- **Event Name**: Lunch & Learn with Mike Trites
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 19 Mar, 2026 at 12:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Playwright and director Mike Trites joins us to share the remarkable story of how his new musical, In the Key of Blue, went from an idea he started writing in 2017 to a full-scale production premiering in Prince Edward County in July 2026. 

Featuring the iconic music of Blue Rodeo, the show follows a young musician chasing fame while navigating the highs and lows of trust, ambition, and reinvention — all set to some of Canada’s most beloved songs. 

Mike will talk about what it really looks like to get a brand-new musical off the ground:
developing the script over several years, including pandemic disruptions
securing rights and building partnerships with Blue Rodeo’s team
assembling a 59 member creative collective from right here in PEC
raising funds, running workshops, and preparing for a regional tour.

Whether you’re a creative entrepreneur, a collaborator looking to build something new, or someone curious about how big ideas become real, Mike’s behind the scenes look at launching an original Canadian musical will be inspiring, candid, and full of hard won insights.
