Rosemary Hajost is playing the role of Florence Foster Jenkins. A founding member of TLP, Hajost has filled many roles throughout the company's three year history including director, stage hand and house manager, but this is her first onstage role with them. Describing herself as dedicated, she sees Florence as determined. Her biggest challenge in this production is the singing, followed closely by the amount of lines to commit to memory.
Hajost encourages you to come to this production because it is hilarious, much funnier than the movie and different from the movie. You won't know all the story about Florence until you see this side of the story.
Listen to Rosemary share her thoughts on this play and her favorite line.

The role of Cosme McMoon, Jenkins' accompanist and friend, is being handled by Logan High School student
Orion Carter. This aspiring young actor enjoys music, dance and theatre.He fondly remembers his first acting role as being a member of the ensemble in a production the
The Music Man.
Carter loves the script for this production. In one word he describes himself as funny, but describes his character, McMoon, as overwhelmed. He encourages potential theatre goers to follow social media, keep a lookout for posters and listen for that good " word of mouth" recommendation for this production.

St. Clair Byfield, Jenkins' companion and biggest fan, is being played by Amanda resident
Fred Norris. Norris most recently was seen in the TLP production of
The Importance of Being Earnest. Norris began his acting career at age 16 in a Christmas drama at church. He learned of auditions through this newsletter and hopes for future TLP involvement. His biggest challenge in this show is memorizing lines.
While he describes himself as perseverent he sees his character as an opportunist.He loves the comic situations in this play and it portrays a good message about being dedicated to your passion. To hear Norris' comments on this production and his role

Lee Carter is playing the role of Dorothy, Jenkins' best friend and ardent supporter. As members of the Verdi Club, it has become their responsibility to foster the art of music.
New to the TLP stage, Carter learned of this production from a friend. Carter is the happy mom mom to two amazing kids, loves to face paint and runs a small business doing this. A first acting experience was in
Jabberwock in high school."Interesting" is how Carter views herself while her character is ditzy.
She loves the story of Florence Foster Jenkins but admits that all shows have their challenges.

Leslie Brenstuhl, a Somerset resident
, is cast as the Spanish speaking maid, Maria. This production has allowed her to brush up on her Spanish. Brenstuhl views her character as sassy while she describes herself as happy.
She was seen in TLP's inaugural production of
Arsenic and Old Lace, appeared in the One Act Play Festival and has ushered and crewed for other TLP endeavors. This busy actress encourages friends and family to come to see this production and if they have any questions about it, just ask her. She can give you an earful, in English and Spanish! Alas, we have no video here, but then, it would have been in Spanish anyway!

Ashley Arthur portrays Mrs. Verrinder-Gedge, critic of Florence Foster Jenkins. This Des Moines, Iowa native learned about TLP from a recent playhouse poster and pursued playhouse opportunities thru TLP's Facebook page. Interesting that her first acting experience was a lamb in a church program in first grade while she describes herself as loud and her character, pretentious.
When asked what she loved about this production her response was simply "Florence."
