John Henry (Director) - John is currently serving as a member of the Board of Trustees for The Village Players. His last involvement in a Village production was working back stage in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and he was last seen on stage as Senator Carlin in The Best Man.
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.
