Exclusive Show Sponsor
Laura Hopkins
Laura Hopkins has been a generous sponsor of the Little Theatre’s gala
fundraising musicals since the premiere of My Generation in 2012. As a business
owner and busy executive, Laura cannot always attend each and every show
during the Little Theatre season, but she is truly one of our biggest fans, and says
that she supports the Little Theatre so that talented theatre artists, both onstage
and behind the scenes, can share their craft with our wonderful Central Coast
community. In addition to her support of the Little Theatre, Laura is a generous
supporter of many other SLO County non-profit organizations, particularly
our local humane societies. Many thanks to Laura and to all of our dedicated
sponsors and supporters, for their generosity and commitment to bringing the
magic of live theatre to San Luis Obispo year after year.

Meet our new Volunteer Director
and House Manager
Lacey McNamara is probably a very familiar face to many of you. She played Marian
the Librarian in last season’s sold-out production of The Music Man and has served
as Musical Director for dozens of shows on the Central Coast. Now she’s taking on
a new role here at the theatre and we couldn’t be happier. As Volunteer Director
and Front of House Manager, Lacey will oversee all hospitality and volunteer
activities related to making your experience at the Little Theatre absolutely
delightful. Please join us in welcoming Lacey to our staff family!
About Lacey Mcnamara
Born and raised on the Central Coast, Lacey grew up in a very musical family. She
started taking piano lessons when she was four years old and continued playing
through college (and still does!) Her first experiences with theatre were sitting on
her father’s trumpet case in the orchestra pit while he played for musicals with
Pioneer Players. Over more than 20 years, she has been involved with nearly 100
theatrical productions with companies from Paso Robles to Santa Maria, serving
as actor, volunteer, technician, stage
manager, and music director. Lacey
holds a BA in Business Administration
from University of La Verne and is
a certificated substitute teacher for
the Atascadero School District. She
accompanies the choirs at Atascadero
Jr. High School and plays piano for
Coastal Adult School voice classes.
She owns and manages a music
business with her wife, Danielle,
teaching private piano and voice
lessons, offering parent/child music
classes for infants and toddlers,
providing monthly workshops for
musicians and actors, and facilitating
music and movement sessions for
adults. Lacey is honored to be a part
of the Little Theatre staff!

Cast
Casey Canino (Fraulien Kost) marks her second Little Theatre appearance
following her debut earlier this season as Catherine in The Foreigner.
Casey, who earned her BFA in Musical Theatre at Cal State Fullerton, has
performed with numerous West Coast companies including The Lake Tahoe
Shakespeare Festival, Santa Maria’s PCPA, Performance Riverside, and
Sacramento’s New Helvetia Theatre. Among her favorite roles are Natalie
in Next to Normal, Wendla in Spring Awakening, Rosemary in How to Succeed in Business
Without Really Trying, Holly in The Wedding Singer, and Celia in As You Like It. Many thanks
to the wonderful cast and crew!
Kerry DiMaggio (Lulu/Kit Kat Girl) has thoroughly enjoyed exercising different
muscles – literally and figuratively – to prepare for Cabaret. Kerry holds a
BA in Theatre Arts from Cal Poly, where she acted in The Crucible, Animal
Farm, and The Heidi Chronicles among others. She has also performed in
PCPA’s The Eight: Reindeer Monologues, and in A Christmas Carol at The
Great American Melodrama. Favorite Little Theatre shows include Singin’ in
the Rain, Oklahoma, and Watergate. Kerry also serves as Education Director for the Academy
of Creative Theatre (ACT), the Little Theatre’s program for young performers. Much love to
Gramma Toni, who also shared a passion for Cabaret.
Jackie Edwards (Fraulein Schneider) is honored to be part of a dazzling
show featuring so many talented performers. Jackie, who earned her BFA
in Theatre from Pacific Lutheran University, has had many enjoyable roles,
but her fondest was Aldonza in Man of La Mancha where she met her
wonderful husband Phil. Jackie has performed in a variety of Central Coast
shows including Some Enchanted Evening at the Little Theatre, Carmen
with Opera SLO, Les Miserables with Chameleon Productions, and most recently as Mrs.
Potts in Kelrik Productions’ Beauty and the Beast.
Mike Fiore (Cliff) is happy to be working in his hometown again. He was last
on the SLO Little Theatre stage in 2014 as Cheche in an Ubu’s Other Shoe
staged reading of Anna in the Tropics. He also has enriched various other
productions over the years at The Great American Melodrama and PCPA.
Mike is grateful for the opportunity to perform again for the Little Theatre’s
discerning audiences.
Chris Forrer (Bobby) is excited about his Little Theatre debut, and grateful for
this talented cast’s generous support. For the past two years, Chris has been
the directing intern at Santa Maria’s PCPA, where he directed the Education
Outreach Tour production of Tomás and the Library Lady in 2014. Before
moving to the Central Coast, Chris earned a degree in Theatre Arts from
Linfield College (Oregon), where he directed, designed, and acted in more
than a dozen productions. Love always to Daphne, my fiancé.

