JORGENSEN
I am thrilled to be sharing some time and space with everyone at the 100th Annual Penticton Kiwanis Music Festival. I’m looking forward to passing on some of my thoughts and experiences with you as we explore voice, music, and performance. I’ve been a vocal coach for almost 30 years. I’ve been performing professionally for over 25 and I’ve been directing musicals around Canada since 2008. Recently, I had the pleasure of directing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and playing Callahan in Legally Blonde for Theatre Under the Stars in Vancouver. As a director some of my favourite work includes Avenue Q (Arts Club Theatre), Les Miserables (Chemainus Theatre), Fiddler on the Roof (Persephone Theatre), as well as Into the Woods and The Light in the Piazza (with my own theatre company, Patrick Street Productions). As an actor some of my favourites include starring roles in She Loves Me, My Fair Lady, Beauty & the Beast, and The Music Man. But the work I find the most rewarding is as a theatre educator. Aside from coaching a roster of amazing private voice students, I’m also the Founder and Program Director of the Arts Club Musical Theatre Intensive, a youth summer program for young talent who are passionate about Musical Theatre and want to experience a professional level training program. See you in April!
