Jason G Fordham
Memorial Endowment Fund
We are very pleased to announce the creation of the Jason G. Fordham Memorial Endowment Fund.
Gifted by an individual who asked not to be identified, the Jason G. Fordham Memorial Endowment Fund was established to honor the memory of Jason Fordham, who passed away September 24, 2013, following a 4-year battle with cancer. Jason was a supporter of the arts in Rome and Floyd County, Georgia, particularly related to theatre and the preservation of the Historic DeSoto Theatre and was a member of both the Rome Little Theatre Board of Directors and the Historic DeSoto Theatre Foundation Board, serving as president of the Rome Little Theatre Board of Directors from 2009-2011. The designated purposes of the Jason G. Fordham Memorial Endowment Fund are: (a) to honor Jason Fordham’s contributions to theatre; (b) to serve as Jason Fordham’s legacy; and (c) to provide on-going support for Rome Little Theatre and the Historic DeSoto Theatre Foundation. The income from the investment of monies in the Jason G. Fordham Memorial Endowment Fund will be equally divided between Rome Little Theatre and the Historic DeSoto Theatre Foundation to be used in whatever manner the individual organizations deem appropriate in support of the arts in Rome and Floyd County, Georgia. In addition to the $100,000.00 initial donation to establish the Jason G. Fordham Memorial Endowment Fund, both Rome Little Theatre and the Historic DeSoto Theatre Foundation gladly accept donations to the Endowment Fund to honor Jason’s legacy and his many contributions to theatre as well as provide on-going support for Rome Little Theatre and the Historic DeSoto Theatre Foundation. Donations earmarked for the Jason G. Fordham Memorial Endowment Fund may be safely made at romelittletheatre.org or mailed to the Historic DeSoto Theatre, 530 Broad Street, Rome, GA 30161.

A Guide to
Theatre Etiquette Arrive early It's a good idea to arrive at least 30 minutes early so you can have plenty of time to find a parking spot, pick up your tickets, use the rest room and get something at the concession’s counter. Use the restroom BEFORE the show and DURING intermission Turn your cell phone off Even if you have it on vibrate, people can still hear the buzzing and it's very distracting. Don't talk or text on the phone DURING the performance. If you need to take a call, please wait until a scene change before you leave. Coming and Going Please don't get up and leave during the performance unless it's an emergency. If you do need to leave or come back in, please wait until there is a scene change. Fidgeting Please sit still. Bumping your elbows into your neighbors or kicking the seat in front of you is annoying. If you have kids, please keep them in control. « Sight lines Try to avoid large hairdos and hats. Also avoid snuggling up to your date because it might block someone's view behind you. Photos Videotaping and taking photos during the performance is a distraction to the performers, other patrons and is often illegal. Please don’t take photos during the show. Other Etiquette Guidelines « Please refrain from talking, humming, or singing along with the show, except when encouraged to do so by the performers. « Please wait for an appropriate time to dig something out of your pocket or bag.
8
« Please do not make noise with candy wrappers or popcorn bags. « Outside food and beverages are not permitted in the DeSoto Theatre. « Go easy with the perfume and cologne, many people are allergic. « The Overture (intro music at the start of a musical theatre show) is a part of the performance, so please be quiet when it begins. « Don't put or throw anything on the stage. « Pay attention to the announcements that are being made prior to each show about the rules and regulations and the location of the fire exits. « Do not whistle or scream out to the performers, except for a Bravo or Brava in the finale. Now for some Dos: « Do laugh in appropriate places. « Do applaud with enthusiasm in the appropriate places. « Do tell all your friends, after the show, what a great time you had. « Do applaud when the performance is over; doing so shows the cast and the crew how much you appreciated their hard work and effort. « Stand and applaud if you really thought the show was great.

