Can you find the flaw in this bio?

(Frollo) Clem is thrilled to be appearing on the Barn's stage once again, after 28 years. 2022 also marks 33 years since he performed in his first ever community theater production. There have been many great productions between then and now, running the gamut from acting, directing, set and light design, even playing in a pit or two every so often. Once again, Clem shares the stage with his wife Wendy. They met here at the Barn in 1992 when Eileen made them dance partners, and the rest, as they say, is history! In real life, Clem is the Service Manager of a local pipe organ maintenance and restoration company. Many thanks to Brittany, Laura and the rest of the production staff! OLIM!!

 (Choir/Ensemble) Chris is happy to be performing in her first show for The Barn. She has previously been seen on the stage for Jenkintown Music Theatre and Willow Manor Players.  Some of her favorites include Annie, Curtains, Titanic, Music Man, Beauty and the Beast, and A Christmas Carol.

Other musical endeavors include singing with a 9 voice A cappella Renaissance group, the Philly Pops festival chorus, and recently Valley Forge Chorus, a female barbershop group.

(Clopin) Paul is thrilled to be back at the Barn appearing alongside such talented performers, familiar and new. Even better, it's his first time being directed by his wife! (...outside of home, where it is quite common.) This is also the 20th anniversary of his first Barn production (yay, Scarlet Pimpernel), and the 10th anniversary of the Barn show where he met his wife (yay, Little Shop)! More recently, Paul performed here in Catch Me If You Can (Hanratty) and directed Children of Eden and The Drowsy Chaperone. He also recently played some memorable roles at MCT: George Bailey, Malvolio, Professor Bhaer, and this past spring, Max in Lend Me a Tenor...a production 2.5 years in the making. Next, he's ready and raring to direct the jazzy film noir musical City of Angels at MCT in May. Paul is a lawyer who works as a legal content editor for a national bar exam prep course. Thank yous to the cast, Barb & Laura, Maddie K, Jenn, Rob, and the rest of the production team, notably Darian (this show was her idea!) and of course his immensely talented, part-time director and full-time wife Brittany, of whom he could not be more proud.

(Gypsy Dancers/Ensemble) Madison is ecstatic to be making her Barn debut! She makes her return to the stage having previously been seen in Fiddler on the Roof, The Drowsy Chaperone, Thoroughly Modern Millie, and Smokey Joe’s Cafe.

(Florika/Gypsy Dancer/Ensemble) Maddi is thrilled to be back at the Barn for her 17th show here!

(The Barn), Feste in Twelfth Night (MCT) and Gloria in Boeing Boeing (Facetime Theater). By day she is a veterinary technician at a local veterinary hospital.

(Gargoyle/St. Aphrodisius/Fr. Dupin) Mark is a music teacher by day and theater goer by night! This is his first show in the cast at the Barn, but was last at the Barn playing Little Shop of Horrors back in 2012!  He is the Resident Music Director for Sine Timore in Glenside, vocal directs for ASH theater, plays for several musicals a year, and is obviously in shows himself!

As always, much love to Paula and Ella!

Past shows here and elsewhere include Little Shop of Horrors (Audrey), Catch Me If You Can (Brenda Strong), Cinderella (Cinderella) and ensemble in numerous shows including The Wedding Singer, Children of Eden and Curtains. You can also find Brittany directing at several schools in the Philadelphia area. So much TLC went into this production- big thanks to all of the production team, I would not have been able to keep my head on straight without you! To Darian, the shy 15-year-old from my first production, I am so very proud of what we created together. Love and luck to the cast and pitt, especially Paul-the best thing about The Barn was bringing me to you! Enjoy the bells! 

(Asst. Director) Darian is making her directing debut in Hunchback of Notre Dame. Darian’s favorite song in Hunchback is “Hellfire.” She participated in a few of the Barn’s youth productions including: You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown, Little Mermaid, Aladdin. Darian loves working with the Barn for many reasons, but one is that she practically grew up in this playhouse. When she isn’t working full time, Darian spends her free moments as a content creator and a Philly-based makeup artist. She enjoys wearing many different hats in the Barn’s production. This is her first time as an Assistant Director and it is by far her favorite. Special thanks to her friends, family, her cat Minnie, and most importantly Brittany for teaching her everything she knows about directing- this dream never would have become a reality without her. She is so grateful for the opportunity and is very excited for what’s to come in her future as a Director. 

(Choreographer) Maddie is very excited to be back at The Barn choreographing another show, and she is especially excited to be doing so with our incredible director Brittany. Maddie has been dancing for over 25 years and doing theater for over 10 years. Some of her favorite theater roles have been Smee in Peter Pan, a Silly Girl in Beauty and the Beast, and an Angel in Anything Goes. This is the 5th show she has choreographed and her second time doing so at The Barn. Maddie wants to thank her boyfriend for his help and being okay with being dragged around when she's figuring out steps when she's choreographing and dealing with listening to the same 30 seconds of a song on repeat for hours. She also wants to thank the cast and production staff for making this show such a joy to work on.

 (Music Director) Laura wants to thank Brittany and Darien for the opportunity to cross Hunchback off her Disney Musicals bucket list. She has had a great time working with the ridiculously talented cast, crew, and staff and hopes to cross paths with everyone again soon.  When not behind a  piano keyboard, Laura can be found behind a computer keyboard freelancing as a programmer/developer/analyst.

(Asst. Music Director/ Conductor) Barbara is a former high school band director who remains actively involved in music through her involvement in local community theater either playing woodwind instruments in the pit orchestra, serving as music director and/or conducting. Barbara continues to teach instrumental music via private lessons and plays clarinet in The Wind Symphony of Southern NJ. Barbara’s passion for music is equaled by her husband Aaron who she met in a pit orchestra at The Barn!

(Producer) Jenn is usually seen on stage but thought she’d give behind the scenes a shot. She’ll also be filling in as Stage Manager for one performance. Hopefully nothing goes wrong! Break a leg cast and crew! 

(Stage Manager) Gabi wants to thank Jenn Smith for forcing her to write this bio, which she really didn’t want to do…She would have been fine without having one. :) As far as her theater resume goes,  she’s done way too many shows and spends way too many hours at various theaters. And for that reason, she most likely needs a nap. Catch Gabi living at Shannondell for the next few months without reaping any of the benefits of the old folks home (aka she’s producing the next few MCT shows and neglecting her sleep schedule yet again.) Enjoy the show!

 (Set Designer) Rob is normally found performing on stage but has somehow convinced everyone he knows how to design and build sets. Here’s hoping we wrap up the final show of the season with minimal set piece malfunctions! Good luck to everyone in the front row.
