Larry Farley (Director) For over 30 years The Village Players has been Larry’s theatrical home (with occasional forays to other stages where they promptly sent him back here). His list of shows as actor and director would fill a book, much like his rap sheet at the local police station. His last turn on The Village stage was as ol’ Henry in last season’s Fantasticks. Larry has had a soft spot in his heart for directing murder mysteries ever since the first show he directed at The Village, Dial M for Murder in 1980. Do any of you remember it? If so, it is probably past Larry’s and your bedtime. Enjoy the show. |

Debbie Marinik (Assistant Director) has been loitering at The Village since, well, it’s been a long time. Debbie can be seen both on and off the stage, though the headset she is required to wear off stage admittedly musses her hair. Favorite roles on stage include Sylvia, where she played Don Weber’s dog, and It Had to Be You, where she sparred nightly with Larry Farley. Debbie is happy to be working again with these wacky gentlemen, as well as the rest of the talented cast and crew. Enjoy the show! |

John Jennens (Henry) has appeared at The Village as Mitch Albom in Tuesdays With Morrie. Other shows include The Last Meeting of the Knights of the White Magnolia, Luanne Hampton Laverty Oberlander, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, Gun Shy and Pvt. Wars, sharing the stage wth his lovely wife, Suzanne, in several productions. In real life, John has made appearances in film, radio and tv commercials. Cheers! |

Suzanne Jennens (Karen) has been seen on The Village Players’ stage in her favorite role of all time as May in Sam Shepard’s Fool For Love, as the countess in A Little Night Music, and as Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest. Suzanne has performed at The Toledo Repertoire Theatre, The Ritz Theatre in Tiffin, The Croswell Theatre in Adrian, The University of Toledo, and Ms. Rose’s Dinner Theatre. She is presently a teacher of Spanish at Whitmer High School. She is a former drama teacher. Suzanne is thrilled to play her real life husband’s wife as part of this delightful thriller. |

Don Weber (Dr. Stan Spencer) is no stranger to local theatregoers. He is an award-winning actor, having performed with theatre companies in the area for over 40 years including The Village Players, The Croswell Opera House, The Toledo Rep, Toledo Opera and the former Westgate Dinner Theatre. He lists his favorite roles as Pseudolus in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Oscar in The Odd Couple, and Al Lewis (opposite Jim Rudes) in The Sunshine Boys. Don is pleased to once again play opposite Lynnie as his stage-wife, having done the same for Never Too Late back in 2007. Don retired in 2007 from WNWO-TV, NBC 24 after more than 35 years in television production. As always, Don thanks his wonderful wife Kathie & daughter Ellison for tolerating and supporting his theatrical pursuits. |

Lynnie Heinemann (Suzy) After three years, Lynnie is
back on stage at The Village. “It’s so nice to be doing a show again. I
love the art of acting. It’s a diversion from everyday life and can be
quite therapeutic.” Lynnie’s last show at The Village was Never Too Late when she played the wife of talented actor Don Weber. Other shows include Wally’s Café, Deathtrap, Arsenic and Old Lace, Social Security, and The Female Odd Couple. |

Clara Engle (Miss Havenhurst) is thrilled to once again to be sharing the stage with her father in “Flemming.” She’s been a local theatre actress and enthusiast for years, and has appeared in shows with The Village Players, The Rep, Owens Community College and The Waterville Playshop. When not on stage she is working as a copywriter for business voice and freelancer for local publications, hanging out with her friends, family or at the gym. A special thanks to Shelly, my study buddy. |
