Past credits include Lady Macbeth (Macbeth), Portia (Julius Caesar), Ce-lia (As You Like It) Juliet (Romeo and Juliet) and a whole lot more Shakespeare. Heron would like to thank her family and friends for their support, and her partner and their cat for always making her laugh. Kori Rife (Berthe) wants nothing more than for people to laugh at her and is grateful for every chance for that to happen – good or bad!

He would like to thank the Grand for bringing him back, the cast for all their hard and hilarious work, the production and performance crews for all their hard work, and last but not least, the love of his life, the show’s incredible stage manager, Alex Davis.
