Julie Douglass (Elizabeth) has played roles running the gamut from Helena in A Midsummer Night’s Dream to a leper in the TV movie The Fourth Wise Man. Her most recent role was in last season’s Death in England, when she played another English woman (is this the beginning of a trend?). This also happens to be the first play she has done in quite a while in which her husband, Kirk Gardner, does not also appear.
Matthew C. J. McKnight (Mark) is a senior at Hug High School, where he has appeared in many plays, including Noises Off, California Suite, Rumors, R.U.R., and his favorite, Mary, Mary. He is enjoying playing Mark and is thankful for this opportunity to perform with Reno Little Theater.
Patrick Crabb (Tristram) played the part of Huck Finn in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in high school. He majored in Theater Arts at the University of Oregon, and attended Western Oregon State College. He played the Prince of Morroco in Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice, and Mr. Fezzywig in A Christmas Carol. He moved to Reno in 1994. This is his second community theater play, having performed in Reno Little Theater’s Twelve Angry Men, and he is enjoying the experience immensely.
Patrick Hughes (Roland) was asked to serve as House Manager for an Reno Little Theater production nine years ago and, since then, has helped in every possible capacity, from cleaning bathrooms to serving as Chairman of the Reno Little Theater Board of Directors for three years. He directed Good Bye, Charlie and performed in Arsenic and Old Lace, All My Sons, Greetings, Twelve Angry Men, and many others. His favorite task was as stage crew for Bullshot Crummond, when he had as much fun as the cast. Taking Steps has become another favorite and Pat appreciates having been cast. Some people say, "I got the part", but Roland says "I got cast." By day, Pat is employed by Washoe County.
Michael Peters (Leslie) is in his eighth season with Reno Little Theater, and this is the second time he has trod the boards in full motorcycle regalia. His previous Reno Little Theater appearances include The Lion in Winter, A Thurber Carnival, Jake’s Women, and as the blanket-toting Linus in You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Last season he made his directorial debut with The Importance of Being Earnest. He is delighted by this opportunity to participate in Reno Little Theater’s outstanding collaboration with Hug High School’s theater department. By day, James, Sean, and Katie’s Dad is an administrator in the Graduate School at UNR.
Bergen Kanoff (Kitty) made her Reno Little Theater debut last season in The Importance of Being Earnest, but she was a veteran performer at Hug High School, having appeared in Rumors, California Suite, Mary, Mary, and others. She is now studying theater at UNR, but returned to Hug High this season as Assistant Director for Noises Off.
