History
OKM Theatre students love attending workshops or having guests come to the theatre. The more Creative Artists our students are exposed to, the stronger their work! While we are so very lucky to have our Parent Guild to support us in so many ways, we are also very fortunate that we get to learn from professionals!
Here is a 'Wall of Fame' of some of our more recent workshops attended and our Guest stars who have helped our program:
New York Trip, Spring Break 2023.
OKM students worked with Broadway Professionals in the BROADWAY STUDENT SUMMIT and saw & Juliet, Wicked, The Play that Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong, Sweeny Todd, Six and Hadestown!
The trip of a lifetime!

Musical Director
Mr. Bach was our vocal director for many years and for many shows in the past. He has presently relocated to CFMS. We are hoping to work again with him very soon!
As an accomplished pianist, musical director, and conductor Spencer has been leading internationally award-winning bands, choirs, and soloists for over 26 years. His groups have successfully represented Canada on 17 national and international tours including earning a Gold medal at the Millennium of Music Festival in Florence, Italy, a Silver medal at the Pacific Basin Music Festival in Honolulu, Hawaii, and 13 consecutive Gold awards at our local Whistler Music Festival.
Spencer is also passionate about and active in our community. He is the current Vocal Director at the Kelowna Actors Studio and he performs in many capacities and venues throughout the Okanagan and the Lower Mainland. Recent performing credits include the Musical Mayhem Series with MadFox Theatre and Clue on Stage at OKM!
Spencer currently sits as Treasurer for the Central Okanagan Music Educators Association.
