Meet the Cast

Keith Behrendt (Franklin Elsworth Van Gundy III) is making his debut on the Dover Players’ stage. He is a worship leader at Ascension Lutheran Church in North Olmsted as well as working two jobs, as a Systems Engineer and as an Instructor at Tri-C. Keith enjoys singing and dancing and has found the challenge of a live show thrilling. He would like to thank the director for welcoming and leading him. Keith hopes to be involved with other performances in the future.

Adam Campbell (Bud Dudley) is appearing in his seventh play with Dover Players. He performed in such shows as Footloose (as Reverend Shaw), Thoroughly Modern Millie (as Jimmy Smith) and The Untold Casefiles of Sherlock Holmes (as Owen Mortimer). Adam is a senior at Cleveland State University with a double major in Middle Childhood Education and Theater.

Jeff Campbell (Director / Spud Dudley) is making his third collaboration with Dover Players. The original intent was to just “Direct the Play”, but as MAMA would say, “The show MUST go on”, so he took on the role as Spud, Bud’s (much) older brother. Bud is played by Adam Campbell, Jeff’s son. They last worked together in Fresh Start at the Sunrise Laundromat, and on stage in OPA’s 2006 production of West Side Story. In his youth, Jeff was in The Music Man, Guys and Dolls, and

a number of other plays. He is presently the Rehab Technology Manager for Hastings Professional Medical Equipment and is the Scoutmaster for Troop 664 and the committee chair for “All Scouts Weekend”. Jeff is extremely appreciative of his wife’s (Liz) understanding for his little mid-life crisis play production.

Lynn Galicki (Margaret Stickler) started out as a Lily

Doran Dancer at the age of five. She has performed at

Florida. She is currently involved with several community theaters in the Cleveland area. Lynn would like to thank Bill Royse, Jeff Campbell, Josh Landis, and the outstanding cast of Eubank for making this such a fun

and enjoyable run, and Linda and Jan for their costuming expertise.

Bill Graham (J.C. Paddington) is glad to be back acting after a five year break. His home theater is the Cassidy Theater in Parma. He promised his wife that he’d only do one play a year. Hopefully she forgot this by now. Bill says he loves working with this great group of suckers …. um, people. ^J

Mitra Jahangiri (Paula Quartermain) is excited to début her talents with the Dover Players. In the past she has appeared in the music video Sunny Monday by the local Cleveland band, The Covert Operation. Currently, she is pursuing a Masters in Nutrition and Dietetics in Kent State University. She would like to thank her sisters, Susan and Sudy, and her good friends for their love and support.

Lisa O’Halloran (Penny Wise) is making her debut on the Dover Player’s stage. She was a former show choir geek in high school and college and is happy to be singing and dancing again. Lisa is an occupational therapist for Cleveland Metropolitan Schools and

Cleveland Clinic Children’s Rehab in Westlake. She would like to thank her family for their support and Jeff and the cast of Eubank for this exciting opportunity.

Holly Prather (Billie Nichols) has been singing her whole life, and has had years of vocal training under Robert Becker with Baldwin Wallace College. In 2009, she started doing her own shows simply titled “Holly,

Singing Songs From The 20-40’s”, and now she sings them regularly at about 50 retirement communities, assisted living facilities, and nursing. She recently branched out to become active in theatre with her first performance last December in 1940’s Radio Christmas

Carol by the Strongsville Community Theater, and most recently in Smoke Ring with the Dover Players. She loves to ride with her husband on their motorcycles; enjoys traveling and camping with her daughter and step son, Alex, who is 12 years old and visits them from England each summer.

Marilyn Ransom (Clara) is making her seventh appearance with the Dover Players. She appeared as an eccentric client in two Sherlock Holmes plays, an old witch in Stories from the Witch House, the granny in Little Miss What's Her Name and with her husband Bill as the foreign couple in A Fresh Start at the Sunrise Laundromat and as the sister-in-law of Roger Ackroyd in The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. She and her husband Bill

love volunteering with the Dover Players and attending classes at CSU.

Charlie Smith (Harold Draw) is a junior at North Olmsted High School and has appeared in grade school plays as part of the ensemble, but in Eubank he takes on his first speaking role. He has appeared in the recent film, Kings of Summers. Charlie also enjoys working behind the camera as cinematographer and film editor of videos produced with friends and family. He would like to thank his wonderful father for coaching him and introducing him to the world of theater.

DIRECTOR’S NOTES

As MAMA would say, “You never know where Life’s road will lead you, so ENJOY the ride!” Finer words cannot be spoken. I was reminded of that recently when one of the cast members (you have to guess which one), said to me, I remember seeing you as a Freshman in High School and you were a Senior on stage singing “King TUT” as Steve Martin. It is an amazing small world.

The road to the WORLD PREMIER of the play EUBANK, has been a FUN ride. I cannot say thank you enough for all the people who helped make it possible and forgive me if I have forgotten anyone. First, Bill Royse for writing the basis of a great “Family Friendly” play and then just turning it over to me and saying “Go for it,” Greg Lavelle for being my coach and advisor, Mark & Linda Little for being my “Wingmen” and filling in the details, Beverle Martindale & Todd Evangelista for Dover Players and having them allow me to Direct the play, John Hastings for the use of the Bed, Josh Landis for making songs come to life on stage, Jessica Campbell for being my sounding board with the re-writes, to Nicky at www.improvaudio.com for making the songs sound so great, Mom and Dad, who always supported me (Dad I know you are watching me on this one), my son Adam, who coached and helped me with the play and took time out of his CSU theatre schedule to be in his dad’s “little play”, and my Fantastic Cast and Crew, for without them this would not be possible.

I would especially like to thank my wife Liz and my son Ben for being caring and understanding of needs while creating the play and of my Mid-Life search for the meaning of life, love and the celebration of “New Teller Windows.”
