BIOGRAPHIES
The Cast
RYAN CORRELL	*(Justin)* Ryan is happy to return to the WCP stage in this fun production. Previous WCP credits: The Lion in Winter (John), A Midsummer Night's Dream (Lysander). Other theatre credits include: Picasso at the Lapin Agile (Elvis Presley), The Prodigal Son (Jacob), A Few Good Men (Pfc. Downey), Julius Caesar (Octavius), Pvt.

KRISTINA HERNANDEZ	*(Louise)* Kristina is delighted to be returning to WCP after last been seen as Laura in WCP's production of The Glass Menagerie. She has been seen in other WCP productions of "Rehearsal for Murder" as Karen Daniels and as Catherine in A View from the Bridge. Kristina thanks the cast and crew for this experience and would also like to give a special thanks to her husband Tim for all of his support, as well as their dog, Hurley, for understanding why his walks had to be cut short.

MIKE BURDICK	*(Bingham)* is thrilled to be appearing again with the Westfield Community Players. He last appeared as the Gentleman Caller in The Glass Menagerie. Mike also was seen in WCP's production of Smoke & Mirors and made his WCP debut in WCP's production of Neil Simon's FOOLS as Snetsky. An award winning playwright and director, Mike is closing his eyes and jumping back into acting in a quest to find roles he enjoys as much as past favorites Eugene in Brighton Beach Memories, Pip/Theo in Three Days of Rain, Eddie in High Crimes and Subtle Deceptions and Gravedigger 2 in Gravediggers / Somethin� Rotten. Thanks to this talented cast and crew and to Carrie and Izzy for doing without me a few times a week.

VIKKI MASSULLI	*(Pamela)* Vikki would like to thank John Correll for casting her at WCP where she was last seen as Sophia in Fools, Cassie in Rumors, The Bride in There Goes the Bride and Quincy in American Daughter. Vikki has performed on stage both locally and in NYC, in productions such as Alliance Rep's Boy's Life as Lisa, the 2008 NYC Fringe Festival, mulitple roles in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Essie in CDC's You Can't Take It With You, and others. TV: SNL, One Life to Live & Guiding Light. Member Rep, GIAA & SAG-AFTRA. Love to Jon, Jacob & Cole.

TIM McGOVERN	*(Dickie)* When the words �farce� and �Correll� come together at WCP, odds are so do the words �Timothy� and �McGovern!� Since 1995, Timothy has annoyed theatre-goers in Westfield with his odd sense of humor and questionable acting ability�he is, after all, a physics teacher during the day. He was most recently seen in the most recent show: Don�t Dress for Dinner as Robert. Prior to that, Timothy played the role of Jerry in Squabbles and has also had roles in possibly every Ray Cooney farce seen at WCP. He was John Smith in Caught in the Net, Sgt. Porterhouse in Run for Your Wife, Bill Shorter in There Goes the Bride, and Dr. Bonney in It Runs in the Family. Other favorite shows were Sly Fox, California Suite, Sylvia, and The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940, which is a very special one because he met his future wife, Diane, for the first time. Timothy is dedicating this performance to his wife, and his sons Jack and Brian.

BEATRIZ ESTEBAN-MESSINA	*(Muriel)* Beatriz is super excited to be making her WCP debut with such a talented cast and crew. Past favorite roles include: Julia in Lend Me a Tenor, the Wicked Witch of the West in Wizard of Oz and Ethel in Moon Over Buffalo (NJACT 2008 Perry Nomination for Best Ensemble Actress) Among her 50-plus directorial credits, Beatriz is most proud of Anna in the Tropics. A free-lance arts educator during the day, she created and directs the theater programs for Kenmare HS, Marist HS, and St. Joesph School all in Hudson County. Finally, she thanks her husband, Jim, for encouraging this crazy passion for the stage.

To Linda ("With God all things are possible, but with out you, Linda, nothing would be worth having.") and to God for everything.

SALLY BROWN	*(Producer)* Sally once served as Secretary of the Westfield Community Players Board of Directors for several years. Sally is still keeping young (laughter) in her fifth assignment as producer, having served as producer for Fools, The Uninvited, Caught in the Net, Smoke & Mirrors and last season's Don't Dress for Dinner. In her spare time (more laughter), Sally enjoys opera, music history and crossword puzzles. She engages in volunteer activities with a number of local organizations. She thanks her family and the gorgeous young players for their support. Sally finds her experience great fun and loves the entire cast and production team.

BARBARA RUBAN	*(Stage Manager)* started with WCP as property master for many shows before branching out into stage managing and received a Perry Award nomination for props for the production of Angel Street. She also assists with set decoration and costumes. Having been on stage in a couple of productions, she would rather leave the acting to the pros and enjoy being in the backstage "hustle and bustle". Barbara also wrote two original plays which were performed at WCP. In addition, one play was performed in Chatham in the Jersey Voices Festival. She had been on the Board of WCP for two years serving as Director of Performance. Barbara is now Vice President of Productions. A legal assistant by day, she thanks WCP for allowing her to express her creative side and her children and grandchildren for their love and support, which makes it all more gratifying.

JOANNE LEMENILLE	*(Properties)* JoAnne appeared as Mrs. Isaac Cohen in last seasons WCP's production of Abie's Irish Rose.

JoAnne recently served as President of WCP for three terms; she is now serving as Director of Performance. JoAnne has been nominated for a NJACT Perry Award for Outstanding Properties in a Play for Rehearsal for Murder She has always been involved in theatre since she was a child back in Union with the Teen Stagers. She has also appeared as Polly in The Boyfriend, Anna in New Girl in Town; Eleanor in Second Time Around (for Regal Productions), and Peggy in Front Page. Besides doing props, she has worked on Scenery and Set Design. Her favorite role was Eleanor in Second Time Around because it gave her the chance to play her husband, Steve's, snobbish and self-centered wife. JoAnne is a retired teacher of music from the Clark School system where she was the vocal, instrumental and music theory teacher for over twenty years and for which she directed and musical directed the plays for Kumpf School. "I make bead flowers - an old French art of using glass beads."

DORIS DIAS	*(Costumes)* I�m thrilled with the opportunity to work on this production. My personal goal is to make sure that the actors are comfortable and confident in their appearance on stage. I started working on costumes at the Westfield Community Theater in 2009 with their production of Little Mary Sunshine. At this point I fell in love with costuming. I was asked back to the theater and subsequently invited as the Chairperson of Costumes. I have great respect for the Director and his visions, they inspire me. I thank the production team for their faith in my ideas and their respect for my opinion. And specially my daughter for all the late hours, help and support. Past credits: Little Mary Sunshine, Don�t Drink the Water, The Second Time Around, Dial M for Murder, Caught In The Net, Beauty and the Beast, Alice in Wonderland, Abie�s Irish Rose, I Love You, You�re Perfect, Now Change, Top Girls, Stuart Little and Bizet�s Carmen "I am a Costumer, I make clothes for imaginary people." ---Celestine Ranney, 1982
