Desiree Woidill—Muriel
Tate—Act 2. Des is from Lebanon and is a recent graduate of
the Theatre Department at Slippery Rock University. She has
extensive training in voice and movement, acting and
directing, playwriting, stage combat and more. In short, the
minute she walked in the door we knew we had a winner…and
our Muriel…standing right in front of us! Desiree is an
account representative at Cutting Edge Media. |
 |
Ruth Roy—Karen Nash in Act
1—Norma Hubley in Act 3. Ruth is from the metropolis of
Ebenezer, and she says she is delighted to once again tread
the boards at LCT. She first appeared here in a play “too
long ago to remember the name,” but recent theatregoers will
recall her fine work in Greetings, Over The River And
Through The Woods, Last Night of Ballyhoo, and The
Innocents. Her year round work is that of an herbalist,
with a shop at the Renaissance Faire, as well as online at
www.wellcat.com.
Odd that a wife could be so excellent
to work with and that she takes direction so well. Ruth is
an absolute treat to work with.

Andrew Mannion—Jesse
Kiplinger—Act 2. At the ripe old age of 19, Andrew already
has an established theatre resume` that includes acting,
singing, directing, set design and construction. He is a
theatre major at Elizabethtown College, and we knew we had
our Jesse the moment he set foot on the stage at auditions.
This is Andrew’s first show at LCT. He hails from the
Baltimore area. |
 |
Juan Morales—Waiter
in Acts 1 & 2—Borden Eisler in Act 3. Juan is a resident of
Lebanon, and although he has no theatre credit, we knew he
was “a natural” the moment we began to work with him during
the audition process. Watch for him through the years,
because we see good things in his theatre future. This is
Juan’s first show at LCT. |
 |
Megan LaFauci—Jean
McCormack in Act 1. When she’s not at work at
Lancaster’s Womens and Babies
Hospital, Megan is taking acting lessons at the Fulton Opera House or driving to
as far away as
Philadelphia for professional auditions. This is her first
LCT production. |
 |
John Kelsey—Sam
Nash in Act 1. John is not only big, bodacious and bold on
the set; he also built the set! Our board president once
more takes to the stage, to the delight of us all. Out there
in the so-called “real” world, John is an esteemed defense
attorney, headquartered in Lebanon. |
 |
Bruce Kissinger—Roy
Hubley in Act 3. Here’s another LCT veteran actor, director
and all-around important volunteer and board member. We
first met Bruce during Over The River And Through The
Woods, and then we co-directed Ballyhoo and
The Innocents. All the way through the audition process
we kept looking for just the right Roy Hubley, and all of a
sudden it dawned on us that he was standing right there, in
the form of Bruce Kissinger. |
 |
Kaitlyn Zerbe—Bellhop in Act 1—Mimsey
Hubley in Act 3. What a treat to work with the reigning Miss
Pennsylvania Teen! From Pine Grove, Kaitlyn is a scholar, a
dancer, a singer, a musician and…well…just an all-around
charmer. This is her first production at LCT and we’re
delighted to work with such exuberance. |

THE STAFF |

Tom Roy -
Director. Tom made his first LCT
appearance as Major Frank Burns in M*A*S*H back in
the late 80s playing opposite his wife Ruth’s “Hot Lips”
Houlihan. He was next seen as Grandpa Frank in Over The
River And Through The Woods, and then he directed, with
Bruce Kissinger, The Last Night Of Ballyhoo and
The Innocents. On stages elsewhere he has had lead roles

shots on NBC’s Saturday Night Live, and more.
A 22-year veteran of radio, he can
still be heard often on regional stations doing commercials,
especially the award-winning York College What Did You
Learn Today series. He can be seen, as well, as one of
the beleaguered souls in the current Catholic Charities
public service spots on TV.
Tom says he loves directing as much as
acting and acting as much as directing. |

Mike Roy—Stage
Manager. A fine young man, and a fine young actor—he was
Miles, the ghost-possessed lad in The Innocents—Michael
is also an old hand, at age 15, in theatre production. He is
a performing arts student at the Pennsylvania Leadership
Charter School,
www.palcs.org, as well as a 9-year veteran performer
with the acting company at the Pennsylvania Renaissance
Faire. Michael is an accomplished student of fencing and
kendo. |

Amy Johnson—Costume
Designer. If you saw The Innocents or if you’ve ever
attended any of the events at Mount Hope Estate & Winery
(such as the Renaissance Faire, Poe, Dickens) you have seen
Amy’s art at work. She rules! And she is so very easy to
work with. |
