Live Bait and Performers\u2019 Theatre have announced a merger to create a new theatre company for the Tantramar region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CHMA dropped by the Performers\u2019 Theatre space on Fairfield Road to meet Ryan Slashinki, a local performing arts teacher who is taking on the role of managing director for the new theatre company during the transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/CHMA-Slashinski-Mar-22-2024.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Slashinsky is heading up a transition team which also includes Live Bait artistic director Ron Kelly Spurles who is continuing in that role for another year. The founding director of Performers\u2019 Theatre, Steven Puddle, had previously stepped back from the helm of the community theatre group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Slashinsky says the time was right for the merger. In recent years both companies were populated by the same people, says Slashinski, which meant \u201cwe were finding that we were burning out people that wanted to work in the theater.\u201d While Live Bait is a professional company with a 35-year history, the productions coming from Performers\u2019 had grown to become \u201cof similar quality,\u201d says Slashinski. \u201cOver the past 15 years, Performers\u2019 has kind of grown up\u2026 So the time was right, to just get together and make one big happy theatre family for the people of Tantramar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The newly formed group is in search of a name, and has offered two subscriptions to the inaugural season to anyone who submits that winning name suggestion at <a href=\"https:\/\/performerstheatre.com\/\">performerstheatre.com<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/livebaittheatre.com\/\">livebaittheatre.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"815\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Screen-Shot-2024-03-22-at-5.51.59-PM-1280x815.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Screen-Shot-2024-03-22-at-5.51.59-PM-1280x815.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Screen-Shot-2024-03-22-at-5.51.59-PM-768x489.png 768w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Screen-Shot-2024-03-22-at-5.51.59-PM-1536x978.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Screen-Shot-2024-03-22-at-5.51.59-PM-2048x1304.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Screen-Shot-2024-03-22-at-5.51.59-PM-1320x840.png 1320w\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Live Bait Theatre\u2019s annual New Works Festival kicks off this week with workshops, readings, and performances, running through to March 28.
