And Then There Were None

Alton Little Theater
Board of Governors





	Don Harlan (Rogers) Don has been in several productions at A.L.T. He was most recently seen as Lazar Wolf in this summer’s production of “Fiddler on the Roof” Some of Don’s other credits include “The Boys Next Door” and Murray the cop in “The Odd Couple”. He hit the half-century mark during rehearsals for this production so when he takes his curtain call you may need to applaud a little louder so he can hear you.

	Julia Bellitto (Mrs. Rogers) last appeared as one of the Hot Box dancers in “Guys and Dolls”. This is Julia’s second appearance on the ALT Stage.

	Kerry Miller (Fred Narracott) has appeared several times on the ALT stage, most recently as Mordca in the ALT production of “Fiddler on the Roof”. As the Son of the late Helen and Nelson Miller, who were among the founding members, Kerry grew up around the ALT family. He is pleased, once again, to be appearing on stage as a part of this talented cast.

	Julia Lorene Swan (Vera Claythorne) is excited to be in her third ALT show. She most recently appeared as Tzeitel in this summer’s “Fiddler on the Roof”. Julia would like to thank her biggest fans (Jenna, Deda, and the Beanes) for their support, and her “Papa” for this opportunity.

	Grant Thornell (Philip Lombard) Grant has previously appeared on the ALT stage eight times, most recently as Rusty Charlie in “Guys and Dolls”. You may remember him as Junior in “Dearly Departed” and Albert Einstein in “Picasso at the Lapin Agile”. He likes cherry Popsicles but prefers orange.

	Carl Franz (Anthony Marston) enjoys acting in community theater. His appearances at ALT include roles in Pump Boys and Dinettes, Harvey, Picasso at the Lapin Agile and most recently, Fiddler on the Roof. He also appeared in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with the Curtains Up Theater Company.

	Greg Gaddy (William Blore) This is Greg’s third show at ALT and his first as a member. His debut was in 1994 when he played a triple – role in A Few Good Men”. After a ten-year absence, most of which was spent working in radio in southwestern Missouri, he next appeared as Norman McDonald in “Cash on Delivery”. Greg is a recent graduate of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology.

	David Boase (General Mackenzie) came to Alton three years ago to be Rector of the Episcopal Church and loves it here. As an Englishman he has a background in pantomime comedy, with roles in “Cinderella”, “Aladdin”, and “Sleeping Beauty”. He has recently traded in his cricket bat for a golf club and hopes he may be slightly better in this his first role at ALT than he is at golf! David performed in this year’s Vintage Voices as “the historian.” He thanks his friends for giving him this opportunity.

	Paula Bradley (Emily Brent) It’s been a long time! I’m glad to be back at ALT after some thirty years. Ned, my husband, and I were quite active in the wonderful old days with Dorothy Colonius. Being in the (to me) new theater on a real stage instead of having to play everything in the round is wonderful. And it is fun to get to know a whole new group of players carrying on the traditions. (Since there are probably very few members who know me, I’m a retired French professor from Principia College in Elsah, Illinois.)

	Warren Frank (Sir Lawrence Wargrave) Every once in a while, a part comes along that an actor would die for. Apparently, this has happened to ten actors all at once. We don't know why they were all affected but they were. All we know is that Warren would like to thank Ann, his lovely and talented wife, for this "to die for" opportunity.

	Mike Crause (Dr. Armstrong) Mike Crause became an active member of the Alton Little Theater in the fall of 2005 and has participated in six plays since that time. You may remember him from his portrayal of “Speed” in The Odd Couple or the Reverend B.J. Hooker in Dearly Departed. Mike would like to thank the director, Louie Lafikes, for entrusting him with this role of Dr. Armstrong and a “group hug” to the cast who made the journey from rehearsal to production an enjoyable experience. My special thanks to my wife of 28 years, Pat Crause, for her support and encouragement.
