MADISON SULLIVAN…
“I have been in multiple productions, my favorite one being Newsies Jr. I am thrilled to try out Reader’s Theatre.”

FAIRY TALES WITH A TWIST…Meet Our Cast!
Oliver Hamlin…”I have been in several shows and musicals and wanted to try Readers Theater. My favorite was Davey in “Newsies”.
Emma Timberlake…Emma likes theater because she loves to dance and sing while watching her favorite movie K-pop demon hunters and would love to see how it would feel like to be on the big stage to perform.
Mary Coffin…Mary is thrilled to be a part of this performance, making her acting debut.
Charlie Boone…Hi my name is Charlie. I love theatre because I love to make people laugh!
Edith Coffin…Edith, a long-time lover of story and song, is eager to participate in a show for the first time in these fresh takes on classic fairy tales.
Kaia Zimmerman…Kaia’s storytelling isn’t just for the family—her three dogs are devoted listeners, always ready with a wagging review of her latest tale.
Bree Davis…Breanne Davis is in 5th grade but her love of theater is longer. She’s been memorizing lines and songs as long as anyone can remember. She’s done a few shows with Open Book Players now and several shows with The Little Theater in the Woods and plans to continue with theater for the foreseeable future.
Pearl Pizzarelli…My name is Pearl and I love acting because it helps with my confidence. Acting helps me express myself. I hope this play helps me with my acting career.
Brenda Butler…Brenda likes being on stage and having her friends and family watch her.
Harper Schneider…What she loves most about theater is getting to act as the different characters in the roles she’s assigned. She also really loves when everyone’s hard work comes together in the final productions, as well as all the friendships she makes along the way.
(Madison Sullivan…Picture and comments will be forthcoming.)
