As always, he dedicates his performance to his mother, who taught him to be silly and never take anything too seriously. Thanks, Mom!

Lisa Bodry, Stage Manager
This starts Lisa's 6th year with BCT. She is still blown away by the fact that she gets to live out her dream of working behind the scenes in the theatre.
