	G. Richard Ames fell in love with Vermont as a child, in Springfield, where he was infected by the acting bug. He attended St. Michael's College, where he earned bachelors' degrees in drama and English. Rick performs in four or five productions a year. Most recently he appeared as MacHeath in The Threepenny Opera at UVM. G.R. was, until early this year, the announcer for the entire nine-year run of Burlington's hottest game show sensation, Survey Says! He is happy to spend the weekend following this production giving away his cousin at her wedding ("Take my cousin, please!").

Based in Rochester, Vermont and in Washington DC his directing credits include working with The White River Valley Players (Our Town, Good Woman of Setzuan, Dancing at Lughnasa, Second Chance, (also co-wrote), Of Thee I Sing), and Lost Nation Theater where he directed Tartuffe last summer. Ethan is familiar to the theater world in Vermont from his 7+ productions with Vermont Stage Company, his work at Lost Nation Theater and his tours with his own theater Bald Mountain Stage Company. Ethan works regularly in Washington DC at Woolly Mammoth Theater, The Olney Theater Center, Round House Theater, and The Shakespeare Theater. Ethan has directed taught and run theater workshops at schools throughout the region. His heart is up on the Western slope of the Braintree Range, in his funky, cozy hand-built home, that he shares with his lovely wife Courtney and big dog Otis.
	Emily Crosby lives in Randolph and recently graduated from Wagner College in New York City. This is her first show with the Waterbury Festival Players.

	Robert Graham grew up in Vermont's, Mad River Valley and is relatively new to theatre and film. Got the bug after being asked by a friend/actor to read lines for a late arriving cast member. He writes poetry, is owner of Gravity Dance lifestyle clothing and artistic creations and hosts his own radio program, "The Ya Never Know Show" for the Valley's own WMRW community radio station.
