Scott Glen Bio coming

Brad Boesen Brad was raised in Kenesaw and now lives in Lincoln where he earned a degree in advertising from the University of Nebraska because "it was the sensible thing to do". Finally he got into acting, and after a few years of that, suddenly realized that he could combine that with his love of writing and began to write plays. He has finished writing his fourth play, scheduled to be performed at Mahoney State Park. His other plays have had performances in Wyoming, Florida, Illinois, England, and Australia, and his monologues have been used successfully by many people all over the world.

Kristine Kapustka Kristine's passion for acting began her junior year of college, while attending Peru State in the early 90s. Since then, she has performed on various stages in the southeast Nebraska area. Perhaps most notably, has been her 'career' with the Mahoney State Park melodramas; comprised of eight consecutive summer and fall seasons to date. She also has a strong love for children's theatre, and has performed in many LCP family theatre productions over the past few years, favorites being Honk!, The Three Little Pigs Out West, and Charlotte's Web. The Odd Couple is her first CCC production.

Eric Ojeda Eric has been seen on Lincoln stages since early 1999 when he played Peter Kingsley in City of Angels at the Lincoln Community Playhouse. This happens to be the show where he first met Patrick and a love affair started. That is, a love for the theater. Eric has appeared in over 25 LCP shows and over 35 shows in the Lincoln area since then. The Odd Couple is his first CCC production. Some of his favorite roles include: Theseus in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Owen Musser in The Foreigner, Sheriff Reynolds in Bat Boy, Andrew Rally in I Hate Hamlet, and Max Halliday in Dial "M" for Murder.

Amy Jirsa Amy Jirsa is finally back in Lincoln after hunting down an acting career in Los Angeles and on her native East Coast. She graduated from the Univerisity of Nebraska at Lincoln, oh, a while ago, and since then has been in productions all over the country. Favorite roles include Poppy in Noises Off!, Anne Page in The Merry Wives of Windsor, Sylvia in Sylvia, Sunny in The Last Night of Ballyhoo, Benita in Unidentified Human Remains and the True Nature of Love, Madge in Picnic, and Thomasina in Arcadia. Pelvic Variations is her first venture with the CCC.

Lettie Van Hemert Lettie Van Hemert has been a regular in the Lincoln arts community for many years. Not only has she performed with the CCC, The Angels Theatre Company, and at the Lincoln Community Playhouse and the Haymarket Theatre, but she was the Producing Director at the Playhouse from 1999 to 2005. Lettie is a member of the Lincoln Arts Council. She lives in Lincoln with her cat Edward, who is a Manx and therefore has no tail, the lack of which he seems not to mind too much.

Kyle T. Lorenz Kyle has become a familiar face in local theatre, especially to patrons of the Lincoln Community Playhouse, where he has performed in Footloose (Ren McCormack), The Odd Couple (Roy), A Chorus Line (Richie), and Annie, Get Your Gun (Frank Butler). He has appeared onstage at the Pinewood Bowl in Cinderella (Palace Guard), West Side Story (Riff), and Grease (Danny Zuko).
