donna debreceni (Musical director/Arrangement) is a native Coloradoan and has been playing for theatres, clubs, piano bars, and corporate events for… well, let’s just say, quite awhile! She has also composed for film and television in Los Angeles, performed and recorded for country artists in Nashville, and toured the country and Taiwan with West Side Story. She has performed and music–directed numerous times for the Town Hall Arts Center in Littleton, Shwayder Theatre in Denver, Magic Moments (an annual benefit production with and for people with special needs) and here at Theatre On Broadway for the first production of Howard Crabtree’s When Pigs Fly; Whyde Awake, which she music–directed, arranged, and recorded tracks for; and Cabaret. She would like to thank her husband, Todd, for his love and support, and her mom for making her practice.

lamecia landrum (Costume Designer) has done tons of costumes for about 10 years, primarily for the Theatre Group, but she does occasionally wander off somewhere else. That might be due to age.

jim miller (Howard Crabtree) is tickled pink to return to the Theatre On Broadway after making his Theatre Group debut in Cabaret. He has performed at the Arvada Center, Country Dinner Playhouse, Germinal Stage, Town Hall Arts Center, Nomad, LIDA project, Six Flag Elitch Gardens, as well as local and regional television commercials. He holds a B.A. in theatre, and continued his studies at the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco.

s. neale (Stage Manager) has served as stage manager for the Theatre On Broadway for over four years for such shows as Cabaret, Never the Sinner, Whyde Awake, A Question of Mercy, Corpus Christi, and Poor Super Man. Thanks to Steve for the creative freedom, and all my great friends who have wandered into my life.

todd peckham returns to Theatre Group after a year and a half hiatus. His last show being the original run of Howard Crabtree’s When Pigs Fly. Todd is thrilled to be reprising the same role in this production. Todd wishes to thank his best friends: Katey, Bri, Gav, Brad, Senea & Babs; and his incredible family for all their “undying” love and support this past year.

george pulver feels privileged to “Oink“ again on this stage, and to dedicate his performance to David T., who was killed by an assailant’s bullet the year Howard Crabtree’s When Pigs Fly first flew onto this stage. David loved this theatre, and he loved to laugh; and “laughing matters most of all.” George’s performance credits include Howard Crabtree’s Whoop Dee Doo and Party!, and technical work includes sound design on various Theatre Group productions over the past several years. Much thanks to Steve and Theatre Group for all the opportunities and support over those years. Also, much thanks to Paul for 20 great years – here’s to the next 20!

brad ramsey Brad’s heels have not graced the boards of Theatre On Broadway since he played Buzz in Love! Valour! Compassion! six years ago (it seems longer). They have, however, been tramping about Country Dinner Playhouse, The Arvada Center and The Firehouse Five Playhouse, as well as pushing little dents into the floor of Salon Armand, where he tirelessly burns hair several hours each week. Brad’s resume is idiotically impressive – it includes wonderful audience pleasing hits such as: South Pacific; The Unsinkable Molly Brown; Kiss Me Kate; The Sound of Music; Fiddler on the Roof; Anything Goes; Annie; Damn Yankees; Little Mary Sunshine; You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown; Camelot; George M!; Cabaret; Guys and Dolls; Big River; 42nd Street; The King and I; Hello Dolly; The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas; Showboat; She Loves Me; Man of La Mancha; Mame; Oliver; Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?; I Do, I Do, and Grease to name a few. Howard Crabtree’s When Pigs Fly will undoubtedly prove to be another musical theatre triumph for Brad. He is certain nothing will go wrong. Enjoy the show.

n. sugar recently directed Never the Sinner, Stupid Kids, Whyde Awake and A Question of Mercy as well as The Blue Room and Shakespeare’s R&J. Other directing projects include Love! Valour! Compassion!, subUrbia, Psycho Beach Party, Whoop Dee Doo!, and Poor Super Man.