mainstage productions including The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling
Bee, A Chorus Line, Some Enchanted Evening, and Lend Me a Tenor; in

Other Empty Threats), and in several Ubu’s Other Shoe readings. Also on

the Company Manager for Santa Maria’s PCPA. She has previously worked
at Berkeley Repertory Theatre, Central City Opera and Cleveland Play
House. A trained classical singer, Katie recently performed in Little Theatre’s
production of The Music Man as Zaneeta. Other Little Theatre shows
include Some Enchanted Evening , The Sound of Music, We’re Canceling
Cable (And Other Empty Threats) and Ubu’s Other Shoe staged readings. Warmest thanks to
the cast and crew for this experience.
Shaley Gunther (Helga/Kit Kat Girl) is making her second appearance on the
Little Theatre stage after a season-long hiatus since her 2014 appearance in
Play On, A Suzy Miller Dance Spectacular. Shaley has also enjoyed working
behind the scenes as backstage crew for Little Theatre productions, most
recently for A Christmas Story. Shaley has also appeared in Cuesta College
productions, including Pool ‘63 and Xanadu.
Holly Halay (Sally Bowles) couldn’t have asked for a more dedicated and
professional group of artists with whom to share her first Little Theatre
experience. Holly has appeared in PCPA productions of My Fair Lady
(ensemble), The Penelopiad (Melantho), Spring Awakening (Thea) and
in various other PCPA conservatory projects including Macbeth and A
Midsummer Night’s Dream. She also has appeared in Stockton Civic Theatre
productions of Hairspray (Penny Pingleton) and Grease (Rizzo), and in San Joaquin Delta
College’s production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (Schwartzy). Thank
you, dear audience, for allowing us to share this story with you.
Life is a cabaret ol' chum
so come to the Cabaret!
Season 2015-2016
23
Cast
Michelle Hansen (Ruby/Kit Kat Girl) appreciates the opportunity to work
with this talented cast and crew. A recent P90X fitness graduate and
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Certified Practitioner, Michelle enjoys eating
lean proteins and analyzing how those around her display their inborn
personality preferences. Previous Little Theatre involvement includes
Assistant Choreographer for The Music Man, Bebe Benzenheimer in
A Chorus Line, Cindy Lou Huffington in The Marvelous Wonderettes, Starshine in My
Generation, and Gertie Cummings in Oklahoma! She thanks Zach Johnson, Suzy Newman,
and John Battalino for their guidance and encouragement.
Nicole Holst (Rosie/Kit Kat Girl) is grateful to be playing one of her dream
roles and to be reunited with her SLO Little Theatre family. This is Nicole’s
second Little Theatre season, her debut being last year’s Singin’ in the Rain
(Featured Dancer). Prior to this, Nicole performed in New York for seven
years as a singer-songwriter and dancer-choreographer while producing
Off Broadway shows. She has a BA in Dance from Cal State Long Beach and
has performed in everything from ballet companies to bluegrass bands and, luckily, cabaret
shows. Enjoy and leave your troubles behind!
Amanda Johnson (Fritzie/Kit Kat Girl) is a re-localized San Luis Obispoan.
Having returned from a recent stint at Humboldt State University in Arcata
where she majored in dance and minored in music, she is trying her hand at
musical theater. Fritzie is her first SLO Little Theatre role.
John Mackey (Max) is pleased to be working with another group of fun and
energetic professionals in his fourth Little Theatre production. Previous
roles include John Birt in Frost/Nixon, The Diction Coach in last year’s
Singin’ in the Rain, Sheriff Locke/Traveling Salesman in The Music Man, and
backstage tech for The Foreigner. He is grateful to his family for supporting
his need for the spotlight – and for listening to him mutter lyrics and lines to
himself for weeks at a time. Willkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome.
Emily Segal (Susie/Kit Kat girl) is excited to return to the company that
introduced her to the world of musical theatre when she was five years old.
Even though Emily is pursuing a medical degree, certain casting calls must
be answered, and Cabaret is among them. Other favorite shows include
Grease, Gypsy, and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Emily,
who earned her B.A. in comparative literature at UC Santa Barbara, also
sings, writes songs and plays piano and guitar. She is indebted to her family and friends for
enduring years and years of her singing, dancing and acting exercises.

