BARRY PINEO…Barry was born in Jonesport, had his first theatre experience as a freshman in Skowhegan, and ever since, storytelling, especially the live variety, has been central to his existence. He had to leave Maine for about 36 years, but managed to get back in 2022, and this production of Thurber Fables is his first since his return.
WALTER GUILD…Walter’s theatrical career began in 12th grade when he realized he would never play for the Boston Celtics. He has been with Augusta Players/Gaslight Theater for over 50 years. Some of his favorite plays include Don’t Drink the Water, Mousetrap, 12th Night, the Glass Menagerie, Oklahoma, Mornings at Seven, and Picasso at the Lapine Agile. In 2022, Walter discovered Open Book Players and did Mark Twain by the Tale (thanks, Lucy). Walter lives in Farmingdale with his wife, Patty and their new rescue dog, Scruffy.
DAWSON DAVIS…I am a resident of Litchfield, Maine, and native Mainer. I was born in the town of New Gloucester, and attended Gray-New Gloucester High School, graduating in 1995. I was a member of the Boys Singers of Maine for a few years, and had the great pleasure of performing in the Sound of Christmas a few times, which was a thrilling experience that gave me a love for performing. As a youth, I loved theater, and participated in a number of local productions. Performing with Reader’s Theater last fall was my first time back on stage in many, many years, and it was an awesome experience that has rekindled that old desire.
I am the proud father of three great kids, one of whom, Jocelyn, is a member of our cast, as is my talented wife Lianne.
LIANNE DAVIS…Lianne is proud to be performing in her third Open Book Players presentation. In her spare time, when she isn’t managing the chaos of 3 children, 3 dogs, 3 cats, work, and her husband, she enjoys sharing her time with her volunteer positions, and experiencing the beauty of the world around her, ESPECIALLY at her camp. She’s been an avid enjoyer of all things theatre since a very young age and is enjoying these whimsical moments of participation.
JOSIE DAVIS…Josie is enjoying her 5th performance with Open Book Players. She is an avid lover of theatre in general and has participated in many productions and musicals, her most recent performance being Cinderella in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella. Outside of theatre, she occupies her time doing dance and singing as well as outdoor activities and lacrosse. She loves to stay busy and spend time with her puppy Soleil and she’s very excited to be bringing the humor of James Thurber to life!
