Sean Anderson (Romeo) was born at the 121st Evac Hospital on Yongsan Army Garrison in Seoul, South Korea, and he is proud to be the second largest baby ever delivered there. He got his first taste of acting as the scary dentist in Mrs. Bough’s first grade performance of “Cavity Calamity” at Seoul American Elementary School. Despite the show’s favorable reviews, Sean decided to take a fifteen year break from acting in order to devote more time to pursuing his dream of becoming the largest baby ever born at the 121st Evac Hospital. Romeo & Juliet is the fourth play he has participated in with NFDC, and he is delighted to be working with such a wonderful bunch of dedicated directors and cast mates, as well as to have an awesome girlfriend in Stephanie, who is supportive & cool.

Lawrence Ficek (Montague/Friar John) is proud to be making another appearance with the North Fulton Drama Club. Lawrence has most recently be seen as Theseus in A Midsummer Night’s Dream with NFDC, Linus in You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown with Town & Gown Players, and Malvolio in Twelfth Night with UGA Drama. While he hopes his groundbreaking performance will cure world hunger, bring peace to the Middle East, and bring mankind closer to the answer to the meaning of life (which, incidentally, is 42), he realizes that – at the very least – entertaining people for an evening will suffice. That is his hope, at least. Also check out the really well-built set that he helped design and build.

This is the fifth North Fulton Drama Club production for Dorie Turner (Lady Capulet). She previously appeared in Twelfth Night, Much Ado About Nothing and The Merry Wives of Windsor and herded cats backstage for A Midsummer Night’s Dream. When she’s not acting, she is a reporter with The Associated Press’ Atlanta office. Dorie would like to thank her castmates, Alyssa, Thomas, Nikki and her partner in crime, John.

David Morgen (Tybalt) is a freelance writer and photographer. He’s previously been in three performances with NFDC.

Jessica DeMaria (Nurse) previously appeared as Helena in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Once again, she has had a fabulous time working with all these wonderful folks. She would especially like to thank Alyssa, Thomas and Nikki for their dedication and hard work. Thanks to Julie for being easy to love, and to her Mom, Patty, for providing the inspiration for a Nurse who is frantic, hilarious, loving, and just a little bit crazy. Thanks to Husband who learned lots of new vocabulary while running lines with her. She’d also like to thank Ben for existing. And also the 80s for rocking.

Julie Gibbs (Juliet) is a recent graduate of Shorter College, where she received a BFA in Theatre. She has most recently appeared in The Tempest and Much Ado About Nothing, both with The Shakespeare Studio, Arcadia at PushPush Theatre, and BASH at Onstage Atlanta. She would like to thank everyone at NFDC for giving her the opportunity to perform one of her favorite roles, and for their endless joy and patience. She would also like to thank her wonderful family, friends, and of course, Corey, without whom she could not understand the meaning of true love.

Peyton Clark (Paris) is a freshman at Pope High School. He has had many theatre roles including Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors and Troy in High School Musical. He plays football and sings in his church choir. Thanks go out to his family who bring him to all rehearsals and to his directors and fellow castmates for making it fun to do Shakespeare.

Adam Levenstein (Sampson/Watch) is returning to the theater world after an absence of three years, when he received an MAT nomination for Best Major Supporting Actor for playing “Banjo” in The Man Who Came to Dinner. Prior to that, Adam was involved in the productions of The Murder of St. Christopher’s, Father of the Bride, and On Golden Pond, all with the Cumming Attractions Theater Company.

Jarroll White (Benvolio) was born near Seattle, Washington and began acting at the age of 15. He has appeared on stage all across the country, from Seattle to Los Angeles and Atlanta. Most recently (and locally) he has appeared in Butterflies are Free (OARCo), Dearly Departed (Act 1), and in the Old Time Radio Show (Caravan). Jarroll has also been a part of several improv comedy troupes including Runs With Scissors, based out of Chatanooga, TN. He would like to thank God for all of the gifts and blessings he has bestowed upon him! He would like to thank Nikki for suggesting he bleach his hair for that Billy Idol look, Johanna for putting up with it, and his parents for being awesome and supportive.

Jim Dailey (Capulet) - Favorite local acting credits include Don in Butterflies Are Free (OARCo), Dr. Armstrong in And Then There Were None (Kudzu), Peter Quince in A Midsummer Night’s Dream (NFDC), and the many characters he portrayed in the Christian drama John, His Story (ACT1). He has also directed very successful productions of Dearly Departed (ACT1) and The Boys Next Door (OARCo) which was nominated for seven Metropolitan Atlanta Theater Awards, including Best Overall Performance of a Play. He would like to thank the (un)usual suspects for their never ending love and support and God for His many gifts and the opportunities to use them.

Qate Bean has clearly been too busy practicing Method Acting for her role of Mercutio to write a bio. Her fabulous performance is brought to you by shiny pants and the Letter Q.

Patrick Lundy (Friar Laurence) relishes this opportunity to stretch his acting legs by playing a more serious character this time around (After all, even he can’t be loony ALL the time!). He thanks everyone in the cast for their hard work and many laughs; Nikki, Thomas, and Alyssa for their support and encouragement; and to his family for giving him the occasional reminder that insanity can sometimes be hereditary.

Thomas Strickland (Prince/Apothecary) is pleased to take the stage again in a play he previously directed in 2001. Usually Thomas is in the directors’ chair, but has been seen on stage in NFDC’s 2006 production of Love’s Labour’s Lost as Don Armado. He would like to thank his wife, Nikki, for being an endless source of inspiration and support, and their cats, Daeva and Daksha, for being cute, furry, and using the litter box regularly.

Kevin Bolden (Gregory/Watch) got his start in theater in 1981 at his community church, Corinthian Missionary Baptist in Mobile, AL. This is Kevin’s third Community Theater performance having previously taken the stage in Old Alabama Road Company’s productions of “Drowning Sorrows” and “The Boys Next Door”. Kevin was honored with a nomination for Best Actor in a Leading Role from the Metropolitan Atlanta Theater Awards for his work in “The Boys Next Door”. He would like to thank the NFDC cast and crew for being so easy to work with. A special thanks to his family for their love and support.
