    George Cummings

    as Vanya

    has spent many years on stage and has a few dozen theatrical credits to his name. A short list of favorite roles include Joe Keller in All My Sons, Franz Liebkind in The Producers, and Milo Tindle in Sleuth. He owes his motivation to his lovely wife, Margie.

     

     

     

  • Mia Zumsteg head shot

    Mia Zumsteg

    as Sonia

    Just like Peter Pan, Mia Zumsteg doesn’t want to grow up. That’s why theatre is so important to her. She can keep playing no matter what age. She wants to thank Shanan for this amazing opportunity. She is having a blast with a fantastic group.

     

     

     

  • Nancy Lantis head shot

    Nancy Lantis

    as Masha

    was in a production of The Seagull way back when. She played Polina Andreyevna, the ignored wife of a groundskeeper and mother of an Emo girl and she was having an affair with the doctor … yes, Chekhov wrote soap operas. More recently she was in Dig Deep’s The Glass Menagerie, Eclipse Theatre LA’s Beachcomber, Off Book Theatre Co’s Theatre in a Week Holiday Edition as well as some TV, fleetingly: 9-1-1, The Lincoln Lawyer, and soon NCI:Origins. She is currently writing (almost done!) The Show Must Go On! for ETLA, which she will also direct and act in… what control issues? She is so grateful to get to play on stage with this amazing group of actors under the generous and insightful direction of Ms. Harrell. Love and gratitude to Phil, without whom none of this would be happening.

  • Sean Babcock head shot

    Sean Babcock

    as Spike

    is a member of The Group Rep Theatre in North Hollywood, where he’s been on stage a few times, absolutely killing it every time.  After this play he wants to focus more on film/TV, either sitcoms or Mission Impossible.  When he’s not acting, you can catch Sean selling VOSS Water to restaurants and hotels across California. Sean’s also very loyal to his alma mater UCLA, where he played Rugby and won floor MVP his freshman year.  Sean aspires to be like Spike in every area of his life. Just kidding. But a little bit… Thanks for coming! :)
