Director’s Note
It’s 4:00 on a Monday afternoon. The Auditorium is quiet, still, as a few interns go about their work onstage.
A designer from the back of the house asks, “Can I help you with something?”
“No, thanks. I’m just going to sit here for a bit.”
I breathe in the smells, register the black lacquer and gilt motifs, gaze up at the stunning chandelier, watch as ghosts of characters past dance beneath the proscenium arch: Rosamund, Lucy, Juliet, Morales, Eliza, Maggie… All younger versions of me. I become nostalgic. The designer breaks into my reverie. “Um,…we don’t usually let the public just come and sit in here…” I hear anxiety in the voice. I hear the unsaid. He’s thinking, “crazy lady in row 5!” “Oh, sorry. I’m Mychelle…? The director for Wedding Singer…? We start rehearsals tonight and I got into town early and just wanted to refresh my memory of the space.” We both laugh. The awkward moment passes. The funny thing is it is EXACTLY what we do. We invite the public to come and sit for a while. We want them to take it all in - the sights, the sounds, the smells. We dance before them, we sing. We pull the threads of nostalgia from their work-aday cares. We weave a Romance. We knit a Comedy. We make them laugh. We make them cry. In the theatre, it’s exactly what we do. We are the Civic. Come on in and sit for a while.

Micha E. Myers
Micha is absolutely delighted to be part of such a wonderful company! Having last graced the stage in “Well,” she’s excited to step into the ASM role for this production. With plenty of experience backstage, Micha has also worked as a dresser and shadow puppeteer with The Civic, along with serving as music director, stage manager, and choreographer in Northern Michigan. It’s a joy for her to be involved in this creative adventure!
Jaycee Myner
Jaycee is thrilled to be back at the Civic for another fantastic production. With a deep-seated passion for theater, she has contributed to 16 productions at the Civic, including shows such as “First Date”, “Hunchback of Notre Dame”, and “Newsies”.

She’s very excited to close out the season with Wedding Singer!
Robyn Shepich
Robyn is thrilled to be working in their eighth show at the Civic. Some of their favorite crew positions include A2 and playback operator at the Parish Theatre. Robyn enjoys being involved in theatre because they get to meet new people. When not in rehearsal, they like to be with friends and go shopping. Robyn would like to thank their friends for always supporting and helping them.
R.J. Soulé
R.J. has been a part of more Civic shows than he can count. He got his start in theatre as a personal dresser for Sandy Bremer in Sugar Babies. R.J. has had many roles throughout his lifetime but his favorites include Marvin in March of the “Falsettos”, Wilbur in “Hairspray” and Tennessee Williams in the one-man play “Confessions of a Nightingale”. When not at the theatre, R.J. can be found on the hiking trails, be it locally or in the mountains.

Laura has been happily volunteering at the Civic for nearly 10 years. She loves to work backstage, this is her happy place. Thank you to my wonderful family for supporting me!
