THE CAST Rachel Brown has been involved in several shows in Iowa City, including Wonderful
Town and The Bakers Wife with ICCT. This is her first directing opportunity with ICCT, but looks forward to many more. She would like to thank the Bank of Mom for continu-ing support of her theatre habit.
Barby Buddin has performed with many regional orchestras, opera companies, and
colleges. She performed many roles at the University including, Carmen, Santuzza, and the Princepessa. Her performance of Katisha, in Boston, won the Doyle Carte award. For the BBC she recorded the revival of The Prodigal Son. She represented the US at the International Song Festival at the Hague, in a lecture/recital of Spirituals. After ap-prenticing at Miami Opera, Barbara returned to Iowa to complete her doctorate in voice. She has served ICCT as President, Vice-President, and enjoys production and design. Locally she has enjoyed her roles with CROT, TCR and The Cedar Rapids Sym-phony. Currently she teaches, conducts several choirs, and directs. In September she will be recording a premier opera in Budapest.
Kevin Burford, an Iowa City native, enjoys acting with both the local community
theatres and the University Theatre. He was last seen as Eurydice's father in the Univer-sity of Iowa Theatre Arts' production of Eurydice.
Adam Burton thoroughly enjoyed seeing this show again and again when he was
working as a sound board operator at Riverside Theatre in 1996, and couldn't have been more thrilled to be cast in an on-stage role this time around. It's his first time working with ICCT, and he's very happy to be here!
Aprille Clarke feels a great frill da joy to be doing a theater project after a 2-year
hiatus, which she mostly spent hanging out with a short guy. She enjoys words, lan-guages, making funny faces, and planning her next trip to somewhere interesting. She sends a kooch da-wow to Denny and Miles.
Ana Maria De La Cruz This is Ana Maria’s 3rd show with ICCT.
She was an ensemble member in Wonderful Town, and 'Therese' in The Baker's Wife. Spe-cial thanks to Jesus Gomez for his support & encouragement, her family & friends, and Josh Sazon for the opportunity to participate in such a fun piece!
Chuck Dufano has been involved in several local theatre productions. He works in
Iowa City as a registered dietitian.
Jeff Emrich continues to learn and grow with each new character he discovers. While
he thinks he’s experienced a Philadelphia world, he’d much rather live in a Los Angeles.
Kathleen Hession received a BA from the University of Notre Dame in both Thea-
tre and English, and is currently working towards an MA in teaching English at the Uni-versity of Iowa. She has directed numerous shows in Iowa City and Notre Dame com-munities.
Matthew James has lived many lives of different characters in the Iowa City and
Cedar Rapids area. Previous shows include Frozen, Little Dog Laughed, Rock and Roll, An-gels in America, Deathtrap, and Picasso at the Lapin Agile.
Kelly Johnson is a graduate from the University of Iowa Theatre Department
and will soon be pursuing an MD at the Carver College of Medicine. This is her 1st appearance with ICCT. Thanks to Kathleen for keeping her involved with theatre!
Kathy Maxey would like to say “spasiba” to James and Matthew and Rachel for
the opportunity to participate in such a wonderfully absurd show!
Christopher Okiishi is alarmed to find himself back on stage, but delighted by
the company and the opportunity. Thanks to Rachel for the e-mail and the encour-agement and thanks to Megan and Smick for the evenings on the couch (triple en-tendre intended).
Krista Neumann has worked in theatre in New York, LA, Chicago, Minneap-
olis, and now Iowa City. This is her first time directing for ICCT, and she has en-joyed working with both of her amazing casts.
Jeremy Ping has done numerous shows with ICCT, including Camelot and Bus
Stop. He thanks ICCT for all they have done for him, as this will be his final perfor-mance there for a while. He will be pursuing an MFA in acting this fall at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton Florida. Thank you to his loving and supportive wife for putting up with him.
Brad Quinn thinks writing your own Bio is dangerous and wrong.
Megan Sands is very excited about making her comeback to the stage after a two
year absence. Previously in Iowa City, she had done work with local theatre compa-nies since the summer of 2005. Her favorite previous roles include Charity Hope Valentine (Sweet Charity ), Audrey (Little Shop of Horrors), Amalia Balash (She Loves Me), Beth March and Clarissa (Little Women) and Dainty June (Gypsy). Thanks to Chris for letting me be a part of this hilarious group of sketches. Break a leg every-one!
Josh Sazon has worked in a number of local productions, both onstage and off.
Kelly Scherrer is so happy to be back on stage after a 3-year hiatus. She was last
seen as "Sharon" in ICCT's production of Wayside Motor Inn. In real life, Kelly owns and operates a local daycare and enjoys spending time with her husband, Chris, and her two young daughters, Fenna andTesla.
John Smick enjoys watching and especially listening to origami. Nothing is more
relaxing. Search for user 'super1600' on Youtube and you'll understand. Dim the lights. Wear headphones. Crank the volume. Get hypnotized.
Ellen Stevenson is a long time member of ICCT, and has done just about every
job there is to do at a community theater. She was last seen on stage right here as Miss Strict in Zombie Prom. “Without the crew it's just idiots in costumes... Without the cast, it's just idiots with powertools.... Without the audience, it's just idiots.” Thank-you for supporting ICCT and all the arts in the Iowa City area.
James Trainor is a local director/actor/playwright. Recently, he appeared in
TCR’s Rock and Roll and he has also written winning short plays. James is also an in-structor of little kiddos.
Angelique VanDorpe has recently appeared in ICCT’s Wonderful Town and was
also seen in Thoroughly Modern Millie at the Washington Community Theatre.
Kenneth Van Egdon misses the sound of typewriters; he's a sucker for ten-pound
bond, pure cotton fiber paper. He also likes candlelit dinners, sunsets and walks on the beach.
Mary Haaf Wedemeyer has been active in the Iowa City Community for many
years as a singer, actor/dancer, and ICCT board member. She is thrilled to have the opportunity to be on stage again. In addition, she has been a drama coach and director at West Middle School in Muscatine. Mary is very grateful to her husband, children and friends in supporting her love for theatre.
