Broadway RFD

Who's Who

Gary Demuth

as Fagin

During the day, Gary is a reporter for the Salina Journal, but he is also heavily involved in the theatre, both at BRFD and Salina Community Theatre. He has appeared in "Young Frankenstein" at SCT, but he has also directed "Pirates of Penzance" and "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" at BRFD. He has decided that directing is fun and acting is fun, but doing both at the same time is challenging!
Bill Olson

Orchestra Director

Bill is a retired music teacher, and has been involved with Broadway RFD since 1990, both onstage and behind the baton. His last two shows were "Pirates of Penzance" and "Guys and Dolls." His hobbies include archaeology, camping, playing the trombone, and attending musical theatre.
Tamara Dahlsten

Choreographer

Tamara has been working as choreographer for BRFD for many years. She has done choreography for our adult productions such as "Guys and Dolls" but also our BRFD Jr. productions. Her family is very important to her: her husband, Jim, as well as her two sons, Jonathan and Laurence, who are also in "Oliver." Tamara can also be seen as the dance director for the Lindsborg Swedish Folk Dancers.
Stephanie Gerry

as Widow Corney

This is the first time Stephanie has been musical director for BRFD. When no onstage, Stephanie is a music teacher at the Lyric Academy of Music in Salina. She has recently appeared in "Miracle on 34th Street" with the Salina Community Theatre and "Carmen" with the Wichita Grand Opera. She is thrilled to be able to perform with her daughter, Lydia, for the first time!
Wyatt Odell

as Oliver Twist

Wyatt will be a 7th grader at Smoky Valley Middle School. He appeared last year in BRFD's production of "Bugsy Malone, Jr." He has 3 siblings, Grant, Gavyn, and Catherine, and he loves spending time with his family. He especially loves seeing the new cars that his Grandpa can't resist buying!