Message from the Producer Welcome to the show that was never supposed to happen. If I had a dollar for every time someone has told me that “RLT will NEVER do The Rocky Horror Show”… you get the picture. I would be amiss if I didn’t start right out by acknowledging one of the biggest reasons why you are sitting in the seats today, ready to get your socks (and shorts) knocked off by an incredible, sexy, talented, quirky and overall bad-ass cast: That reason is Holly Moore. I sat across from her and Carol Murchland during our reading committee in 2012. We grinned at each other and I remember Holly holding the RHS script and saying “why don’t we?” So we did. Then we presented it to the rest of the committee. And they did. Then we nervously presented our recommendations to the RLT Board. THEY did! Finally, you, our members… YOU did by voting for The Rocky Horror Show! So here we are with a production that I’ve not only dreamed of doing at RLT but I’m actually producing and getting the opportunity to add my own personal touch! ‘A dream come true’ may sound silly but if you had lived the last six months with Tracy, Amanda, Lynne, this cast and me you’d understand why I say it’s a dream. This experience has been perfect, this cast has bonded and we have become the closest of families. Just ask any of them; they will concur! I am so excited for you, our audience, to see the results of so many people’s time, imagination, efforts, hard work and planning. I am pretty sure when the curtain closes you’ll be headed back to your computer to purchase tickets for one more night. It’s that kind of show! Enjoy!
Pam Shoemaker
Message from the Director Don’t just dream it; be it. That is the message from The Rocky Horror Show. I was very lucky to be raised by parents who encouraged me to be anything I wanted to be and who made sure I believed in myself. I wasn’t taught prejudice or judgment but was raised to believe everyone had a right to be who they are and to love who they love. I suppose my parents were radical in this sort of belief in the 60’s but I pray that is not so radical a belief in this day of 2014. I am so proud to be a part of this production and this cast and to push Rome Little Theatre a little out of its comfort zone. The talent you will see on this stage is exceptional. Someone told me that casting is 90% of directing, and wow: my casting committee did well. My job has been very easy.
I hope you enjoy this production as much as we have all enjoyed working on it and performing it for you. This is certainly the type of show you may want to see more than once. I encourage you to come back and participate. Throw your rice, popcorn, cards and heckle the cast. That’s part of the fun with this show. It is meant to be ridiculous and satirical, so don’t take it too seriously and just enjoy the humor in “us.” Life is funny and laughter is good for the soul, so they say. I want to thank Rome Little Theatre for accepting me into the fold just four short years ago. I came to a show (12 Angry Men), then auditioned and was cast in My Fair Lady and have been here ever since. If you are interested in being a more active part of Rome Little Theatre, Don’t just Dream it; Be it! Thank you for coming to the show and supporting RLT.

WORLDWIDE SYRINGOMYELIA TASK FORCE, INC. Worldwide Syringomyelia Task Force, Inc. is a non-profit organization formed with a mission to educate the world about Syringomyelia. Syringomyelia is a progressive incurable illness that causes cysts also called syrinxes to form on the spinal cord that destroy nerves and irreversibly damage the spinal cord if it is not diagnosed in time. This condition can lead to other incurable illnesses such as heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, dysautonomia, and paralysis. Our Founder & CEO Beth Nguyen has Syringomyelia and as a direct result developed heart failure, intracranial hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, and POTS dysautonomia. She is a strong advocate for those that suffer from Syringomyelia and wants to educate the medical community in order to open the doors for positive changes for all those affected.
11
Our Director of Marketing Ricky Clay also has Syringomyelia and suffers debilitating symptoms daily. He is another strong advocate for educating others. He is a talented actor and musician!! He joined our team because he wants to give back and help others who are affected. Ricky devotes his time to music and acting in order to remain positive in the face of his illness. Currently there are few resources for those of us who have this disease. This is why it is vital to spread awareness! There are an estimated 40,000 in the United States with Syringomyelia and no data worldwide on how many more.. it is suspected that many go undiagnosed each year to suffer in silence. Do not delay; please go to our website and donate to this worthy cause today! Thank you!!

CHRIS OZMENT
PHOTOGRAPHY
began in the back of an old Dodge pickup truck many years ago. Once Chris figured out glamour shots were not for him, he built a studio on his farm in Coosa, Georgia where it still is today. Unusual photography is Chris’s forte and he has excelled. Add some fog and a little mystery to the shoot and WOW! You have Chris Ozment Photography at its best. Rome Little Theatre and the cast of Rocky Horror gives out a BIG THANK YOU to Chris for his generosity, flexibility and fabulous photos!