Cast
Michael Siebrass (Herr Schultz) is appearing in his second Little Theatre
musical, the first in which he sings. Michael has been deeply involved in
Little Theatre productions since 2002. His acting credits include Camelot,
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Taking Leave, Spinning into Butter, and
It’s a Wonderful Life. Director credits include Anne of Green Gables, The
Secret Garden, Inherit the Wind, and Art. He is founder and artistic director
for Ubu’s Other Shoe, a Little Theatre program of staged readings. In 2015, Michael received
the Claire Gates Lifetime Achievement Award for his artistic contributions. He hopes you
enjoy the play. This schnapps is for you!
Toby Tropper (Emcee) is very happy to return to the Little Theatre stage,
previously playing Picasso in Picasso at the Lapin Agile and David Frost in
the Ubu’s Other Shoe reading of Frost/Nixon. This past year he performed
in several Great American Melodrama productions. He has performed with
other California companies including PCPA, the Rubicon Theatre Company
(Ventura), and The Kingsmen Shakespeare Company (Thousand Oaks).
In 2014, Broadway World Los Angeles named Toby Best Featured Actor in a Play (Touring
Production) for his work in Rubicon Theatre’s Noises Off. Originally from Ventura, Toby is a
proud graduate of PCPA (2013).

Crew
Phil Edwards (Props) loves supporting the cast by creating those tools essential to
all shows, props and other things. He has been involved in all aspects of theater
operations, from on stage to backstage and in the lobby somewhere. By day he
works in the music industry supporting and administrating a music electronics
company. Love to wife Jackie, aka Frau Schneider.
David Linfield (Set Design) designs all of the Little Theatre’s Mainstage productions.
The theater bug bit David in 1990 when an audition notice for a community
theater production caught his fancy. Over the years, he has migrated away from
performing onstage to behind the scenes, embracing technical stagecraft as his
calling. David’s educational background in graphic design and his work experience
in retail display and housing construction have blended together nicely to inform
his passion for designing and building sets.
Keith Wetzel (Costume Designer) has been designing, building, renting and selling
costumes on the Central Coast for almost 30 years. While co-owner of Costume
Capers, Keith kept San Luis Obispo looking good from Mardi Gras to Halloween
and all points in-between. His local costume career began with Cuesta College’s
musical theatre program in the 1980s creating the costumes for hundreds of
students and dozens of shows over 15 years. In addition to his creative costuming
for many Little Theatre shows, Keith’s work has also graced shows for Kelrik
Productions here and in Los Angeles.

The Show Must Go On!
Unforgettable characters. Extraordinary stories. Since 1947.
As we begin the New Year here at the Little Theatre, we are bursting with
pride and gratitude! Thanks to exceptional local talent led by professional
directors, the quality of our productions has been flourishing. Attendance
is growing at a record-setting pace. Our average audience size for all
performances is at 93% of our capacity and our ACT educational program
is bursting at the seams! Finally, our recent acquisition of the 5,000+
costume inventory from SLO’s Costume Capers store will enhance our
own productions and provide a resource for the entire Central Coast
performing arts community for years to come.
Thank you for your support.
It’s your generosity at work when the lights come up on an intimate Little
Theatre production. Simply put, your tax deductible gifts are indispensable
to our success.
Your investment helps us keep the tap shoes tapping, the children learning,
the music playing, the lights on, and great theater onstage in San Luis
Obispo, now and into the future.
