Debbie Tucker Markezich (Lenny)
Debbie took her competitive “edge” as an international figure skater out to Hollywood after graduating from Boston University, working as nanny for Lord and Lady Astor in London, and performing in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Early credits include sit-com, Living Dolls, the last season of Dallas, as well as films Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead and Eye of the Storm. Upon meeting the man of her dreams, she moved to Seattle and birthed four children in less than 3 1/2 years (four with twins!) Now that they are all in school, this stay-at-home mom has returned to the work she loves (when she’s not volunteering in class rooms) and is thrilled to be flexing her acting muscles again. Her most fulfilling roles will always be as Ron’s wife, and as “Mommy” to Jordan, Cambria, Andrea and Olivia. She’s thankful to God and her loving family for this opportunity.
Beth McCoy (Babe)
Beth is very excited for her Redwood Theatre debut! This Idaho transplant received her B.A. in Theatre from Saint Martin’s University in Lacey, WA. Some of her favorite roles include Rosannah from Brilliant Traces and Petra from A Little Night Music. While not on stage, Beth enjoys cooking, hiking, reading, and working as an Events and Marketing Coordinator as well! Beth would like to thank all of her friends, who are her family, for coming and supporting her.
Liz Moisan (Meg)
Liz has been acting in and around the Seattle area for three years. She was most recently seen in Bright Ideas for ArtAttack Theater, in which she is a company member. Her previous work for Redwood Theatre was Love, Sex, and the IRS. Liz was last seen onstage with her husband numerous years ago in Missoula, Montana.
Matt Moisan (Doc Porter)
Matt hasn’t been on the stage since college, and it makes him feel like a kid again! He spends his time running his small construction company and adoring his wife and boston terrier.
Sarah Rose Nottingham (Chick)
This is Sarah’s debut in the Pacific Northwest. In 2006 she received her BFA in Theatre Performance from Missouri State University and has been traveling the country since. Currently she works with Americorps at Asa Mercer Middle School.
Matthew Riggins (Barnette Lloyd)
Matthew is primed and ready to be acting in his Seattle debut performance. Matt is a graduate of Western Washington University where he majored in Theatre. He has been doing theatre in the Bellingham and Mount Vernon areas for the past 5 years. Some of his credits include Curly in Oklahoma! , Brad in The Rocky Horror Show, Lorenzo and the Prince of Arragon in The Merchant of Venice and Tom in The Impromptu. Matt would like to thank his fellow actors, director, stage manager and you the audience for being a part of this theatrical experience. Blessings to you and enjoy the show.

TERESA WIDNER (Director)
Teresa was last seen on stage here in Night Must Fall as the limping, grumpy, heavily accented, Mrs. Terence and her last direction here was Love, Sex, and the IRS. She began her illustrious career as a Sunflower and quickly moved up to Sugar Cookie (end cookie at stage right) and has not stopped for 37 years! Teresa received her Bachelor of Arts degree in 1991 from Western State College of Colorado, a small town similar to the one in the Shining….actually that one is in Colorado, too. Coincidence? I don’t think so. She has also been seen on the stages of Stone Soup Theatre, Driftwood Players, Theatre Schmeater, Valley Community Players, Renton Civic, and Breeder’s Theatre just to name more than a few. Always trying to take a break, but never can – theatre is her passion, football is her life (Go SEAHAWKS!). Love deeply, Live spontaneously and Laugh until ya cry!
ROY ARAUZ (Stage manager, Producer)
Roy is thrilled to be SMing for Teresa again and having the chance to work with such a great cast. Roy has also stage managed for ArtsWest, Balagan Theatre, and Downstage Left Productions, and is Company Stage Manager for Theatre9/12. As producer, most recently he produced Night Must Fall here at Redwood Theatre. A former dancer, Roy has choreographed shows for Redwood Theatre, Snoqualmie Falls Forest Theatre, Microsoft Theatre Troupe, Studio East, and Secondstory Repertory. Last spring Roy had his directorial debut here at Redwood Theatre with Chess, and will be assistant directing this spring’s Illyria, a new musical based on Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.
