Ashley Hail (Una) - has performed a handful of roles among
Cincinnati’s community theatre base, as well as a few roles while in
college. She would like to thank Don for his dedication,
Dave for his direction, Mary for keeping everything on track, and Randy for all of his work on the posters,
the blogspot, and everything else that I am forgetting.
Don Volpenhein (Ray) - Mr.
Volpenhein has appeared locally onstage at The Cincinnati Playhouse in the
Park, Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati, New Edgecliff Theatre, Carnegie Arts
Center, and the Jarson Kaplan Theatre at The Aronoff Center, among others,
portraying such classic American characters as Atticus Finch in To Kill a
Mockingbird, Captain Keller in
The Miracle Worker, Jim Casy in The Grapes of Wrath, Elwood P.
Dowd in Harvey, George Aaronow in Glengarry Glen Ross, and a turn
as Bob Ewell in a second production of To Kill a Mockingbird. Other
favorite roles include Beaudricourt in The Lark, Ivan in Art, and

many varied sporting events. He would like to thank Ashley for the idea, Randy
for all his unheralded hard work, and David for his passion and patience....and
of course my wife for putting up with me.
Creative
David Levy (Director) - Originally from Long Island, Levy has been in-and-around the
Cincinnati theatre scene since his arrival in 1992. You may have seen him
on stage as Jesus at ETC, an Italian opera star for The Drama Workshop, or the
head of a 1940's Brooklyn family at the Covedale (among other places).
You might have heard his sound designs over the years at the Cincinnati
Shakespeare Festival, or while traveling around the world in 80 days at
Cincinnati's Playhouse in the Park (or, among many other places, as part of the
recently produced "Disgruntled Employees" which you hopefully just
saw right here!). Levy's biggest and most recent contribution to the
Cincinnati entertainment scene is as co-founder of True Theatre ("true
stories told by real people"), enjoying its second season of
one-night-only shows about every three months down at the Know Theatre.
Check them out at www.truetheatre.com!)
Regarding this production, Levy couldn't be happier with the team
assembled to pull it off (from the cast, to the producer, to all the other
technical contributors). He has worked with them all before and is
grateful for all their hard work, putting together this challenging show.
It would be impossible for Levy to do all this (and more that there is not room
to print!) without the love and support of his girlfriend, Jennifer, and his
son, Tyson. Kisses all around!
