MEET OUR CAST…The Laramie Project

Meet our first 3 actors in our upcoming production of “The Laramie Project” at Johnson Hall Opera House on March 28th at 7:00 p.m. and March 29th at 2:00 p.m.:

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!
