HENRI CHERAMIE (Ensemble/Bisset) is a semi professional comedian and entertainer who performed for many years under the name Vic Trichinosis. Now a high school literature teacher, they have given up the life of a poor comedian for that of an even poorer educator. Previous credits include The Pirates of Penzance (General Stanley), Camelot (Mordred), Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (Rosencrantz), and A Dickens of a Carol (Mr.Juggler), True West (Lee), and You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown (Snoopy). This is their first stage performance in over a decade and couldn’t be more excited and terrified.

AUBREY CRIGLER (Ensemble) is really excited to be in Jekyll and Hyde! With previous performances in “Sound of Music” and “Once the Musical” , her enthusiasm is evident on stage. She’s ready to bring some serious passion to the show and make it memorable experience! In her free time, Aubrey enjoys gardening, cooking and playing video games. She is thrilled to announce she will be attending Troy next fall as a theatre major.

JOHN FRICKS (Father/Poole/Newsboy/ Ensemble) is making his first ever stage appearance and is very excited to be a part of this production at PRTC!

Montgomery/Pike Road area, specializing in building custom furniture.

GRAYSO N HATAWAY (Ensemble/ Emma understudy) is a student at Pike Road High School and is very involved in theatre in the community. She did ASF’s summer camp, Broadway South in 2019 and in 2022. In recent years, Grayson has been striving to be in as many productions as possible, as her love for theatre grows. She has been involved in school theatre productions include You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown (Sallie Brown) and Annie (star to be and ensemble). Grayson took a step towards more professional theatre when joining PRTC. She has sense then been in Elf the musical (ensemble), Gypsy (hollywood blonde, Renee, and Caroline the cow), Footloose (Urleen and ensemble). Her greatest achievement in theatre was when PRTC did Shrek jr., and she got the role she had been dreaming of for years, Princess Fiona. This role not only boosted her confidence in her abilities to perform, but was over all was a wonderful experience. Grayson is excited to see what else is waiting for her under the lights.

JACK HORNER (Sir Danvers Carew) excited to take the stage again as Sir Danvers Carew. This is his third appearance with the PRTC, previously appearing in “Gypsy” and “The Wizard of Oz”. He is once again thankful to James Keith Posey for giving him this opportunity.

She has been so thrilled to become involved with the River Region theatre community with the most recent roles (Margaret) 9 to 5: The Musical at the Way Off Broadway Theatre in Prattville and (Fiona) Four Weddings and an Elvis at Wetumpka Depot Players.

She is ever so grateful and amazed to be working with such a talented cast. She loves that she shares the same passion for theatre as her daughter, Millie.

JASO N MORGA N (Bishop of Basingstoke/Spider) has loved this haunting musical since he discovered it in high school. He is elated to be joining this talented cast of old and new friends to tell this captivating story. Jason was last seen on-stage at PRTC as Uncle Wes (Footloose) and the Cowardly Lion (Wizard of Oz). “If we aren’t one but two, are we evil or good?”
