Meet the Cast:
 Stephen
French
Stephen was found being raised by lemurs by a group of
travelling players who also happened to be hedonistic gypsies.
This should explain a lot to those who have known him over the
years.After travelling the North American continent in an opium
and absinthe haze, Stephen landed in Birmingham where he set
about acting in and directing the kind of theatre he loved.
Basically anything twisted (Hiding Behind Comets at B'ham
Festival Theatre), seedy (The Little Dog Laughed at BFT),
deviant (Quills at BFT), and goofy (well, this...). In rare
forays into the relatively normal, Stephen has also been seen
onstage with Muse of Fire (Henry V, Macbeth, and A Midsummer
Night's Dream), Red Mountain Theatre (Chicago), and The
Birmingham Children's Theatre (Peter and the Wolf, A Christmas
Carol, and The Best Christmas Pageant Ever). He would like to
thank Clay for bringing me into this, Connor for his youthful
radiance, Steven for that Italian flava, and Krissy for giving
me someone to make inappropriate jokes to. Most importantly,
Stephen would like to thank Kristen for humoring his bizarre
ways and his boys, Bennett and Peyton for still thinking Daddy
is cool.
 A. Clay Boyce
Clay is very happy to be out of the asylum and thrilled
to seek shelter as the Artistic Director for Park Players. Other
than being amazed by bright, shiny objects, Clay likes to spend
his free time hurting himself. You may have seen him hiding from
the law in other theatre houses around town like Montevallo Main
Street Players ("Boy Gets Girl"), StageDoor Youth Theatre
Company ("Zink, the Myth, the Legend, the Zebra") and
Centerstage ("Music Man"). The next Shakespeare show that
he is out to ruin is "Taming of the Shrew", which he is
directing in August for Park Players. He would like
to dedicate this production Ted O'Brien. I remember how
much you hated this show because it "does not do the Bard
justice!" I'm sorry you're not here to help with this one
Ted and tell me how bad an actor I am. I miss your smile
and your laugh. I would also like to thank my wife
Vicki and daughter, Victoria for just putting up with me at all!
 D.
Connor McVey
Connor is Dionysus personified. When he is onstage,
angels weep to be back on Earth. He is world renown for his
Dimitri, his Eugene, and his one-man (unabridged, mind you)
Hamlet. Connor's fame surely is remarkable as he chooses to
perform primarily in his shower, alone, and rarely graces the
public with his golden fleece like gift. He has two Obies, one
Grammy, and several Crappys, and even more Awfullys. His resume
is full of Awfully work. He has never won a Hobo Award, and this
makes him sad. D. Connor McVey likes potatoes. You may have
caught him onstage thinking about potatoes in Theatre Downtown's
The History Boys or TNT's Reefer Madness!. D. Connor Mcvey is
tired of talking about himself trying to make this boring bio
thing fun for once... umm. Well. ... Try the chicken.
 Assistant Director Steven Ross
Born at an early age, to a family of non-Mafia Sicilian
Italians. Steven came into the world with one mission, find a
mission. Once found he realized that he had fulfilled the one
mission in finding it and now can relax and take it easy, and
ignore the mission he had found. He currently has turned to high
finance where he is aiding the son of the opposed deceased
leader of Nigeria funnel millions of dollars out of the country
and has won several international lotteries. He has been seen on
stage in New York (Broadway) Chicago and Eastaboga, Alabama,
where in all these places was escorted off the stage arrested
and strip-searched (the best part). He is glad to be here.
 Stage
Manager Krissy Warren
Krissy Warren is happy to once again be back with the
Park Players. This is her first shot at stage managing, so if
Romeo comes out in a skirt or Juliet shows up in a page boy wig,
please forgive her.
When she isn't trying to round up a group of unruly boys, she
has actually been on stage a few times. You may have seen her in
The Odd Couple, (the female version) as Olive, and as Tiff in
Blackpool and Parrish, or as Tybalt (yes, Tybalt) in Romeo and
Juliet (the comedy). You probably didn't see her in Spoon River
Anthology, but that was because it was 1000 miles away in New
York City.
She'd like to thank Clay, Steve, Steven, and Connor for making
her blush at least once a rehearsal.
