Meet The Cast of Noises Off

This is the first production at The Little Theatre for Kristen. She's very excited to be a part of this hilarious cast! Originally from Oregon, she's been in the area for several years and works for Jefferson City Oral Surgery. Recent productions include Lily St. Regis in Annie & Adelaide in Guys and Dolls, both at Capital City Productions.

John is a lifelong Missourian, nature lover and creative talent. He has been involved with radio, television and theatre since graduating from the University of Missouri in 1992. He moved to Jefferson City in 2005 following a career in state government. Since then, he has performed in numerous productions at TLT and has served as past-president of TLT.

Jonah Beard is a Columbia resident and special education teacher at Rock Bridge High School. This is his first production with TLT. He has been in numerous community theatre productions across Missouri and Kansas, including Mamma Mia!, Elf the Musical and Matilda the Musical. He'd like to thank all of his family and friends for supporting him.

Brian loves traveling (especially to England or Italy), cooking and his dog Scrappy. Favorite past roles include Edna Turnblatt (Hairspray), Geoffrey Plantangent (The Lion in Winter), and Buddy Fiddler (City of Angels). He has served in various positions on TLT's board & if you have bought tickets in the last 15 years, he has probably filled your order!

Barry grew up around TLT watching his parents perform, and was bitten by the acting bug right away. He is proud to have performed, done tech, and/or directed for all four Jefferson City community theaters over the years He is ecstatic to have been cast in Noises Off, as it is one of his top bucket list plays. He would like to thank Maria for casting him, his family for the support they always show him in his many theatrical endeavors, and his cast mates for putting up with his often Selsdon-like behavior in rehearsals (minus the whiskey, of course).

James Wakefield is honored to have Michael Frayn's magnum opus be his Jefferson City debut show. He would like to thank his family, friends, I-63 motorists, and give a very special thanks to the cast and crew of the 2022 production of Noises Off at Rock Bridge High School.
