Meet the cast of When We Were Young and Unafraid.

Miriam Walton (Penny) is excited to be joining Barley Sheaf for the first time in this show! Though she can usually be found on stage, if you are looking elsewhere you can also find her in the scene shop of various theaters constructing sets, working as an actor in a variety of different medical training programs, or composing music on the piano she rescued when the props department no longer had any use for it. Some recent roles include Christopher in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, Julia in The Birds, and Nico in a workshop production of Morphology. She is so grateful to get to work with such a wonderful and talented cast and crew to bring this piece to life! You can find more of her work on Instagram .c.walton.

Meet the cast of When We Were Young and Unafraid.

Deb Topka (Agnes) is very proud to be a part of the WWWYAU team! This is her 11th Barley Sheaf production as an actor. You may have seen her in musicals and comedies like The Addams Family, The Drowsy Chaperone, Titanic: The Musical, California Suite, I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, and Grey Gardens. She is thrilled to be sinking her teeth into this dramatic role given her last was as Vivian in Lucy 10 years ago….time flies! Deb has more recently been putting her efforts into directing including The 39 Steps at Barley Sheaf earlier this season. Deb thanks her husband Zak for his love, encouragement, and support in all things, and sends love to her three amazing daughters, Jessica, Samantha, and Nicole. THANK YOU for supporting a show that tackles difficult and emotional topics. Theatre is not just about entertaining, it’s also about sparking those important conversations that help us remember our humanity and compassion, provide insight into experiences we may not have had, and help us remember the lessons of the past so we can collectively make positive changes moving forward.
