Michael Weisnicht

as Robert Martin

Michael Weisnicht takes on the role of Robert Martin in The Drowsy Chaperone. Now in his third year with Thespian Troupe 10316 and fifth year in theater, he has performed in numerous productions, even before joining the troupe. His past roles include a pig in The Three Little Pigs, Colonel Hathi in Jungle Book Jr., Pumbaa (and briefly Mufasa) in Lion King Jr., Wiesel in Newsies Jr., Google in The Internet is Distract—OH LOOK A KITTEN!, Shrek in Shrek: The Musical, and Kris in Polar Twilight.

Beyond theater, Michael enjoys gaming, traveling (his first time out of Wisconsin was last June with the Tigerton Music Department), and participating in FFA. He sends a heartfelt shoutout to his family, friends, Mr. Rewerts (director), Thespian Troupe 10316, and Samantha Suehring (assistant director). He hopes everyone enjoys the show as much as he enjoys performing in it!

Cole Erdmann

as George

Cole Erdmann shines as George in The Drowsy Chaperone, where he not only captivates audiences on stage but also lends his creative talents to set design. As a freshman with an impressive theater background, Cole has appeared in productions such as 101 Dalmatians, The Three Piggy Opera, Jungle Book, School House Rock, Lion King Jr., Newsies Jr., Shrek, and multiple one-act plays. When he’s not in the spotlight, Cole enjoys playing games with friends, participating in his 4-H club and the Tigerton and Marion Trap team, and practicing Taekwondo—where his red belt stands as a symbol of his self-discipline and perseverance. He extends a heartfelt thank you to all the cast members, especially Jim on his final year with the theater, and to his parents for their unwavering support.
