He has acted in and choreographed Village productions of Pinchpenny Phantom of the Opera and You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. He served several seasons on the Village Player Board of Directors. Terry thanks his mom for loving the theatre and thanks his wife, Janet, "for loving me and letting me do theatre".
Annette Blair (Sister Cecilia) Although Annette is newcomer to the Village, she certainly is no newcomer to the stage, having acted in numerous productions dating back to 1973. Some of her recent roles include Helga Tendorp in
Deathtrap, Raynelle in Dearly Departed, and Gwendolyn Pigeon in The Odd Couple
- all at the Waterville Playshop - as well as Yenta, the Matchmaker in Fiddler on the Roof
for the Grand Rapids Historical Society. Annette is the Supervisor of the Histocompatibility Laboratory at M.C.O. Her hobbies include tennis, quilting and spoiling her two beautiful grandchildren, Ashley (9) and Morgan (2). And, just for good measure, she also performs in Waterville Playshop's "Jukebox Saturday Night", a touring troupe who perform numbers from the 30's and 40's.

John Henry (Ron Wild) John is another veteran of the Village stage, most recently appearing last season as Col. Melkett in
Black Comedy. Past productions include
Marvin's Room, That Championship Season, On Golden Pond, and

A Christmas Carol. Jean is a teacher and Chair of the Learning Disabilities Department at Maumee High School. Jean would especially like to thank her husband, Norb, for his support and encouragement
Ronald Rothenbuhler (Construction Worker) This is Ron's first time at the Village Players either on or off the stage. A man of few words, all we could "squeeze" out of Ron is that he acquired a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Toledo and that he would like to acknowledge the love & support of his mother.
Joanne Toth (Helen Wild) Joanne has been a member of the Village since they moved into this building umpteen years ago (and has not seen the light of day since!) Although she loves acting she is really a "techie" at heart, especially stage managing because "it gives me a legitimate reason for telling people where to go". She has also been the editor of the Village newsletter
"The Greaseprint" and in charge of the opening night champagne receptions.
Tim Villarreal (Rex Bulby) Tim is another newcomer to the Village stage. A man of many talents, Tim not only acts but is a poet and author of
