Mathieu Charlebois
Director
Mathieu Charlebois has been involved with Lost Baggage Musical Theatre since its inception in 2018 and remains on the board of directors. After producing and musically directing numerous shows with the company, he is excited to be able to share his vision for Something About New York with such a talented cast and crew. While watching S.A.N.Y. evolve from a BMUS graduation recital at Carleton University, to a mini-musical in the 2018 Ottawa Fringe Festival, and into the full-length show it is today has been arduous at times, it has truly been a rewarding, unforgettable experience in the end.
When he is not managing LBMT, Mathieu can be found working as a licensed teacher, musician, and music school administrator at Riverview School of Music (rsom.ca). Mathieu sincerely thanks all those involved in the show who helped make the production come to life. “Special thanks to J.T. at Orpheus Musical Theatre for providing a last minute venue, to B.R. for your patience, to A.H. for the photography, and especially to M.C. for believing in me and in S.A.N.Y. throughout the show’s entire creation and rehearsal process.”
