Cast

LUKE BOUGHNER as Joey

LUKE BOUGHNER wrote this bio a bit behind schedule from his girlfriend's mom's couch (long story). It had been due for over a week. . . he thinks? He's wondering if anyone can tell him what year it is -- he doesn't know how he ended up here. This is his second play. It’s been a couple of years since his first play (Pry It From My Cold Dead Hands). Here are some fun facts about Luke: 1 - Every second he gets older; 2 - He literally cannot even go an hour without breathing (he's somewhat of an oxygen junky); and 3 - He is not related to Genghis Khan in any way! He would like audiences to please enjoy the show and excuse his language on stage as his character is a real bonehead.

Ezra Poku-Chrisitan as Zack

EZRA POKU-CHRISTIAN has been on stage a couple of times (Korda Artistic Productions’ Macbeth and Fear from SHO Studio’s In The Face of it - Dramatic Sketches), backstage a couple of times (Post Productions’ Nothing But the Truth and Pry It From My Cold Dead Hands), and working front of house more times than that. Ezra wanted to write a funny bio too but gave up because they're only funny by accident. Instead, they would like one day to write a play that would hurt people’s feelings-- like when Post Productions did Equus-- but with a little less horse and a little less penis, maybe. Until then, please enjoy this local play about local people by a local guy. Ezra is very excited about it. Probably also terrified if they’re about to go onstage right now, but don’t worry. It will all be over soon.

Rebecca S. Mickle as Selena

REBECCA S. MICKLE has never been in trouble. Ever. Even when she was little she wouldn’t jump a fence even though all her friends did. So, it’s a wonder she’s able to portray the character of Selena. Mickle is from a small town where nothing ever happens, thus, she spends a lot of time doing different things. She has a Master of Music in Operatic Vocal Performance, she’s a music teacher, performer, writer, horror TikToker, artistic director, and cat mom. She is excited to be performing her eighth play with Post Productions. When she isn’t doing something creative you can find her picking up cool rocks and working her three non-artistic jobs.

Camryn Kingsley as Kaitlyn

The whereabouts of CAMRYN S. KINGSLEY are unknown - although, they have never really been known. She was last seen whispering messages to a flock of lovebirds and painting white spots on butterflies' wings. Do not attempt to make conversation, past encounters report that she squeaks incoherently and disappears into the nearest thicket. She might appear in Stuck at the Shadowbox Theatre if you lure her with a trail of sunflower seeds.

JOEY OUELLETTE was in trouble pretty much as soon as he was born. He’s appeared before judges more times than he can count and it’s rumoured that he shot someone. He’s currently serving a life sentence at the Shadowbox Theatre. See him next as Roggo the Torturer in the Purple Theatre Company’s production of The Rinsing Witch by Edele Winning, starting October 21 right here at the Shadowbox.

COMPOSERS

Adrian Deschamps

ADRIAN DESCHAMPS is thrilled to be writing the music for Post Production's Stuck written by Jonathan Tessier. Adrian has been a musician since the age of 13, however this is the first time he has composed music for live theatre. Musical influences include Joe Hisaishi, Hans Zimmer, Nobuo Uematso, and Hiroyuki Sawano. Shoutout to Jonathan Tessier for writing this masterpiece of a play; Michael K. Potter and Fay Lynn for bringing this script to life on the stage, for our community to experience; Luke, Rebecca, Camryn, Ezra and Joey for capturing every quirk, expression and emotion of these characters so beautifully; and Shane Trowbridge, for your fancy hair and being my musical partner in crime.

Shane Trowbridge

SHANE TROWBRIDGE is a composer, director, writer, professional introvert and competitive beard grower. He has been writing and playing music since the young age of 9 years old. Since then, he has played in numerous bands in multiple different music genres throughout his youth. He has ranged in playing everything from funk to progressive metal, pop to punk, and ska to math-rock. In 2015, he decided to take his love for music to Atlanta, Georgia, USA, to study music at the Atlanta Institute of Music and Media. There, he walked in as a bassist and walked out as a composer. His influences include Johann Johannsson, Joe Hisaishi, Mike Patton, John Coltrane, Koji Kondo and Casey Crescenzo. He is excited to be part of this amazingly written and brilliantly directed play and bring his composer chops to the table. In his spare time (if he has any), he likes to indulge himself in playing The Legend of Zelda, eating spinach dip, taking accidental naps, and giving affection to his loving fish “Ganon”. He’d like to thank Michael K. Potter and Fay Lynn for allowing him to make some noise for this excellent play, shoutout to Jonathan Tessier for the killer writing chops, and Adrian Deschamps for being his musical soulmate.