The Rocky Horror Show Biographies Mary Asbury Phantom The Rocky Horror Show marks Mary's first show of the season. She was last seen on the RLT stage as Dr. Margaret Stone in the Roman-winning production of A Few Good Men. Mary has graced the stage in A Streetcar Named Desire,The Sound of Music,The Man Who Came To Dinner, Oliver Twist, Annie and various other roles. She enjoys the role of the Phantom because it allowed her to create her own character. This has been the greatest cast to work with and to be around, she says. When not onstage, Mary stays busy being a personal trainer and lifeguard at the YMCA and serves on 2 community boards with KRFB and Animal Control. She loves her family to pieces and is so happy they are involved with RLT. Taylor Barton Phantom/ Columbia Understudy/ Choreographer This is Taylor's first production with Rome Little Theatre. Before this show, she has helped choreograph shows such as West Side Story and Thoroughly Modern Millie for Gordon Central High School and Sonoraville Middle in Gordon County where she lives. She would like to thank everyone involved with the show for making her first real community play experience as amazing as it has been. Marc Bynum Phantom/Dr. Scott Understudy Hailing from the Los Angeles Area, Marc has been on hiatus for the past 20 years. Marc has chosen to return to the stage in what he believes is an important production for the community. While his experience is rooted in the Southern California area, his roots are here in Rome. Ricky Clay Phantom Ricky is an aspiring actor and vocal performer currently residing in Rome, GA. He recently took on a position as Director of Marketing for the newly-founded non-profit organization, "Worldwide Syringomyelia Task Force" (www.wstfcure.org), which focuses on funding research for a rare,
35
debilitating spinal cord condition called Syringomyelia, in which there is very little research for, very little education provided to medical physicians and staff, in order to provide adequate care and treatment for those affected by the condition, which affects roughly 40,000 Americans nationwide - including Ricky. He's very passionate about this organization and encourages everyone to research the condition. WSTF is focused on finding a cure to end the daily struggles the condition causes, not only the ones diagnosed with the condition, but also the families and friends of those affected as he has experienced the daily struggles first hand. Ricky also works a seasonal position with Petz Enterprises as a Technical Support Lead. This is Ricky's first musical production. However, Ricky has appeared on stage previously with RLT in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Ricky has performed at many venues over the years including Tootsie’s World Famous Orchid Lounge in Nashville, TN. He has recently filmed for a Tyler Perry Studios production of "If Loving You is Wrong", and recently finished filming for an upcoming independent film titled "The System". Ricky would like to thank his parents, Jim & Trish, for always encouraging him to reach high in doing what he loves. Had it not been for their encouraging words and and support throughout life, there's no telling where Ricky would be today. Amber Culberson Phantom Amber is a former student of Pepperell High School in Rome, Georgia. This performance is Amber's first actual theatre experience. She has done smaller productions involving her high school, including musicals and plays. Being a phantom in The Rocky Horror Show is an incredible honor to her. As crazy as it seems, she was inspired by the outgoing and bizarre nature of the cast in the film and it helped her become a more outgoing person. Getting the opportunity to just be a part of it is a major accomplishment.
The Rocky Horror Show Biographies Nancy Dobbs Magenta Nancy is a full-time employee and parttime student at Berry College, majoring in theatre and minoring in business. You last saw Nancy as Laura in The Glass Menagerie, and she is thrilled to be back on stage after a two year hiatus. Nancy would like to give a shout out to her best friend Andrea Loveless (Andy) for being the first person to introduce her to the world of Rocky Horror years ago. Originally not a huge Rocky Horror fan, she'd like the thank another best friend, Abbie Lyons, and this cast and crew for showing her the magic lying within the story. Now feeling the tick of Magenta within her soul, Nancy hopes to do this part justice. Lastly, Nancy would like to dedicate her performance to her daughter, Small Lady (Waverly). Any and all success is due to that tiny two-year old girl who makes Nancy be the best she can be, both on and off the stage. Thank you all for coming, and enjoy the show! Austen Earp Frank-n-Furter Austen is excited to make his debut performance on the Rome Little Theatre stage as part of The Rocky Horror Show cast. While this is his first time in a theatre production, Austen is lead vocalist, pianist and guitarist for the Rome-based rock band, Ethos, whom he records and tours with regionally. When he’s not playing music you can find him at Eternal Expressions Tattoo Studio or doing something outdoors. He would like to thank Tracy Hellriegel for the incredible opportunity to play the iconic role of Dr. Frank, the cast for making him feel welcome (and for all of the laughs), and his wife, Emily, for her constant support and encouragement to chase his dreams. “Don’t Dream it. Be it.”
