Cindy Binnicker (Delivery Man/Stage Manager) is delighted to be a part of this show and cast. As a member of the Board of Chapin Theatre Company, Cindy does most of the stage managing. In her down time...ha! There’s very little of that but she enjoys being involved with an evolving theater that thrives off entertaining audiences. She is forever humbled to be a part of this amazing team and her new “family.”

Brick Brickel (Mrs. Ethel Banks) having moved from St.Petersburg, Florida in January ‘24, is making her debut with Chapin Theatre Company. She has performed stand-up comedy and improv in NYC & LA, had her one-woman-show, “Brick...off the wall”; is a playwright and director. Favorite roles include: Doris in The Owl and the Pussycat, Sister Robert Anne in Nunsense, Vernadette in The Dixie Swim Club and Rose in Gypsy. Thank you to Frank for casting me in such a great part! And, of course. ‘Lil Loook.

Jim DeFelice (Victor Velasco) is the Executive Director of the Chapin Theatre Company. His last role was Clarence the Angel (and others) in the Radio Show version of It’s a Wonderful Life performed in Kershaw Arts Center, Workshop, and Chapin Theatre. Previously he played Harry Douglas in The Amorous Ambassador—a farce by Michael Parker. Jim loves farce and had the time of his life playing the butler Wadsworth in Clue. Jim spends most of his day managing the Theatre and had a lot of fun getting this new space ready. He’s so proud to be a part of this theatre community with all the support and talent that has become a part of the next chapter of the Chapin Theatre Company. Jim is excited to be on stage with the talented Zanna, Josh, Brick and Manny under the guidance of Mr Theatre (with an “re”) Frank Thompson. He sends his love to Tina, his kids and those “5 beautiful & spirited granddaughters.” P.S. – “Do what Cindy says.”

Josh Kern (Paul Bratter) is grateful for the opportunity to bring this character to life. Josh has taken on such roles as Stephon in Stilt Girl, Sammy in The Wedding Singer, Audrey II in Little Shop of Horrors, and ensemble of Beauty and the Beast. By day Josh is a massage therapist at Just What You Kneaded Mobile Massage Therapy and Lotus Day Spa.

Zanna Mills (Corie Bratter) is excited to be on the Chapin stage again. You may have seen her with CTC as June/Merry Murderess (Chicago), Joy (Cinderella) or Izzy (Stilt Girl). Other favorite roles include Lucy (Bright Star), Annie (The Play That Goes Wrong), Mary Ann (Gilligan’s Island: The Musical), Amber Von Tussle (Hairspray), Rumpleteazer (Cats) and Shelby (Steel Magnolias). Follow along with Zanna’s theatre adventures on Instagram @Zanna.M

Manny Moitoso (Telephone Man) would like to thank you, the audience, for coming out to support our little theatre. Because without you, there would be no us. An eARTh without ART is just eh.

Frank Thompson (Director) is not only a director, but a performer as well. He was recently seen as Billy Flynn in Chicago here at Chapin Theatre, as Mortimer Brewster in Arsenic and Old Lace at Workshop Theatre, and as Freddie Fillmore in It’s a Wonderful Life on tour and in-house at CTC. Frank is privileged to serve on CTC’s Board of Directors, and looks forward to his next project. His other credits include Freddie/Philip in Noises Off, Dr. Watson in The Hound of the Baskervilles, and Lumiere in Beauty and the Beast. Much love to this amazing cast and production team. Thank you for making this show magical.
