BOTTOM

Though quite introverted as a child, Cody discovered that theatre was a way to express himself and step out of his comfort zone. Now theatre is all he thinks about...not really, but he does like it a lot. Having played a compassionate, religious friar in last years production of Romeo & Juliet, Cody is excited to apply that experience to his role this year as a Donkey/overconfident, overzealous, and overly delusional wannabe actor. Turns out, this role is not that much of a stretch for him.

FLUTE

Why start acting at the age of 40? It’s been a bit over a year since Marc made that decision and he’s been asking himself that question ever since. Some days he’s mad that he waited this long to start, and other days he wonders “what the heck have I got myself into?”. The thrill of being on stage and the camaraderie that comes from putting together a play of this magnitude is what keeps him coming back for more. Marc made his debut at the Capitol Theatre in the original community play “A la Recherche du Heart of the Arts” as Marty Caissie (MC). You may have also seen him as various ensemble characters in “The Little Mermaid”.

DIRECTOR

A Midsummer Night’s Dream has represented a series of firsts for Kelly: it was her first introduction to Shakespeare, in grade 7; it was the first Hubcity Theatre production she saw, in 2012; and now it marks her directorial debut. There’s a fitting but groaningly obvious reference to be made about what a dream it is to have been entrusted with bringing this beloved play to life this midsummer… and since this play definitely doesn’t deal in subtlety, let’s go with it. Endless thanks to the wildly talented cast and amazing production team who have made this show what it is, and so much love to her ever-supportive family (including that one kid expertly bumbling around as ‘Moonshine’). Select credits—Hubcity Theatre: Nina (Stupid F’ing Bird); co-director/Tybalt (Romeo & Juliet); AD/ensemble (Jesus Christ Superstar); Mistress Ford (Merry Wives of Windsor); AD/Hope/Jill (Almost, Maine); Celia (As You Like It).
