Michael McCarthy (Jon) (he/him) is honored to be performing with Greenbelt Arts Center for the second time after featuring in the role of Jack in their production in The Importance of Being Earnest last year.

Michael earned a Bachelor’s in Music with an Outside Field in Music from Ithaca College. He couldn’t imagine a more fitting way to prepare for his own upcoming 30th birthday than the opportunity to bring to life the excitement and the trepidation of the legendary Jonathan Larson’s “pre-midlife crisis” onstage alongside this amazing cast and team!

Dylan Nicholson (Michael) (he/him) is a professional actor operating in the DMV area. His recent stage performances, many of which come from American University include Urinetown: The Musical (American University), Daughters of Leda, Lost Girl, Cabaret, and more! In addition to the stage, he's done a good share of screen and vocal performances too lately! He'd like to thank his mom for being his biggest fan since day one of his acting journey, his stepdad for teaching him everything he knows, his three sisters, the rest of his family and friends, and the cast and crew for continuing to inspire and challenge him personally and artistically.

Elizabeth Suzanne (Susan) is pleased to return to acting in musical theater with this much loved show and role after a long hiatus from performing. Favorite roles have been Elinor (Sense & Sensibility), Petruchia (The Taming of the Shrew: Reversed), Blanche Barrow (Bonnie & Clyde), and Vivienne (Legally Blonde). In addition to acting, Elizabeth is a director (Little Women, TAP), puppeteer (Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins, CFTC), stage manager (Deaf West Theatre), and playwright (Kennedy Center Theatre Festival Awards).
