Pat and her husband Art were active in theatre in their native New York, and plunged right into the Denver theater scene after retiring to Colorado two years ago. Pat especially likes to direct “quirky stuff” favorites having included Veronica’s Room, Deathtrap, Victoria’s House and When You Coming Back, Red Ryder?. An experienced actress as well, in addition to her numerous credits in New York, Pat has appeared locally in House of Bernarda Alba with Arcos Azules and The Last Yankee with And Beyond Theatre Company.

Wade P. Wood - Bernard Laroque/Executive Producer
Wade has been involved in theater in the Denver area for many years as both a director and an actor. Favorite roles include Henry in The Lion in Winter, Lt. Col Jessup in A Few Good Men and as Garfinkle in Other People’s Money. Most recently he directed Run for Your Wife at Miners Alley and Mrs. Bob Cratchit’s Wild Christmas Binge here at the Vic.

Sarah Burley - Nicole
Sarah is acting because her father (a Yorkshireman) thought she needed to toughen up. It was either acting or shoveling horse manure. Since there are no horses and carts in Sheffield any more she thought: "An actor's life for me!" and moved to Denver where she could get drunk really cheaply. Her family is scattered across the globe (no, not dismembered or anything) so her fellow thespians are like her surrogate family. They aren't forcing her into manual labour so it's working out wonderfully. They did ask her if she'd go back to working at le central so they could procure some authentic croustade de champignons for the production, but to that she screamed: "Go and upstage yourself!"

Pete Nelson - The Old Man
Pete has been working in the Denver area since 1996, and is thrilled to be appearing on stage at The Vic. “I applaud and congratulate Wade for reopening The Denver Victorian Theatre.” Pete was last seen in the Miner’s Alley Playhouse production of Dead White Males. Other recent efforts include Run For Your Wife at Miner’s Alley (directed by Wade Wood), The Underpants, in 2005, and The Fantasticks in 2004. Pete holds a BSE in Speech and Theatre from Emporia State University in Kansas, and keeps his vocal skills in tune on Sunday mornings singing with the St. Gregory’s Episcopal Church Choir.

Jeff Garner - Pierre
Jeff wishes to thank Pat Goodman and the Denver Victorian Playouse for the opportunity to make his first appearance in a full production here in Denver. Jeff is a California native where he worked in theater, television and film. He fondly remembers his participation in the California Offical Outdoor play Ramona, performing the lead role in the 75th anniversary production, and his work at the Los Angeles Theater Center. During his short time in Denver Jeff has worked in this year's Western Playwrites Festival and the Brookes Playwriting Festival. You may also have seen him on public access television's airing of a local writers situation comedy. His last film work was as the male lead in Maria Ellen Chaves' USC graduate film Espiritu which dramatizes an episode in the life of his uncle; Ceaser Chavez.

Priscilla Young – Helen Trapp
This is Priscilla’s second production at “The New Vic”. She spent her teen years in the dance choruses of West Side Story, The Music Man, Oklahoma, The Pajama Game and countless musical reviews. She then moved on to such roles as Lizzie in The Rainmaker, Ms. Casewell in The Mousetrap and Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd. Her last three roles included Idat in I Never Promised You a Rose Garden and Ms. Woods in Dead White Males and Mrs. Bob Cratchit in Mrs. Bob Cratchit’s Wild Christmas Binge here at the Vic. Priscilla would like to thank her son, Sean for his support. “I could not have done it without you.”
