MEET THE CAST & CREW

Jeff Holland (Pancho Vargas / Lt. Munoz)

Jeff is a local writer/editor who carefully crept back into theater after 20-some years on account of really liking this musical when he saw it in the 90s, and enjoyed the opportunity to finally take part in it. Back in the day he had roles as Mr. Applegate in Damn Yankees, Albert in Bye Bye Birdie, The Narrator in Into The Woods, and a few other quality parts. Thanks for coming out to see the show.

Jim Hopper (Studio Cop / Big Six)

Jim returns to an MCT stage for the first time in 20 years where he hopes to get a little revenge on Matt Bookler for feeding Orin Scrivello to that plant in Little Shop of Horrors. Many thanks to Paul Recupero for bringing him back to work with this wonderful group of people, and in the show where we originally met (along with Liz Wheeler) 17 short years ago. Jim most recently appeared as Dick (and others) in 9 to 5 at JMT and as Kyle (and others) in Legally Blonde at the Barn Playhouse. I love you Leslie, Brynn and Kelsey.
