Some buzz from several of the cast members
|
|
Kim Wickham, fresh from the TLP
Jekyll and Hyde role as the maid who saw too much, has come back for more theatre. Playing the lovable (?) but not necessarily neat
Olive Madison, Kim describes herself as an extrovert but her character is definitely "sloppy."
Singing since grade school and involved in high school theatre, she discovered TLP on the internet.While she has a bucket of lines to commit to memory, Kim is ready for the challenge. She encourages your attendance at this production by saying "
see a different view of an old masterpiece." She declares herself "hooked" on theatre and plans to stay involved with TLP. The people are wonderful and so much fun to work with.

The fussy neatnik who goes so far at to sanitize the telephone cord is
Florence Unger. Giving life to Florence is
Jane O'Brien, who played the Irish maid in TLP's
Jekyll and Hyde. Her first stage role in high school was a bit part in
Funny Girl and Jane insists those New York voices are still in her head.
"Fastidious" is Jane's word for Florence, while Jane describes herself as "critical." She thinks there is a little Olive and Florence in each one of us waiting to be acknowledged. Her biggest challenge in this production is maintaining Florence's nervous energy and constant need to tidy up. When asked about future TLP opportunities, Jane asserted "ask me again in mid February!

Karen Wagner is new to the TLP stage but has enjoyed being part of the audience for several previous TLP productions. Cast as
Mickey, the cop, she will become the organizer and problem solver for this crazy band of six. This is a far cry from Karen's first role as Mary in her sixth grade Christmas Sunday School program.
Mickey is "focused" while Karen sees herself as "spontaneous." She is enjoying the interaction between cast members and loves the repartee that has already developed. Memorization presents its challenges, as several other cast members will agree. Karen encourages you to attend because there is humor throughout this play that will appeal to everyone.

Kim Chrysler found her way to TLP auditions because her fiance thought is would be a fun family activity. Kim will be playing the role of
Vera, the gal "a few beats behind the conductor" and her family will be cheering her on from the audience! She describes Vera as "naive" while she sees herself as "wholehearted."
She encourages you to become part of the audience and follow the girls in this fun filled, intense adventure filled with the ups and downs that any group of friends can relate to. Kim confesses that she has stepped out of her comfort zone to be in her first play but loves that everyone has been so welcoming.
