GreenroomDave Aldis (Music Director) – Dave is a Sycamore Pumpkinhead and a die-hard Cubs fan! (Hey, any team can have a bad century) He has been involved with several SCP shows since 2002 including Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Damn Yankees, Annie Get Your Gun, Bye Bye Birdie and Fiddler on the Roof. He's also been a member of the pit crew for Clue, The Musical and You're a Good Man Charlie Brown. With GreenRoom Productions in Elgin/Huntley, Dave has been involved with Into The Woods and Jekyll & Hyde. “Thank you “Show People” for making Curtains such great fun! And, to my Funny Valentine – “I owe you.”

Larry Ball – (Oscar) – Larry was last seen on stage at SCP as Ewart in The Music Man. He is thankful for the many neat roles he was cast in during his 25-plus years in community theatre. He is proud to be on stage with this talented and lively cast and crew for Curtains. In “real” life,

Larry is a Transvac driver for the Voluntary Action Center. He thanks his wife, Linda, and his son, Tim, for putting up with him. Enjoy the Show!

Tim Ball (Director) – Tim is thrilled to be directing Curtains with an outstanding cast and crew. Having directed numerous plays, including And Then There Were None for Stage Coach last year, this is his first musical. He has been an active member of Stage Coach since 1989 and has worked both on stage and off stage, including the Stage Coach workshops from 2006 - 2010. He thanks everyone who's given him love and support, including his fiance Tammy.

Joe Billquist (Aaron Fox) – Joe would like to thank Tim and Dave for casting him in his first SCP show. He has been seen in many local venues including ECC Musical Theatre, NCA Theatre Company, Wheaton Drama, and Steel Beam Theatre, where he is on the Board of Directors. Some of Joe's favorite roles include Jack in Fairways, General Schmitz/Yertle the Turtle in Seussical, Senex in Forum, Greg in Sylvia, The King in Big River, Wiz in The Wiz, Mushnik in Little Shop of Horrors, Richard Henry Lee in 1776, and Waldgrave in The Nerd. “As always, much thanks to Merla for her love and support.”

Richard Christensen (Arthur, Ensemble) – Richard is happy to be making his return to Stage Coach Players. While living in Nashville, Richard was one of the founders and first president of Encore Theatre Company where he performed in The Odd Couple, Our Town, and Last One Out, an original Halloween play, among others. Richard works at NIU and enjoys his grandchildren.

Ashley Davis (Bambi) – After just finishing a year living and working in Chicago as a deckhand on the Chicago River, Ashley is thrilled to play the loveable bimbo again in the SCP production of Curtains. She's heard every type-casting joke, so there's no point in trying another one!

Ashley's favorite role is Fruma Sarah from the SCP production of Fiddler On The Roof.

Susan Edwards (Vivi, Ensemble) – This is Susan's debut show with SCP but she has been in many CCT productions. As director of the Art Attack, she was asked to be set designer for CCT's 2010 production of Willy Wonka. Susan says if she could live life over again, she would come back as a set designer or make-up artist. She would like to thank her family, husband, Jim, son Blaine, and daughters Lilia and Elena for eating many sandwiches while she was rehearsing for Curtains. I love this show. It was lots of hard work but worth every minute.
