PETER BOHLMAN (Cheese) got his start in the NYC Fire Department Theatre group "The Smoked Hams." He is a veteran of 12+ years and 26+ plays in Queens, Long Island and in Florida.  This is Pete's second appearance with  The Colonial Players.  in 1994 he played William H. Gallegher in Light Up the Sky.  Pete wishes to thank his lovely, witty, wonderful wife for her patience and understanding and most of all, encouragement in helping him follow his whim.

CAROLINE BONACCI (Cutiepie) has been a member of The Colonial Players since 1992 but strictly "behind the scenes" (lights, sound, crew & reservations).  This marks her first venture 'out front' with actual 'lines'!  Caroline would like to thank everyone for the opportunity to see what it's like on the 'other side' of the house.

LIN CIRELLI (Nadine) made her debut performance with The Colonial Players as Veta Louise Simmons in Harvey.  Spending several summers at Harwich Jr. Theatre in Harwich, Mass., Lin has been everything from apprentice to stage manager to lead player and has done a host of shows for Ryan Repertory and the Music Theatre Workshop, where she performed as Luisa in The Fantasticks, Evie/Anya/Ilsa/Ginny in Stop The World, I Want To Get Off, Annie in Annie Get Your Gun, Lucy in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, and both women's roles in Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris.  Lin hails from Abington, Massachusetts, and is a graduate of the University of Lowell in Lowell, Mass., and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC.  Lin presently resides in Kew Gardens, New York, and says that two great ladies have inspired her:  Judy Garland and her mom.

ALAIN LAFOREST (Horndog), having been convicted of several counts of public foolishness, avoided jail by agreeing to do community theatre.  He has served time with The Village Players in productions of Ten Little Indians, Perfect Timing, Scenes of the Seasons and Dickens of a Nightmare.  He also did time in Township Theatre Group's production of Rumors.  During his work release program he worked as an extra in the short film Odorless.  He remains unrepentant.

JOEL SILVERMAN (Phyllis) is pleased to be on stage again performing with The Colonial Players.  Since his Tony-Award caliber portrait of Klansman #3 (or was it #3) in The Foreigner, his career as a professional actor, waiting tables in various diners across the great county of Queens, was ignited.  Mr. Silverman is grateful to the review board at Creedmoor for their permission to let him appear in the role that the little voice in his head told him he was destined to play.  'Hi Jarred!'

JASON ZWICK (Plato) marks his debut performance with the Colonial Players in Nobody Knows I'm a Dog.  Jason's friend, Chris Wolf, introduced him to community theatre.  Chris does lighting for many productions.  Jason lives in the neighborhood and plays football for his school team when Chris told him that auditions were being held for the part of Plato, a teenager, Jason says:  "I came a-runnin'!  I've come to see many of the productions here at the church, it's pretty cool and a lot of fun to be in one."

STARR (Director) is a multi-media artist that is equally comfortable and competent on either side of the stage.  She has enjoyed working, for many years, in many capacities, with The Colonial Players.  Presently STARR plays Ethel Mertz and Ralph's Mother-In-Law in the interactive dinner theatre (parody) productions of We Love Lucy and Ralph's 40th Surprise Party.  Her stage performances include Betty Meeks in The Foreigner, Edna in Prisoner of Second Avenue, Celia in Hatful of Rain, Mrs. Catherick in Egad, The Woman in White, Sandy in Earth, Wind & Fire and other assorted "character" parts and a few "obscure" TV commercials.  STARR just closed in a Manhattan produced show, Exit to Miami.  Her film credits include the role of "Ma" in Dungeon Dogs, and "The Hooker" in the film The Neighborhood!  STARR's paintings, collages and glass, wire, wood and stone sculptures are exhibited throughout the United States.  Examples of her sandblasted and carved glass art works can be viewed in the Bankers & Brokers Restaurant in Battery Park City as well as the front doors of the Russian Tea Room.  STARR's graphics for the movie A Letter From Trinidad, shown on WTTW in Chicago, have been archived in the Museum of Natural History in New York.  She has written and illustrated two children's books and WDLA radio has been heard playing cuts from her country-western album Married Man's Poker, for which she wrote the music & lyrics and sang lead vocals.  STARR would like to hanks her family and friends, The Colonial Players and the entire cast if Nobody Knows I'm a Dog for the support, commitment, courage and fun they have brought to this project.  You are all fabulous!!  Thank you!
