Do it for thy truelove take;
Love and languish for his sake.
Be it ounce, or cat, or bear,
Pard, or boar with bristled hair,
In thy eye that shall appear
When thou wak'st, it is thy dear.
~~Oberon
Act II, Scene II
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Clint Needham as Andrew
ACTOR BIO ~~ Clint Needham acts like an actor. He has acted like an actor in several plays including Wizard of Oz, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Romeo and Juliet. His future plans include going to use the washroom and slitting his wrists the night of the performance. (we're pretty sure he's joking about that last part)
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION ~~ Andrew ~ A delightfully cynical and sarcastic individual. Andrew is an aesthetically pleasing young man and fine a musician as well. He's one of those boys who is incredibly intelligent and if he'd only apply himself... Along with their musical talents, he and Violet share an apartment and a...history. He has a variety of odd jobs and is always looking for a new source of income.
Sarah Stefanson as Violet
ACTOR BIO ~~ Most of Sarah's previous acting experience has been with parts she's written for herself. Although she prefers to be "behind the scenes" in theatre, sometimes it's easier to cast herself than anyone else. Sarah loves Clint best of all and he makes this having to learn one of the main parts in two weeks thing all the more tolerable.
formerly
Liz Siemens as Violet
ACTOR BIO ~~ Liz is 16, but she doesn't have her license
yet. (Dammit!) But she's working on that so she can
drive her way-cool Crown Victoria that is older than
she is. She works at a Mac's store and now has the
ability to suck back a 'Kolassal Kool' and not experience
brain freeze. Now that's talent. Now to master kissing
Clint for the billionth time and not laugh...someday, someday.
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION ~~ Violet ~ A talented musician and an attractive, "free spirited" young woman. Violet takes her music very seriously and bases her life around it. She and Andrew play together splitting costs, profits, and an appreciation for music. Film being her second passion, she holds down a minimum wage job at a video store that usually (sometimes barely) covers living expenses.
Kristopher Kluz as Jacob
ACTOR BIO ~~ "boys & girls" is Kris' (AKA cool guy) first acting experience. Kris likes to eat toast sometimes for breakfast and not all table clothes are red. It hurts his eyes when he looks at the sun. He burns things with magnifying glasses and he doesn't know why a duck is. (he also has a tendency to be quite cryptic and strange, as you may have noticed)
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION ~~ Jacob ~ Violet's slightly possessive, semi-trendy, and very slick boyfriend of several months. Jacob is obviously not very accepting of Violet's relationship with Andrew and doesn't really understand why his girlfriend has to be living with this boy (and that pesky...history). The two boys keep up a battle of wits as Andrew takes any opportunity to call Jacob on this insecurity.
Talia Martin as Mary
ACTOR BIO ~~ A late addition to the cast, Talia brings a refreshing spin to the character of Mary (the type of girl that she knows all too well). Talia has been involved in theatre extensively in the past including taking a year of theatre in university. She is currently in the "germ stage" of writing her own play and keeps herself busy trying to master various animal noises (she's already quite adept at her cat impression).
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION ~~ Mary ~ A co-worker of Violet's from the video store. She's the kind of girl that Talia would chase down the street. If we told you anymore, we'd have to kill you.
Mathew Busby as Sheumas
ACTOR BIO ~~ Mat was in OKLAHOMA!
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION ~~ Sheumas ~ An outspoken, open minded, and extremely beautiful individual. He is always ready to add some charming Scottish humor to any situation. Along with Angela he is a co-owner of "boys & girls", the coffeeshop where the main characters regularly meet (it was Sheumas' father's financial contribution that got the business off the ground). Sheumas is a romantic idealist with a level head who considers Angela his soulmate.
Shanda Stefanson as Angela
ACTOR BIO ~~ Shanda is almost 19. She is a drama student at the U of S, going into her second year. She enjoys yellow-flowered aprons, cloudy days, and being tied up at work. She hopes to get through the play without being killed or seriously injured and has no future plans beyond that. She also thinks that every boy in "boys & girls" is the cutest one!
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION ~~ Angela ~ A mature, sophisticated, lesbian woman. In addition to her roles as co-owner of the coffeeshop and soulmate to Sheumas, she is also Violet's best friend and the biggest supporter of her music (she also helps Vee and Andrew out of the occasional financial slump). She holds a little bit of resentment toward Andrew whom she thinks is taking advantage of Vee.
Amy Stefanson as Heather
ACTOR BIO ~~ After Liz departed and Sarah took over Violet the role of Heather was left vacant.
formerly
Sarah Stefanson as Heather
ACTOR BIO ~~ Most of Sarah's previous acting experience has
been with parts she's written for herself. Although
she prefers to be "behind the scenes" in theatre,
sometimes it's easier to cast herself than anyone else.
At 18 lines, she's pretty sure that Heather is the
largest role she's ever had. She doesn't get to be
naked onstage, or have offstage sex, (like some other
lucky characters) but she sure enjoys all the flirting
that's directed her way in the play.
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION ~~ Heather ~ A "stunning" woman who just happens to be the mutual crush of both Angela and Sheumas. Understandably, she causes some tension between the two friends and also drudges up memories of an unresolved issue from their past.
Robbie Webster as Gregory
ACTOR BIO ~~ Robbie is a guy. He graduated from Aden Bowman Collegiate, where he was quite involved with their drama program. His measurements are 38-30-30. His turn-ons are ice cream, licorice and peat moss. His turn-offs are pirates, the smell of gasoline and congealed dairy products. When he's not working in theatre, he's usually practicing his Jedi mind tricks.
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION ~~ Gregory ~ A well-dressed man. If we told you anymore, we'd have to kill you.
