    as Frederick Frankenstein

    Charlie is thrilled to be making his debut with History Boy Theatre Company! A Des Moines native, he has been performing for over 25 years across the Midwest. His favorite roles to date have been Dr. Frankenstein in Young Frankenstein with the Des Moines Community Playhouse (for which he won a Cloris award for Best Lead Actor in a Musical), Dan in Closer with Open Door Rep, Bobby in Company with Iowa Stage Theatre Company, Princeton/Rod in Avenue Q at StageWest Theater Company, and Jason in Ordinary Days at Tallgrass Theatre Company. He would like to thank his friends and family for their continued support, Robby for this amazing opportunity, and his wife Megan for inspiring him everyday. Shout out to their pets, Elliott Patrick Swayze Helmers-Reese and Jane.

    as The Monster / Victor

    Robby is the world's leading historical furniture maker in authenticity, strength, and production. This is his 27th year in the trade and all those years his "night job" has been theatre. He's lost track of how many productions he's done but at an average of 3 shows a year you can do the math. THe last 22 shows he was also the director. Special thanks to Christina for joining in, to Disston (the cat) for being our ambassador, and to Charlie for making the drive.

    Carter has been a huge fan of this musical, "Young Frankenstein," and was thrilled to find out that History Boy was doing their own production this year. This is Carter's first performance at History Boy. His favorite role to date, was playing Mr. Tinsworthy in Carroll High School's production of "9 to 5." Carter is planning to persue a theatre degree starting at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids. Carter would like to thank his family, friends, acting coaches and everyone at History Boy for their support.
