MIKE DENTINO (Opal)  We're thrilled beyond words to have Mike back with us in one of his signature Barn roles!  He first performed the role of Opal Kronkie with us in 1979 and he's funnier now than he's ever been!  Mike has been a fixture at the Barn practically since the opening.  He has most recently appeared reprising the role of Stan, the shell-shocked sound man in Chaps! Last season, he played Abe in Squabbles. We're happy to announce that Mike has agreed to reprise the role of Sister mary Amnesia in Nunsense A-men! for our 2007 season!

BOB LANE, JR. (Sol)  We're always happy to have Bob back on the boards.  Bob is our leading comic and has delighted audiences at the Barn for years.  He most recently brought down the house as Jim in the hilarious Mating Game. Last year, Bob was featured as Robert in Don't Dress for Dinner, as well as the reluctant cross dresser Leslie in Love, Sex and the IRS and as Senator Richard Willey in the hilarious Out of Order.  We also have him lined up in 2006 for Funny Money and Bedside Manners.  Other favorite appearances by Bob include The Foreigner, Perfect Wedding, Caught in the Net, Rumors and Harvey.

MARY SIMON (Director/Gloria)  has been involved with the various Conklin theatres since 1969. She assumed ownership and directing responsibilities in 1995. Over the many seasons Mary mentions Smoke on the Mountain, Cemetery Club, I Do, I Do, Guys & Dolls, Rumors, The Foreigner, Perfect Wedding and Nunsense as personal favorites. She most recently starred as Honey Tooks in The Mating Game and re-mounted our production of the wonderful musical Chaps! and even substituted--as a leading man, no less--for a few performances!  Last season, Mary appeared as Pamela in Out of Order, Vivian in Love, Sex and the IRS, as Mildred in Squabbles and as the ditzy Suzette in Don't Dress For Dinner. Mary is proud and happy to keep our founder's dream alive! "Don't play as if you've swallowed the metronome!"

DAN CHALLACOMBE (Bradford)  Dan is always a welcome addition to any production here at the Barn!  He's been busy this season already, reprising the role of Leslie in Chaps! and appearing as Draycott in The Mating Game.  Last season he was seen reprising his role in Forever Plaid along with an appearance in Squabbles, served as Musical Director for The Taffetas and appeared as the enigmatic Wong Chung in Out of Order.  Dan and his wife (and Chaps! co-star) Tamra are expecting their third daughter soon.

PAT GAIK (The Doctor)  Pat recently celebrated his 10th anniversary at the Barn in the revival of Chaps! He will also be seen later this year in Funny Money, and probably a few other shows as well.  Favorite past roles include Jinx in Forever Plaid, Miles in Chaps!, George in Out of Order, Robert in Don't Dress for Dinner and Sister Hubert in Nunsense A-men! Pat also serves as our Marketing Director. You can visit him online at www.patgaik.com!

JOHN JOHNSON (Officer Joe Janke)  John was most recently seen breaking the audience up (along with his fellow actors sometimes) as Clive in Chaps! Last year he was seen crawling around on his knees in a towel as Ronnie in Out of Order, and also appeared in Anybody for Murder,  Love, Sex & the IRS and he also ran the light board during The Taffetas and Forever Plaid.  John and his wife Julianna live in Peoria with their adorable sons, Christian and Max.

MAMA CAT (Mr. Tanner)  Mama Cat is the granddame of the Barn cats you see in our parking lot and hanging around our rehearsal barn.  She's taken to the stage like a duck to water.  If you see her outside, ask for her pawtograph and we're sure she'll comply. Her requests for us to produce Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats or Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof as vehicles for her have, alas, fallen on deaf ears (we doubt she's even read the latter!).
