tina anderson (Set Design) Most recently co–designed the set, construction and scenic painting for Ruthless! The Musical at the Theatre On Broadway. Tina also did the set design for Cabaret, and numerous other sets at the Phoenix and Theatre On Broadway for the past couple of years. She also does set design for St. Mary’s Academy and the summer program at The Shwayder Theatre at the JCC. Tina absolutely loves working with the great people that encompass Theatre Group.

shelly bordas became a slave to the Theatre Group in 1995. When not appearing onstage (most recently in Cell Block Sirens of 1953 at Theatre On Broadway and Parallel Lives at the Phoenix) she can be found at Theatre On Broadway selling tickets and wine to patrons. She is proud of every Theatre Group production, and especially proud to be part of the family – still. Thanks to Steve and Nick for all the years of bliss.

keith hershman is thrilled to be making his Theatre Group debut. Keith was most recently scene in THAC production of Godspell as John the Baptist/Judas and with PNTC as Dexter Haven in High Society. In 1997 he toured with Tops in Blue, performing 150 shows worldwide, including a Bob Hope Special. Thanks to my three “angels” – Kade, Lil’ Chunk, and “Diva” – for the constant standing ovation!

c.J. hoosier is excited to shake his willie yet again in his third incarnation of The Compleat Wrks of Wllm Shkspr (Abridged) with Theatre Group. When not standing on a street corner with a sign reading “Will Perform Shakespeare for Beer,” C.J. is the technical director for the theatre department at the Mizel Center for Arts and Culture. Some of his favorite stage credits include: Carl in Lonely Planet, Ensemble in The Laramie Project; Student 4 in Shakespeare’s R&J; and The Compleat Wrks of Wllm Shkspr (Abridged) and The Complete History of America (Abridged) with Theatre Group, Geoffrey in The Sisters Rosensweig with the Mizel Center Theatre Company, and The Marquis in Quills with Promethean Theatre. C.J. would like to thank his mom for DD size support, Dorckus, Roxy, Dave, and Pooh for making things interesting, and Britney Spears for her profoundly moving music which helps him keep his figure by turning his stomach so often he never needs to diet.

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

eric mather has been performing improv and sketch comedy in Denver for the past six years. He has performed regionally with The Travelling Susans and The Acme Comedy Players. Currently, he can be seen at the Bovine Metropolis Theater performing in On the Spot, the Walden Family Playhouse in Kabuki Gift, and Rattlebrain Theater. Eric also thoroughly enjoys anything made of Nerf, running slowly through flowery pastures, and chalk. He would also like to know who the heck this Will “Yumshakes” Pier guy is that everyone keeps talking about.

steven neale has served as stage manager for the Theatre On Broadway for over four years for such shows as The Laramie Project, Cabaret, Never the Sinner, Whyde Awake, Howard Crabtree’s When Pigs Fly, Corpus Christi, and Poor Super Man. Steven also is the designer of the Theatre Group’s programs and newsletters, as well as serving as Webmaster for the Theatre Group Web site.

He recently directed Never the Sinner, Stupid Kids, Whyde Awake and A Question of Mercy as well as last season’s award–winning Howard Crabtree’s When Pigs Fly, 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 (Best of Westword, 1998–1999). Nicholas has been seen on stage in the critically acclaimed productions of Cabaret, Corpus Christi, The Compleat Wrks of Wllm Shkspr (Abridged), Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, and A Perfect Ganesh. He has worked as a teacher, director, and choreographer with numerous schools and theatres.

My Name is Alice, The Mystery of Edwin Drood and Closer Than Ever; the comedies Jeffrey, Compleat Wrks of Wllm Shkspr (Abridged) and Tony n Tina’s Wedding – and the recent hits Parallel Lives, Beautiful Thing, Emma’s Child and The Boys in the Band. Steve hold a Music Education Degree and serves as the Executive Director for the Theatre Group.

kevin wenning (Assistant Director/Prop Master) was last seen in Spring Love at the Bug Theatre, and has been seen in Stupid Kids and Cabaret with Theatre Group. He is quite pleased to be able to help C.J., Eric and Keith make total fools out of themselves for your enrichment and amusement.
