🔦Here is our final Actor SPOTLIGHT! 🔦
If you saw the show, you'd recognize these two faces. Mortimer and Elaine become engaged in Act 1, but do they stay engaged by the end of Act III? Hopefully, you found out!
Christina Rogers (Elaine Harper) is a born and raised Oswego native. Her theatre credits include Oswego Players productions of “Check Please!” a dinner theatre production held at LaParilla. Night Must Fall, where she played Nurse Libby. Game of the Week, a one act play that was a 2023 winner of the Don McCann playwriting contest, also her first ever lead role where she played Kat. Lastly she was an ancestor in The Borderline Players production of “The Addams Family” musical when she lived in Vermont. This was her second lead role, and first in a full-length production.
Christina's Elaine brings wonderful, bright, sparkling energy to the stage, is a wonderful foil for Mortimer, and has great s***k whilst keeping her eye on the prize.
Will Bandla (Mortimer Brewster) has had a long-term involvement of acting and tech with Oswego Players spanning over a decade. He received his Bachelor’s Degree in Theatre from SUNY Fredonia. Having returned to local theatre, he was most recently in “Death Trap” as Clifford Anderson. Mortimer Brewster is a theatre critic with many criticisms of not just the theatre, but also the human race.
Will's Mortimer may be a straight-and-narrow kind of guy, but his facial expressions, frequent visible panic about his family, and reaction to anything and everything were incredibly entertaining on the stage! His timing was incredible.
Happy final show everyone!
