You've met our cast - now meet part of our production team: Zachary Zahand (Director), Josh Glasscock (Music Director), and Dawn Tuck (Stage Manager).

Zachary is excited to return to his home theatre with the Clarksville Community Players. Zachary currently works as the Theatre teacher at the local middle and high school.

Opening night is tomorrow and we hope you have your tickets!!!
Our final Meet the Cast post features three actors who play our Jesus, Judas, and John the Baptist.

Elijah Logue (Jesus) is thrilled to be on the Clarksville stage for the fifth time! Interestingly, this will be the third time he has performed this role (2017 and 2023). He has been in countless community and professional theatre productions for the last 10 years. Most notable musical credits include: Donkey (Shrek: The Musical), Tunny (American Idiot), Horton (Seussical The Musical), Perchik (Fiddler on the Roof), and Orin (Little Shop of Horrors). Elijah is an actor by night, Corrections Lieutenant by day and a Director on occasion. He recently directed a sold out run of the modern musical Alice by Heart at Waterworks Players.

Jason B. Badeaux (Judas) has been jumping stages with his amazing and talented contemporaries in shows such as Little Shop of Horrors, Jack and Jill: a Troll’s Story, and Alice by Heart. Jason used what he learned from these shows in his performance as Harold Hill (The Music Man). With that being said, special shoutouts to the people who were a part of those shows and to GODSPELL's amazing production team!

Declan Kelly (John the Baptist) is very excited to be in his fourth show directed by Zachary Nathaniel and his second show at the Fine Arts Center! He spends most of his time talking to his friends, playing drums, or listening to music – sometimes all at once. Some previous roles of his include Charlie Brown (You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown), Cedric (Puffs), and Lord Leonard Aster (Peter and the Starcatcher). Something he has not done is a backflip. Please do not ask him to do a backflip. It would not end well.

Opening night of GODSPELL is just two days away, but we still have some more cast members to introduce to you - Sarah Varela, Sarah Wheeler, and Ellie Wiles.

Sarah V. is excited to be taking part in her first show at CCP under the direction of her amazing former student, Zachary Zahand. This is her second time performing in Godspell. Some favorite previous roles include Maggie (Cat on a Hot Tin Roof), Rachael (Appropriate), Mindy (Five Women Wearing the Same Dress), and Sarah/Sadie Mae (Adrift in New York), all with Waterworks Players in Farmville. She made her directorial debut last spring with John Logan's Red. At the encouragement of her terrific husband, Erik (her biggest cheerleader), Sarah ventured from her usual spot as a pit musician to finally getting onstage. By day, she's a German professor at Longwood University and enjoys knitting, board games, and serenading her cats.

Sarah W. would like to thank her cast for being so great. She is indebted to Mark Hopper for helping her become the performer that she is and helping her get to where she is today. Sarah is so grateful to this production’s director and music director for showing her the support she needed during this rehearsal process.

He would like to thank Joe Perdue for getting him into theatre and this production’s director and music director for always having his back.