Brendon Earp Rocky Brendon is the guy wearing sparkly underwear. He has been a member of the Rome Little Theatre for about two years and has enjoyed every moment of it. This has been one of the most fun shows he has been a part of and would like to thank Tracy and Amanda for making it such. He would like to give a shout out to the AAG for always having his back. Emily Earp Columbia Emily graduated from Berry College in May 2011, studying writing and theatre, and she has made Rome her home. This is her third performance with Rome Little Theatre, and she is excited to be involved with this incredible and insane cast! She's been honored to perform in The Christmas Carol (Ghost of Christmas Past) and Grease (Frenchy) at Rome Little Theatre. She would like to thank her parents for their constant support and her dad for being a closet Rocky Horror fan. She's more than excited and proud to perform alongside her husband, Austen… and yes, he looks better in heels. Russell Evans Brad The Rocky Horror Show marks Russell's 4th production this year and 9th overall on the RLT stage. He has had the privilege to play many diverse roles: Joseph (Dreamcoat), Harker (Dracula), Link Larkin (Hairspray), James Cagney (Shakespeare in Hollywood), Kendrick (A Few Good Men), Sonny (Grease) and, most recently, Emmett (Legally Blonde). Russell is a '07 graduate from Mercer University where he was a 4 year member of the Mercer Singers touring the Southeast US and Japan. He has been very active in community theater for 18 years since being “discovered” at age 11 for the First Baptist Church of Rome's production of Four Tickets to Christmas in '96; he
36
The Rocky Horror Show Biographies is now, finally, actively pursuing a professional career in entertainment. Russell thanks his small, loyal party of fans, and especially his parents, Wayne and Denise. Tracy Hellriegel Director Tracy is very excited to be directing her first show for Rome Little Theatre. Tracy has been on stage here with RLT for the past 4 years, last seen on stage in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. Prior to moving to Rome in 2009, Tracy was Marketing Director for Tony Brewer and Company in Atlanta and has lived in the metro area since childhood. Tracy now has her own special event company and wedding design company, Tracy Slack and Associates and Weddings of North Georgia. Although Tracy truly loves creating special events, theatre has been her passion since starring in her Kindergarten play way back when. Primarily an actress, Tracy began assistant-directing for the professional production group, Ovation Players in 2006. Using the skills of event design and planning, combined with her acting experience and learning from a pro at Ovation Players, Tracy was ready to take on her first directing role with The Rocky Horror Show, a challenge she took on with gusto. Making sure this production stayed true to its 1975 stage debut, Tracy worked hard to balance inappropriateness with humor and good fun. Morgan Higginbotham Phantom/Narrator Understudy Morgan is a 24 year old taxidermist who lives in Rome Georgia. This is Morgan's first musical production. However, Morgan has appeared on stage with the Georgia Perimeter College Theater program in Doubt; A Parable, in 2010. Morgan is knowledgeable in ballet, tap and clogging. Morgan has also been in honor chorus since the early years of grade school. Morgan is grateful to be a part of this production, for this is one of her
37
favorite cult classics. Morgan would like to thank everyone who is involved and who has shown their support. Jamie Landers Phantom This is Jamie's ninth performance at Rome Little Theatre. She has been a part of this theatre since 2004. She was last seen as Belle in RLT's production of A Christmas Carol, but has since performed with Triple Threat Arts Company. Jamie is the Marketing Director for Complete Cash Discount Title Pawn and holds a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration from Reinhardt University and an MBA from the Florida Institute of Technology. She would like to thank not only the cast and crew for working so hard to make this show a success, but also Tracy, the director, for not making her wear those terrible, terrible white platform heels after all. Becky Magruder Phantom/Raffia Becky has been involved in RLT for many years, sometimes a main character in a show and sometimes as just a set decorator. Regardless of her part she has loved every minute of it. This show has been a blast; she has had so much fun and has made some forever friends. She wants to thank her director and producer for believing in her as an old crazy phantom! Now enjoy the show! Beth McCain Phantom/Trixie Understudy Beth is a native Roman. This is Beth's sixth musical production, with previous stage performances including The Wiz in 2009, Ain't Misbehavin in 2010, The Civil War in 2012, Hairspray in 2013, which earned her a Roman Award for "Best Female Showstopper" as Motormouth Maybelle, and was most recently in R.L.T.'s summer production of Legally Blonde the Musical as Paulette Bonafonte. Beth would like to thank all of her family and friends for their continued love
The Rocky Horror Show Biographies and support. Beth considers it an opportunity of a lifetime to perform in such an iconic show as The Rocky Horror Show with a phenomenal cast. She would like to wish the entire Rocky Horror cast and crew good luck and BREAK A LEG!! AND REMEMBER, "DON'T DREAM IT; BE IT!" Moriah Medina Phantom/Magenta Understudy Moriah "Mo" is an Ohio native, but has lived in Rome since 2001. She graduated from Pepperell High School in 2003 and is currently attending Georgia Highlands College.

