Blaze (himself) is thrilled to be making his onstage debut in this production of First Date. His backstage experience includes working as an audition stand-in for the Civic's production of Nuncrackers, and Avenue Q. Blaze enjoys baseball and basketball and soccer and drawing and chocolate and pirates and airplanes and french fries and video games. He wishes to thank August Gallagher, who has had a hand in his career, leading to this role.

Nadya Beyar* (Casey) is making her Civic debut in this production and is currently at Western Michigan University getting a double major in Acting and Dance. She grew up in Budapest, Hungary, but has lived in Kalamazoo for 2 years.

Jordan has loved doing theatre and music since middle school and is happily continuing his love at the Civic.

Shannon Canuelle (Aaron’s Mother) appeared in our productions of A Christmas Story the Musical and Billy Elliot the Musical. A marketing lead with AXE Prime, Shannon names her favorite role as Bettina Barnes in our 2019 production of Psycho Beach Party “To my wonderful kids, thank you for always supporting me and cheering me on.”

August Ryan Gallagher (Blaze/Stoner Guy) has had the pleasure of being in many roles growing up, from Berger in Hair, to Lane from The Importance of Being Ernest. He attended Colombia College Chicago to study theatre and played Patrick in Zero Positive. He also portrayed the role of Davidson in Mary Stewart. Recently, he was Sonny Malone in the Civic’s production of Xanadu in spring of 2022.

Vincent Giannecchini (He/Him/His) (Gabe) made his Civic onstage debut in our 94th season opener, Disney’s Newsies. Past theatre credits include You Can’t Take It With You (Mr. Depinna/Donald), The Importance of Being Ernest (Rev. Canon Chasuble) and Romeo and Juliet (Romeo/Mercutio/Apothecary), all performed at Cornerstone University. Interests other than theatre include history, gaming, and being with friends. “I want to thank my wife, Kayla, for her support and pushing me to continue my passions.”

Danny Maura (Reggie/British Artist/Instagram) (he/him/his) is a sophomore at Western Michigan University studying Choral Music Education. He is a part of University Chorale and is the President of the WMU Broncords, but when he isn’t busy doing one of those two things, he loves to do theater. This is his second time being a part of a production at the Civic, his first of which being when he played the role of The Captain in Dames at Sea last year. First Date will be his tenth overall production, and he couldn't be happier to be back performing at the Civic again. He hopes you enjoy the show!
