Cast (In Order Of Appearance)

                            Who’s Who

ALISSA RUPP (Ronnie) Loved working on a new show with such a goofy (and talented) cast and production staff. Alissa has worked back­stage for several ETC productions, including; set designer for “Cabaret” and “Sweeney Todd”. However, she is always happy to spend her time singing, and dedicates her performance to Jane Rose.

RACHAEL McCLINTON (Roseanna) Rachael is making her first appearance with ETC. Recently, she moved to Seattle from Denver where she played the role of Rose in “A Shayna Maidel” which won 1991’s best play from the Denver Critics Circle awards. In New Jersey, Rachael portrayed Sara in “Guys and Dolls”. She is happy to again be singing the beautiful music of Frank Loesser.

SPENCER FAIRBANKS (Joe) Ahoy there! Spencer has once again joined the talented ensemble at ETC. This is his fourth show following “Once Upon A Mattress”, “Cabaret”, and a successful run as Tobias in “Sweeney Todd”. His training includes work at Shoreline and Cornish colleges. He is a recent member of Seattle Men’s Chorus and is preparing for his next role in Andrew Lloyd Weber’s “Sunset Boulevard”.

GREG BACON (Jake) Greg was most recently seen in ETC’s production of “Sweeney Todd”. It was his first production where he was able to play a death scene twice, and after seeing the performance it became clear that Greg is actually a giant body puppet run by a team of eight squirrels... “I’m excited to have been able to participate in the creation of  an original production using Mr. Loesser’s music, besides, the squirrels need the work.”

KRIS B. (“KRISPY”) ANDERSON (Vaughn DeCarlo) Kris’ last theatrical venture was directing and co-producing Sondheim’s “Marry A Little” through Low Key Productions. His directing credits include “Beyond Therapy”, “Kennedy’s Children”, “International Stud” and “Betrayal”. His is a proud member of the Seattle Men’s Chorus, Emerald City Volunteers, and Puddletown Dancers. He’s thrilled to be singing Frank Loesser’s music, and perplexed to be writing about himself in the I third person.

MICHAEL TATLOCK (Director) This is Michael’s first stint as a director at ETC, although he should be remembered for previous appearances here as the murderer Cliff in “Deathtrap”, the nasty Nazi Ernst in “Cabaret” and the Jester in “Once Upon A Mattress”. Mike’s directing credits include “Extremities”, “A Little Night Music” and “Three Men Naked From the Waist Down”, As co-founder and Artistic Director of Theatre X, “More Loesser”s associate producer, Mike is looking forward to producing and directing further innovative productions.

D.J. GOMMELS (Musical Director/Pianist) D.J. has acted as musical director/pianist/arranger/Conductor at regional, stock, and dinner theatre’s across the country for the past twelve years. In addition, he coaches/ accompanies privately in the Seattle area for actor/singers. D.J. also serves as dance accompanist at the Cornish College for the Arts. The Loesser revue marks his third production with ETC, having musical directed “Something’s Afoot”, and most recently “Sweeney Todd”. Upcoming projects include conducting Gilbert & Sullivan’s “Patience, “Mephistopheles” with Washington (D.C.) Opera, and the premiere this summer of his operatic spoof “Mammy Butterfly”. “Hats off, here they come...” Undying gratitude to my Thelma Lou!

ELIZABETH CANDLER (Stage Manager) Elizabeth is a graduate of Vasser College. She enjoys her stage managing career and has found that she is pretty darn good at organizing multitudes of actors at once (even those who demand private dressing rooms and fresh fruit before every performance). Elizabeth attributes this organizational skill to her astrological sign. Elizabeth is a Gemini.

PAUL MULLIN (Playwright) Paul has relished the new experience of developing the Book for a musical. His other scriptwriting efforts include stage plays and a screen play based on his work “Hitting The Ground”. Mullin’s most recent play “Ellison and Eden” premiered at the Conservatory Theatre in New York City in 1990 under the auspices of the Voice in the Wall Ensemble, a company he helped to found. He looks forward to the play’s West Coast production and is currently exploring the possibilities with several local theatres. Paul has appeared as a professional actor in Baltimore, Washington D.C. and New York, and aims for a similar Seattle Experience.

Executive Directors Notes: Thank you for joining us tonight for “More Loesser” a new musical revue celebrating the work of Broadway’s Frank Loesser. “More Loesser” marks a new kind of project for ETC. As producer, in association with Seattle’s own Theatre X, the two companies have created a new play. Not only is “More Loesser” an enjoyable work in it’s own right, but it adds to the body of work of one of the entertain­ment industries greats, Frank Loesser. This is something that both ETC and Theatre X are very proud of.

Our association with Theatre X in this project has been an enjoyable and fruitful one. As you will see in tonight's show, a lot of love and sweat went into making this a first class production. Special thanks, and congratulations, go to Michael Tatlock and the dedicated cast and crew of “More Loesser” for bringing ETC., Seattle, and now Elma, WA a fun and entertaining production.  COME ENJOY THE SHOW!!!