Daniel Murchland Phantom/Riff Raff Understudy Daniel is incredibly excited to be a part of the legacy that is The Rocky Horror Show. This has been one of the most exciting experiences that he's had on stage. Daniel has been involved in theatre since his Junior year of high school. His first RLT show was Footloose in 2008. Since then, he's been in numerous productions on stage and behind the stage. Some of Daniel's most recent roles include Victor Frankenstein from the 2013 production of Frankenstein and B-Flat from TTAC's production of Second Samuel. Daniel would like to thank the love of all his family and friends with whom all this craziness would not be possible.
Jennifer Naddy House Phantom Jennifer is the wife of Tim Naddy and mother of three amazing boys, Jake, Luke, and J.D. She loves her day job as pediatric nurse practitioner for Dr. Miniyar’s Pediatrics. Her performance history includes Oklahoma, Grease, and Guys and Dolls as lead dancer.

She will be singing with her husband and son, Luke, in Experience Christmas 2014.

Other musicals she has done include: Gordon Central High School’s George Gershwin's Crazy for You and Damn Yankees. Audrey says, "I'm so glad that I'm a part of this amazing production! I have never felt so close to a cast in any other show I have ever been in. I love each and every one of the people in this cast, and the crew is wonderful . I'm so glad to have made friends with such awesome people. Thank you all for giving me an experience that I will treasure for a life time." She also hopes to be in more productions like this one at Rome Little Theatre in the near future. Alexis Robinson Janet Alexis has been so lucky to be a part of such an amazing cast! She is from Cedartown, Georgia, and is currently a freshman theatre major at Berry College. This is Alexis's third production with Rome Little Theatre and she was last seen as Serena in Legally Blonde the Musical. Alexis would like to thank the cast for being a family to her during the biggest transitional period in her life. She

The Rocky Horror Show Biographies loves you guys so much and wouldn't trade this experience for anything. Hillery Sawyer Phantom Hillery is a Rome native who has only recently come back to RLT. By day she works in content marketing and by night she plays a lovable, but maniacally insane phantom in The Rocky Horror Show. Always drawn to the theater, she has participated in many plays and improv troupes since childhood. Her favorite character performance was a backyard rendition of the comedy thriller Psycho Beach Party in which she cross-dressed as a 1960's beach bum named Yoyo who unconventionally falls in love with his best friend and fellow surfer, Provoloney. Lillian Shaw Usherette/Trixie This is Lillian's fifth appearance on the RLT stage since her return to her native Rome in 2012. Favorite past roles include Vivienne Kensington in Legally Blonde the Musical, Jan in Grease, and Tracy Turnblad in Hairspray, for which Lillian won the Roman Award for Best Actress. Lillian is a 2010 graduate of Mercer University. She'd like to thank her Mom and Dad for their continued love and support. Pam Shoemaker Producer This is Pam’s first time producing an RLT show. She has been around the RLT stage (notice the key word is ‘around’, never ‘ON’!) since 2008. She started with RLT as a stage mom and has dabbled in assistant directing, house managing, props, backstage crew and finally worked her way into the makeup room which is her one true theatre love. She has won several Roman Awards for her work on Hair and Makeup including Babes in Toyland, Peter Pan and Hairspray. She would like to thank her daughter, Baby June/ Lucy/ Annie/ Miss Muffet/ Sandy/ Goblin/ Flower for getting her involved in this wonderful beautiful crazy place. Earnest Simpson Eddie While Earnest is no stranger to a stage, this will be his first RLT production, and his
39
first role in a live play in many years. A karaoke enthusiast and self-proclaimed band geek, Earnest knows how to work a crowd and ensure everyone has a good time, audience and cast alike. To paraphrase one of the audition team, with his penchant for loud music, motorcycles, and greaser hair styles, casting Earnest as Eddie was a no-brainer. Clarissa Snow House Phantom Clarissa is a native Roman who lives in Garden Lakes with her husband Jack, their dog, Faraday, and two cats, Beatrice and Sirius. This is her first time participating in an RLT production, and it has been a wonderful experience! The Strange The Band The Strange is not just an original rock and roll band, it's more like a musical kinship forged in the North Georgia mountains as long ago as 1989. Under various monikers and until settling as The Strange in February 2000, these kindred musical spirits have spread their brand of truth and harmony anyplace that would have them, and even some that won't. Amanda Swendsen Assistant Director Amanda is so excited to be working with the amazingly talented cast and crew of The Rocky Horror Show! Most recently, Amanda was the stage manager for the The Wizard of Oz and A Few Good Men at Rome Little Theatre, which has been her theatre away from home since she and her husband, James, moved to Rome from Manchester, MI. While in Michigan, Amanda had the opportunity to stage manage some of her favorite shows such as White Christmas, Fame, and Leading Ladies! When not at the theatre, Amanda enjoys reading great books, hiking, doing Zumba, and hanging out with James and her fur-babies, Jinx, Elsie, Sam, Dean, Houdini (& Abbie, too!). She would like to thank Tracy and Pam for giving her the opportunity to be a part of this show and, as always, to her husband for his love and support! 'Let's do the Time Warp again!'
