David Martin (Director) is thrilled to finally bring this story to the stage. You may have seen some of his previous shows here as a director ("Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead") or as an actor (Black Stache in "Peter and the Starcatcher"). If not, check out the next one - Howie in "Rabbit Hole" - acting opposite his wife with Summit Theatre Group. By day, David dispenses sage financial advice for Prosperity Advisors. Special thanks to the cast, crew, his parents, JAFM, SF, and the cats.

D.K. Evenson (Stage Manager) returns to OCTA having stage managed last season’s "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead". Stage Management: "The King and I" (TTIP), "Noises Off!" (Barn Players), "The Music Man" (Leawood Stage). Lighting Design: "Rabbit Hole" (OCTA). Set Design: "Barefoot in the Park" (Wyandotte Players). Properties: "The Dinner Party" (OCTA), "Lend Me a Tenor" (Wyandotte Players). An advocate for the performing arts, D.K. is a past member of the OCTA, Wyandotte Players, and Potluck Productions Boards of Directors. Shout out to Dave for another show supporting my “helpfulness,” and to the supes! For mom.

RickL Riley (Set Design) has been doing theatre in the Kansas City area for over 40 years. He lists more than 200 show credits in that time as actor, director, stage manager, set designer/builder, lighting designer/operator, properties designer, and anything else that happened to fall his way. A long-time member of the board of directors with the Bell Road Barn Players, RickL retired from his 9-5 day job in 2018, and has since devoted his time and energies to raising and training Arabian horses at his farm in Spring Hill with his wife, Michaela, and roommate Debbie Hodge. RickL is always grateful to collaborate with Dave Martin, having done so on several productions at OCTA including 12 Angry Jurors, Arsenic and Old Lace, The Fantasticks, and last year’s Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead. He is equally grateful to be working with another great cast and crew and hopes that their experience has been enhanced by his technical efforts. As always, RickL wants to thank his family for their support and creative input on this production. Love and Hugs to all.
