Carolyn Cutri

Stage Manager

Carolyn has been seen singing and dancing all around Columbus. Some of her credits include shows such as Rent, Musicals of Musicals, Thoroughly Modern Millie, The Rocky Horror Show and Evil Dead. Huge shout out to Club Diversity for being awesome and making the best pizza ever! She would like to thank the cast and crew, her family and her wonderful boyfriend for putting up with her crazy ass.

Drea Blau

Drea couldn’t be happier with her decision to move back to Columbus to help start Cyclodrama. She recently decided to further change things up by returning to school to pursue her BSN. In her ever-shrinking spare time, Drea can usually be found crocheting baby hats. She would like to thank Alan for putting up with her and always having her back. Seriously, she couldn’t do it without him.

William "Rusty" Lowry Jr.

William "Rusty" Lowry has worked with 2 high schools and 6 community theater companies, on stage and off. He has a "MacGyver" reputation within the theater community as he is constantly inventing new ways of turning everyday (and not so everyday) materials into useful and creative sets, props, & special effects. He is inspired by Jimmy DiResta, Adam Savage, & Disney's Imagineers.

Alan Saunders

Alan, a US Navy vet, has been onstage and behind the scene locally since 1989 (67 productions). Alan holds strong opinions, is dedicated to nutrition/fitness and celebrates nostalgia. Alan manages a Short North restaurant and is a disc jockey. He holds a MFA in Music Theory. Alan sends a special thank you to Drea for keeping him together! Thank you for supporting local theatre!

Matt Schmitter

You won't often see Matt on stage, but he's usually either working behind the scenes or in the audience supporting the wonderful casts (hear that loud clapping that seemed to start a little too soon - yep, that's probably Matt). He’s also focused on making technology more accessible to community theatres so that they can more effectively produce shows and give back to their communities.
