MIKE DENTINO (Sister Mary Amnesia)  We're very happy to have Mike back with us in one of his funniest roles ever!  Barn audiences had a special treat last season when he reprised the role of Opal Kronkie in Everybody Loves Opal--an instant sell-out!  Mike has been a fixture at the Barn practically since the opening.  He also  appeared last season reprising the role of Stan, the shell-shocked sound man in Chaps!  Previously, in recent years, he played Abe in Squabbles and Nunzio in Over The River and Through the Woods.  It's an honor to bring him back for this production!

Even with all that, Dave also finds time to do our books as well!
