Sam Jennings (First Soldier) - This is Sam's eighteenth performance on the stage of this theatre. He is a junior at Weatherford High School where he is active in drama. Sam states that the stage is his home away from home and he proves it by performing in two other productions at the same time Moon Over Buffalo is in production.

Elizabeth Reed (Second Soldier) - Elizabeth is performing in her fourth play at this theatre and her second with Rick and Lindy as directors. She was seen in Ransom of Red Chief, The Amazing Technicolor DreamCoat and The Remarkable Mr. Penneypacker. All of her previous performances have been with her Grandpa, Jim Hull, on stage, but this time she is on stage with her Grandma, Sharon Hull. Elizabeth states that she loves to act.

Gentry Glancy (Fourth Soldier) - Gentry is a fifth grader and is the son of Paula Glancy and the grandson of Playhouse veteran Nellrita Barrick and also the younger brother of Ty Taylor (Howard). This is Gentry's first play. He hopes to follow in the footsteps of his acting family.

Jackie Gauger (Rosalind) - Jackie is married to Bob Gauger who plays Richard in this production. They have one son, Logan. Jackie is a nurse and works for Dr. Mohhamad. The only other play she had been in is Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in a non-speaking role. Jackie states that she has laughed at every practice and hopes to get through the performances without busting up.

Bob Gauger (Richard) - Bob is married to Jackie, a.k.a. Rosalind. Bob is a Firefighter/Network Administrator for the City of Clinton. Bob has worked lights and sound for several other plays, but this is his first time on stage. Bob states he has enjoyed working with the directors and the cast. "We have laughed and had a lot of fun putting the show together and hope you enjoy it as much as we have."

Mandy Parkhurst (Eileen) - Mandy and her husband Chad have two sons, Grayson and Cade. Mandy works as a cosmetologist at His and Hair in Clinton. Mandy has been on the Playhouse stage several times, her last role being Maggie in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. We are glad to have her back!

Sharon Hull (Ethel) - Sharon, a SWPH "old-timer" has been seen around the theatre in a number of capacities lately, but decided it was time to get back on the stage when people started asking if she had ever tried acting in a play. "What a hoot?" she says of taking on the character of crusty old Ethel and working with Rick, Lindy and such a talented cast (including her oldest Granddaughter, Elizabeth Reed, Solider #1). To quote Ethel, "The theatre is our lifeline to humanity." No bio would be complete without listing Sharon's #1 fan and encourager, her favorite actor and husband, Jim Hull.

Ty Taylor (Howard) - Ty is an 18 year old senior at Clinton High School. He is the son of Paula Glancy and the grandson of Nellrita and Steward Barrick. Ty has been in several plays on the SWPH stage including Annie Get Your Gun, 1940's Radio Hour and won a SOPHI for his role in Father of the Bride. He has also acted in other productions at other theatres. Ty enjoys hunting and spending time with family and friends.

Beverly Thomason (Charlotte Hay) - Beverly is somewhat a veteran at SWPH. She has been the assistant to the director for many recent productins and was last seen on stage in Columbo in a role that she received a SOPHI nomination for. She is married to Larry, a local businessman. She is the mom of Joe, a Journeyman Logistics Analyst at Tinker Air Force Base and Lindsey, a student at OSU. She is the Media Specialist at Nance Elementary. "It's been interesting, to say the least, being back on stage. The role of Charlotte has allowed me to step out of my box - way out! It's the first lead role I've done, which has been really scary, but so much fun! It's been said that 'Nobody ever died of laughter', but I think we came close. The role has broadened my characterization and definitely expanded my vocabulary. Thank you Webster, and thank you Rick and Lindy."

Gavin Conkling (Paul) - Moon Over Buffalo marks Gavin's eighth appearance on the SWPH stage. He was last seen in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Gavin is a 16 year old sophomore at Clinton High School and loves performing at SWPH.

Mark Conkling (George Hay) - Mark has been relatively active in the SWPH for the last few years. Most memorable roles have been "Bill" in Ransom of Red Chief (another McCain production), "Owen Musser" in The Foreigner and "Wiley Post" in The Will Rogers Follies. "I really enjoy doing comedy and can't wait to see the audience react to this one."
