~~MEET THE CAST OF THE GRRT'S "LOVE, LIES & THE LOTTERY"~~

Alyx Schlafge (The Plumber)
******************************
One of the newer members of our GRRT family, Alyx plays the plumber – a burley, well-meaning, skilled working man.

***Alyx’s story: This is my second year with the Great River Road Theatre. I was a late addition to the cast and haven’t even seen the show in its entirety yet. If we deliver half the laughs I see in practice, the audience is sure to love it! The chemistry of the actors and the hilarity of the script are sure to keep people entertained. Krista (aka Rachel Svensen) and I just had our 2nd child in 2025 - I was happy to have been offered a minor role that allowed me to at least participate while still having to juggle everyday life. I hope everyone enjoys the show!

Performances run from Jan 30th-Feb 8th at The Old Ptacek's Event Center in Prescott, WI.

~~MEET THE CAST OF THE GRRT'S "LOVE, LIES & THE LOTTERY"~~

Lori Arndt (Beatrice Svensen)
********************************
Another seasoned veteran of the GRRT’s winter productions, Lori portrays Beatrice Svensen, Peter’s devoted mother. Beatrice came to the U.S. from Norway when she was a teenager, and she is still very Scandinavian. Though Beatrice would fit in at any midwestern sewing circle, church function or bake sale, she has a bit of a racy side.
***Lori tells us: I've been involved in Community Theater for 33 years and this production makes my 20th time on stage. One of my favorite past roles was Martha Brewster in Arsenic and Old Lace, but what I love most about theater is the camaraderie of my cast mates and the joy of making people laugh. When I am not onstage, I enjoy painting, tending to my flower gardens and spending time with my family - often while casually quoting lines from past shows. Thank you to our audience for your continued support of community theater; I hope this performance brings you plenty of laughs.

Performances run from Jan 30th-Feb 8th at The Old Ptacek's Event Center in Prescott, WI.

~~MEET THE CAST OF THE GRRT'S "LOVE, LIES & THE LOTTERY"~~

Krista Christiansen (as Rachel Svensen)
*****************************************
Krista plays Peter’s soon-to-be ex-wife, Rachel. Though she can come across as “sweet”, Rachel is a self-protective narcissist and possible felon who has been having affairs for years. She married Peter because she thought he was wealthy and stayed with him to hide from some legal trouble she got into in upstate New York. Unbeknownst to Peter, she has been married a few times before.

***Krista says: Hello everyone and welcome to the show! My name is Krista, but you can call me Rachel if you’d like! ;-) I have been with the Great River Road Theatre since 2003. It has been a joy and a wonderful experience growing up within this amazing theatre family! Prescott has always been – and still is – home for me. I live here with my fiancé, Alyx (aka the Plumber), and our two kids, Rylee (3) and Henry (8 months). I am so glad you have joined us today and I hope you enjoy the show!

Performances run from Jan 30th-Feb 8th at The Old Ptacek's Event Center in Prescott, WI.