The Rocky Horror Show Biographies James Swendsen Riff Raff James is excited beyond words to be playing Riff Raff in this production of The Rocky Horror Show! A native of Michigan, James now makes Rome, GA his home with his beautiful wife, Amanda. Before moving to Georgia, James received his Bachelors degree in Theatre Arts from Eastern Michigan University, and then spent a crazy year in Vancouver B.C where he studied Film and Television. After Vancouver, James traveled to New York where he made his off off Broadway Debut in The Wedding Ring, and then moved back to Michigan and introduced himself to his future wife for a second time (yes, a second time. Ask either Amanda or James and you’ll get a different story!). Some of his favorite shows and roles are A Few Good Men (LT JG Daniel Kaffee), White Christmas (Bob Wallace), Hairspray (Corney Collins), A Streetcar Named Desire (Stanley Kowalski, and Forever Plaid (Smudge), just to name a few. While with RLT he has been involved in four productions where he has received two Roman Award nominations and a win for best lead actor in A Few Good Men. You may also see him on TV as a coffee-throwing construction worker for 5 Hour Energy, a delivery guy on Let’s Stay Together, LT Doug Overstreet on Bloodlands, and in January, his episode of Your Worst Nightmare will air, where he stars opposite Levi Burdick. He would like to thank Tracy, Pam, Rob and Seth for this amazing opportunity, as well as his acting students Brendon, Nash, Madison and Maggie, who have made acting fun again. But, most of all, Amanda and our fur babies who make grey skies brighter. Bill Wear Phantom/Frank-n-Furter Understudy Bill is no newbie to Rome Little Theatre. He has performed in almost every musical production since 2007. This is, however, the first time you'll be able to see him. In past productions, Bill has been in our orchestra pit as a trumpet player. You see, this is his debut ON the stage. He would like to thank the cast and crew for making
this adventure as wonderful as it has been. Also, his heart and thanks go out to his family, who has given up so much to allow him the time to be a part of this wonderful production. A special thank you goes out to his wife, and RLT veteran, Jenny Wear. Jackson Williamson Dr. Scott Jackson is very happy to return to the RLT stage for The Rocky Horror Show. After having seen the film way back when it was shown in a cave by candlelight on the ancient forgotten technology of VHS, Jackson knew he would want to perform in the stage version at least once in his life. Jackson first appeared on the RLT stage back in 1996's The Secret Affairs of Mildred Wild and also appeared in The Sound of Music, The Crucible, Foxfire, Guys and Dolls, and most recently The Wizard of Oz as The Cowardly Lion. He is very grateful to have been cast as the wheelchair-bound Dr. Scott, as this makes him the only cast member who doesn't have to walk in high heels. He extends his heartfelt thanks and appreciation to his lovely wife and daughter, Jennifer and Audrey, for their support and love. Todd Williams Narrator - Criminologist Todd is the husband of Nicole Williams. They have two children, Anna Barnett (17) and Nash(10). When not on stage, he enjoys playing golf and tennis. Todd also enjoys hanging out with friends and playing games or doing a little karaoke. He was in drama club in high school where he played the lead role in Sganarelle. He played the Tin Man in the 2013 production of The Wizard of Oz and the role of (Dad) Bob Bradley in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. So far in 2014, he has played Vince Fontaine in Grease, and the UPS man (Kyle) in Legally Blonde the Musical. He will be the Emcee for the upcoming Experience Christmas 2014 to be held here at the Desoto Theatre this December.
