Who's Who

Karis Slaughter

as A Woman, Jean

Karis never feels more like herself than when she’s on stage as someone else. DCC Credits include: COUSIN (21 Chump Street), AD (Alice By Heart) and STUDENT PRODUCER (Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief Musical). Karis can often be found selling books, gaming, thrifting questionable pieces, and finishing her business degree…eventually. For Mom, always your angel baby.
Kayla Suarez-Alvarez

as A Woman, Jean

Kayla has a strong passion for theatre and loves exploring stories that highlight human connection. She is especially drawn to work that challenges actors and audiences to think more deeply about the world around them. Kayla would like to thank her friends, family, and mentors for their constant support.
Robert Yoli

as A Dead Man Gordon

Robert is typically behind the camera as a COM major, but is now making his acting debut! Robert never thought of himself as an actor but took Acting I with Derek Roland and was inspired to continue the art of acting beyond the classroom. He is very excited to explore acting as a personal experience, rather than an observation from behind a lens.
Amethyst Melendez

as A Dead Man Gordon

Amethyst Melendez (Gordon Gottlieb) is 19 and performing in their 5th production at Dutchess Community College. Amethyst is a 2nd year Performing Arts major at DCC and has done several plays, musicals, and dance performances as both a cast and crew member. Amethyst can more often be found working with the Apoca-lips
Mary Tomlin

as Gordon's Mother, Mrs. Gottlieb

Mary is excited to be performing in her first ever straight play as Mrs. Gottlieb. She would love to thank AnnChris Warren for guiding her on this journey as a performer and for always believing in her and pushing her to strive for excellence. To her cast: there’s no one I’d rather be performing alongside than y’all. Thanks a million!!
