MATTHEW BURGESS (Production Design)
In the five years Matt Burgess has been involved in local theatre, he has tried his hand at nearly every element involved in bringing imaginary locations to life, but specializes in scenic painting and design. He has been a crucial part of the Post Productions team since its third show, True West, where he worked as a scenic painter. Matt has designed and built sets, props , masks and puppets with the help of his father Rob Burgess and carpenter John Flynn – both of whom are also part of his construction team on Equus. Last year he was asked to design the masks and props for Walkerville’s WCCA production, Trojan Women, which was built in Stratford as part of their Off the Wall program. Some of Matt's work includes creating the Moose puppet from Korda Artistic Productions’ Evil Dead, and the scenic painting for both Vanya, Sonia, Masha and Spike and Company. He also does figurative sculpture of pop culture icons and did all of the chalkboard artwork found at Rogues Gallery Comics, located downtown.

DAVE NISBET (Music Composition and Sound Design)
Dave’s life was taken over by music straight out of high school, as the bass player in a band
called Falling With Glory – recording in one of the most renowned studios in all of North
America, which got radio play on 89X. He moved on to solo work under the name DTB (Dave
The Bassist), writing and recording his own songs, which have recieved radio play on The River,
releasing his solo album through his own record label (Narrow Gate Media). Dave is now
working as the lead singer and guitarist of the band Case The Joint. Studying music the good
old fashioned way – by ear – Dave’s style is dark and brooding with a hint of romanticism. With
this set of sounds and music he wanted to scare the audience, ensuring they never truly feel at
ease during Equus, smattering his own constantly ticking anxious mind directly into their ears.

If if you leave this show with a skip in your step, Dave believes you're truly a sick person. You
and he should be friends.
