Time to Revisit the Vampire Musical | Paul De Gurse

Paul De Gurse is a musical professional based out of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Musician, educator, and administrator, he does it all. He is a managing director at The Village Conservatory, a company member of Outside Joke, and a co-host of Monkeys and Playbills, a podcast about Broadway musicals that had fewer than 100 shows before closing. No bio or description can truly do Paul's talent and experience justice.

Connecting to our last episode with Duncan Cox and Sharon Bajer, Paul is the music director for their musical, Afterlight, playing until October 1, 2023.

In the nightly search for her missing husband, an elderly insomniac, Wanda, encounters a 500 year old suicidal vampire, Razvan, whom she invites into her history museum of a home. At its core, this is a story of universal truths about life and death, and the long road that unfolds between them. Afterlight is a darkly comedic and whimsical new musical about the unlikely romance that develops between two souls desperate to find the light at the end of the tunnel.
