Autumn is delighted to be performing on the Regent Street stage. Autumn’s most recent acting credentials include Dylan Klebold in 4/20/99: A Story of Columbine in Camden, New Jersey, and as King Claudius in Goth! Hamlet here in Salt Lake. Autumn would like to thank the director Selah for this opportunity, as well as cast member Mitch for coming along on this journey. May we ‘always remember’ our time together.

Mitch Tyler is proud to be taking on one of his most emotionally potent and demanding roles yet as Eric. A WTC mainstay, he most recently directed and starred in 'Dog Sees God', along with performing in 'Before Oz' last December and George Plautz's 'Short Shorts' as part of the 2023 Page to Stage Festival. Some of his other most recent credits include '4-29-99: A Story of Columbine', 'Goth Hamlet' with Lark and Loon Theatre Co., 'Children of War' at The Hive Collaborative with Poet's Star Theatre Co., 'The Bald Soprano' with Threepenny Theatre Co., and 'Much Ado About Nothing' with EMCT.

Kobe has been acting since his friend forced him to in high school, and now he's stuck. He's enjoyed acting in local theater, at The Covey Center in Murder by the Book, and here at the Eccles in Saintmakers last year!

Rebecca Summerstay is a Lighting Design student at BYU. She has worked as a lighting technician at school for four years and has also been expanding into the world of costumes. You may have seen her lighting design in Children of War at The Hive Collaborative, or Great Expectations at BYU; she also designed costumes for Shakpeare's The Tempest over the summer with The Endangered Species Project. She'd like to dedicate to this design to her dear friend, writer and director, Selah Degering. Selah inspired this entire creation, and was the source of motivation and hard work. She hopes you enjoy the show!

Selah DeGering is a practiced theatre maker with experience in acting, directing, designing, producing, and a degree in playwriting from BYU. Recent credits include performing in a cast roulette of A Midsummer Night's Dream, directing a self-produced original script, Children of War, and acting as the title role in Shakespeare's King Lear. Upcoming work for Selah slates a new production with Wasatch Theater Company, an original script called A Dozen Roses: A Modern Gothic, and an unaffiliated workshop of her most recent script, Art is Isaac.

Jim Martin has an MFA in theatre arts from the University of Idaho at Moscow, where he continues to take classes to keep his knowledge and skills fresh. Jim started Wasatch in 1997 and continues as the Executive Director to this day. He has directed numerous shows including King James, The Final Act, and JQA. Jim dedicates this performance to his amazing 88 year-old dad (also named Jim), his son Jayden, his two dogs, and his two cats for all their sacrifices.
