RAY FLETCHER…‘A British/American actor’- Ray has performed such roles as; TEVYA, WILLIE LOMAN, FAGIN and BOTTOM. Ray studied theatre at university and was awarded Best Male Musical Performer in a Lead Role by the American College Theatre Festival at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC. After living in the U.K. for the last twenty-five years, Ray returned home to the U.S.A. and settled down in Maine! Stage, Film, TV – OK, but this Virtual Stuff – Old Dogs, New Tricks!

CHLOE ALLEN…This is Chloe’s first performance with Open Book Players! She has acted all through her schooling but this is her first ‘adult’ role. Chloe is excited to (hopefully) be in more shows in the future. She is a middle school teacher that hopes you learn something new from this show. She wants to leave you with this quote:

“To hate is an easy, lazy thing but to love takes strength everyone has but not all are willing to practice.” — Rupi Kaur

ALEXIS BOURGET…Lexi is in her second show with Open Book Players. She is involved in her theater program at Gardiner Area High School with the most recent role of Cousin Tilly in Its a Wonderful Life. She is very grateful to Lucy for this opportunity and can’t wait to do more with Open Book Players in the future!

MEET OUR CAST…The Laramie Project

Meet our last three actors for “The Laramie Project” being performed on March 28th at 7:00 p.m. and March 29th at 2:00 p.m. at Johnson Hall Opera House:

EMILIA JANE…I recently began acting and feel very grateful to be part of this reading. It means so much to be learning and sharing this experience with such a wonderful and talented cast. Outside of the theater, I love cooking and have a deep appreciation for all forms of the arts.

TYLER WARD…It has been several years since my last time performing, I’m thrilled to be part of the cast and grateful for the opportunity to bring multiple characters to life. I’d like to thank the cast and crew for making this such a fun and welcoming experience, and I hope you enjoy the show!

DYLAN WING…I’m a local theater performer, graphic designer, and aspiring writer—a creative of many trades who often finds joy in comedic roles, bringing humor and lightness to the stage. This production marks my first deeply dramatic performance, and it has challenged me in ways I didn’t expect. Immersing myself in these roles has meant confronting difficult perspectives and emotions, pushing me as both an actor and a person. I’m grateful to be part of a production that invites audiences to reflect on compassion, empathy, and the world we share.
