Southgate Community Players

Who's Who

Katie Baxter

as Lady Monica Wickenham

Katie was first on stage in the role of “Pink Bunny from Magician’s Hat” at the age of three. She has loved performing ever since. Katie studied in the highly exclusive department of Musical Theater at WMU. Most recently, Katie played the Boar's Head Herald in Grosse Ile’s Christmas tradition, The Boar’s Head Festival. She is thrilled to be performing for the first time with the Southgate Community Players and has enjoyed every minute of it!
Melissa Bergermann

as Unidentified Blonde

Melissa is grateful to have been cast in the two shows at SCP that were Mike and Josie Stec's directorial debuts (the first being Glory and Marci in Almost, Maine)! She was also in The Producers’ ensemble at Inspire Theatre. She would like to thank her husband Aric, and her family and friends for their love and support. Also, Mike and the rest of the cast and crew for their outstanding work after everyone caught their breath from laughing so much!
Paul Bruce

as Pierre Pourri

Paul is thrilled to be working with this incredible cast under the direction of the talented Mike Stec. He is probably best known for creating the musicals, MADAME X (Chicago Center For The Performing Arts) and A PERFECTLY NORMAL BOY (Sanford Meisner Theater NYC). He appeared here last year as The Stage Manager in OUR TOWN. He enjoys both directing and choreographing and thanks his wonderful husband James for his love and support.
Justin Dietzel

as Benjamin Braddock

After six long, undramatic years, Justin is ecstatic to be back on the stage! He owes SCP a rather large sum of farthings for inviting him to be a part of this insane ruckus of a play! He also thanks the surrounding talent (on and off the stage) for being such fantastic artists and human beings to work with!! Enjoy the show - or it’ll go harder on you at trial!!!
