He currently performs with gospel group Shepherd’s Quarter, and occasionally with Ivorywinds and Trinity Quartet. He thanks Amy and the very talented cast for letting him be a part of this truly original production.

Donna Rickel isn't telling her age, but she admits to listening to the original Baby Snooks on the radio. She has been in "The Theater" in one form or another since appearing in her sister's first production in the haymow on the family farm. Since then Donna has played roles from a drunken housekeeper to Dolly Levy, with stops along the way as a murdering sweet old lady and Swedish maid. On a much smaller scale, she plays to preschool audiences as the Waupaca Library's Reading Grandma. And she occasionally takes on the role of Mrs. Kris Kringle.
Amy Kurylo is a jack of many trades in the world of the arts. She has loved writing, directing and being a part of these shows. Amy also is a vocal instructor at the Waupaca High School, a songwriter, and a vocalist for the River Cities Jazz Band which is an 18 piece orchestra in central Wisconsin. Amy would like to thank WEGA ARTS, her friends, family - including her mother, husband Mike, Brianna and Phillip for being so supportive of this project.
