Eddie is super pumped that you’re here! He’s always incredibly grateful when you support something he loves. Which in this case not only includes his acting, but directing for the second time and especially having his written words performed. He’s come a long way from the rock he played as a child on an Easter church stage. And as always he encourages you to come play. He looks forward to seeing you at the next auditions.

As a Production Assistant for theatre and film, I am talented with organizational and managerial skills, but my gift, love, and passion is acting on the stage and I knew it when I saw the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I’m once again humbled to be gracing the stage the second time with the Ooley Theatre and The Artist Collective, My dream is now my reality, loving my life and living my life.

Gary is happy to return to the stage after a twenty-two year hiatus, trying to get back into the swing of things and become more involved in the local theatre scene. (Well, five years ago he tried when he did Noises Off at Imagination Theater in Placerville; but then COVID hit, putting him back on hiatus). Along with his experience and education in college community theatre, Gary also received his M.A. in Theatre Arts (with a focus in directing) from Cal Poly Humboldt in 2002. He currently lives in Elk Grove and works for the State of CA as an office technician with the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. In his off time, he enjoys watching TV and movies, petting his cat, wishing he had a dog (of the pitbull variety), striving to maintain a fitness regimen, and trying really hard to not sabotage his diet by binging too much on snack foods.

Johnny was abandoned (with loving encouragement) at an audition just over a year ago, with no knowledge or experience, and no choice but to beg Convergence Theatre Company for a role in Motherhood Out Loud. The strange stage creatures took in Johnny and his son, Billie, and taught them both their bizarre, ancient practices. The theatre virus infected them quickly, with an insatiable craving, growing one show at a time. Having feasted since then with Ressurection Theatre and Big Idea Theatre, Johnny Monster and his Billie Spawn are tasting the Ooley for the first time with this delightful sample platter, and can’t wait to see what is for dessert.
Nom nom nom. Rawr.

Bruce is a retired respiratory therapist who has dabbled in community theater since junior high school in the 1970s. Mostly small parts, but big fun for me. Thanks to Theater in the Heights for the many opportunities they gave me in the past and firing up what little talents I possess. Thanks to The Ooley Theatre for allowing me to reprise this roll of Artie and giving me this opportunity to perform again. Thanks for supporting community theater. Enjoy the show as much as I had performing it!
