The Cast

D. Nicholas Hansen (Rudy) - Derek has been involved in Toledo theatre for several years. Here at The Village, he last appeared in Wally's Café. He has also been seen in Lu Ann Hampton Laverty Oberlander, Pvt. Wars, Greetings, as well as Murder By Misadventure at the Toledo Rep and Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Valentine. Derek has also directed numerous shows around the Toledo area, most recently Mrs. Bob Cratchit's Wild Christmas Binge for Harvest Theatre. His numerous accomplishments include receiving three Acting awards from the Ohio Community Theater Association, assistant directing the independent film In the Company of Strangers , and receiving a BA in Theatre from The University of Toledo. Derek is currently a member of the Around the Bend Players, Toledo's only improv comedy troupe, where they perform weekly at Connextions Comedy Club. Derek would like to thank his new bride of three and a half months, Laura, for not having anything in common with Norah.

Laura Hansen (Norah) - Laura's last time on stage was as Bettina Barnes in Psycho Beach Party in 2004. Other roles where Laura has appeared were Candy Starr in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, as Jane in Children, and as Helen and many others in Not Waving. More often though, you'll see Laura scurrying around the theatre as stage manager; it makes her feel like a conductor. Other off stage roles include: production graphics, producer, scenic artist, and sound and light tech. She is a past VP of PR for the theatre and former board member. Laura would like to thank the Village Players and her buddy, Jake, for giving her her favorite pastime (theatre), many great friends, and best of all, her husband of four months, Derek. "Derek, you're neat!" Amazing what a little volunteering can bring. When not at the theatre she is a Senior Systems Analyst for Honeywell International.
