KARA LARONE (Nadine - 9/23-24/99 Performances) is currently working on her Honours B.A. in English Literature at Laurentian University in Sudbury. She has been acting on stage since age 11, doing community and professional theatre in Sudbury. Her impressive list of productions include The Wizard Of Oz, Cabaret, and Grease, university productions of Tornado, The Summoning of Everyman, and A Midsummer Night's Dream as Titania, workshop productions of Marat/Sade, The Duchess Of Malfi, A Miss In Her Teens, and Off The 401 as Valerie, as well as Fringe Festival Productions of Hamletmachine (Ophelia), and There Is No This in which she starred, co-wrote, and produced. Kara regularly takes acting classes and workshops and also performs as a singer for functions and cabarets. With one commercial under her belt, she may or may not pursue a professional acting career. However, it is, and will be, a special part of her life.

MICHAEL BENNETT LEROUX (Plato) graduated from Cambrian College four years ago, and is currently employed as an Optical Lab Technician. Nobody Knows I'm A Dog is Michael's third stage production. He has also been seen in Theatre Cambrian's production of Grease and the Thorneloe Summer Production of Twelfth Night. He also played the "boyfriend from hell" in a recent commercial for College Boreal (a French college in Sudbury). Michael hopes to pursue his theatre career in the future.

DAN LESSARD (Cheese) is making his Thorneloe Theatre debut. Most recently, Dan played Serge in the Espanola Little Theatre production of Bonjour La, Bonjour. It earned him a nomination for Best Actor in the 1999 Quonta Northern Ontario Drama Festival. Dan's other credits include the E.L.T. productions of The Voice of the Prairie, for which he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, and Woman Without A Name, for which he was named Most Promising Actor at the 1997 Quonta Festival. Dan also played the role of Martini in Theatre Cambrian's One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, and John Smith in the 1997 Sudbury Theatre Centre summer production of Run For Your Wife. Dan can also be heard as the host of "Points North" weekdays from 4-6pm on CBC Radio in Sudbury.

TRACY LESSARD (Nadine - 9/25/99 Performance) is a graduate of the Thorneloe Theatre Arts program. Her theatre career began in 1997 with a role in the Espanola Little Theatre production of A Woman Without A Name, a production that won regional, provincial and international awards. The following year she played a "dumb blond" in Voice of the Prairie, also at E.L.T (she insists this was not type casting). At Thorneloe, she has been seen in A Midsummer Night's Dream (Helena), The Glass Menagerie (Amanda Wingfield), and Twelfth Night (Olivia), as well as workshop productions of Our Country's Good, The Witch, and A Will and No Will. Tracy enjoys working in theatre and hopes to expand to TV and film, having already done a commercial for Cinefest 1998 (Sudbury's annual film festival). (P.S. - A couple of days after handing me her bio, Tracy was offered a cameo appearance in the upcoming movie X-Men. Always have hope!)

TARA LEVESQUE (Cutiepie) recently graduated from Laurentian University with an Honours B.A. in English Drama and a minor in Theatre Arts. Her recent roles include Viola in Twelfth Night, Laura Wingfield in The Glass Menagerie, Isabella in The Witch, and Mary Brenham in Our Country's Good. As well as being on stage, Tara has tried her hand Backstage working as Assistant Stage Manager for Thorneloe's The Tempest and A.S.M./Stage Construction Crew for Theatre Cambrian productions of The Sound of Music and Grease. Tara hopes to continue with theatre in the future, but for now is pursuing a graduate program that will take her from Sudbury to Toronto.

KEVIN SCHAFER (Phyllis / Director) has been a natural performer for most of his life without even realizing it. Throughout high school, his English teachers would teach the drama component by having students act out the plays they were studying. Kevin's uninterested classmates would always elect him to portray the main roles. As a result, he got to play Julius Caesar, Macbeth, and Hamlet before he ever considered a career in theatre. After completing a degree in Psychology at Laurentian University, he decided, purely on a whim, that theatre might be the life for him and began pursuing a second degree in Theatre Arts. While at Laurentian, Kevin has become known for taking his small roles in productions such as A Midsummer Night's Dream (Tom Snout), The Witch (Gaspero), Our Country's Good (Capt. Jemmy Campbell), and A Will and No Will (Harry Belair), and turning them into dynamic performances that audiences love. Kevin is a little bit conceited. But enough about him, let's talk about you!

JASON THERRIEN (Horndog) is a recent graduate of Laurentian University's Theatre Arts program. Nobody Knows I'm A Dog is his seventh play in the past year. His most recent roles include Danny Zuko in Grease, Sebastian in Twelfth Night, and Tom Wingfield in The Glass Menagerie. Jason hopes to make the jump from amateur to professional acting very soon.
