Matthew Thiessen

This is Mr. Thiessen’s seventh foray into the magic that is Theatre Company. Though not a musical theatre aficionado, he does dapple with singing and choreo alongside his nine-year old daughter while blasting Youtube tunes. In 2018-2019, Matthew joined TheaCo and he and Hughes co-produced and directed their first show together: Moby Dick: The Musical. He is grateful to work alongside Karli Sawka on Hadestown: Teen Edition, and is especially grateful to his Theatre Widow and wife, Petra.

Thiessen has had a great time working with these talented actors and crew, and thanks them for their hard work and professionalism. A big THANK YOU to Darren Hales for…everything! And of course, to the actors and techs whose fantastic work on this show exceeded his expectations in quality and pizazz.
