Bill Angelo (Charles) has previously appeared on the Lago Vista stage in Rumors and Born Yesterday and he designed the set for Nunsense. He is also the treasurer of the Players. He began acting and designing with the Denton Community Theatre. Bill and his wife Julie moved to Lago Vista when Bill became Director of Public Works for the City of Lago Vista three years ago. He enjoys gardening, watching the Cowboys, and the antics of their 3 dogs and 3 cats.


Summer Lyn Bryant (Ruth) recently joined the Players. This is her first performance since graduating from UT Austin with a BA in Theatre and Dance a year ago. She was previously in the Liberty Hill Community Theatre where she played a challenging role of a male investigator in a wheelchair in an original play. She enjoys composing songs on her piano & giving music lessons. Summer recently married Stephen Hamende, a talented musician.
 

Shanin Smith (Elvira) has been with the Players for one year and played Cassie Cooper as her first role in the Players’ production of Rumors. She serves on the Board as well as volunteers on various Players projects. She lives in Lago Vista with her husband, Trey, and two handsome boys, Bailey, 9, and Carter, 2.
 


Shamay Mansfield (Madame Arcati) is performing for the first time since the ninth grade. She joined the Players to become involved in the community since she and her husband, Jay, have only lived in Lago Vista for one year. Shamay is a surgical nurse with an Austin agency and works all over Austin.


Patrick Molloy (Dr. Bradman) has appeared on the Lago Vista stage in Rumors, Born Yesterday, Café Noir, and Auntie Mame. He was recently elected to the Board of the Players. He previously performed with theatre groups in Westchester, NY and Tampa, FL. Pat is now retired - “Thank God” he says, because he doesn’t “have time to hold a real job.”
 


Saundra Smith (Mrs. Bradman) played the part of Mona in the Players production of Give My Regards to Broadway and Deirdre in the Players production of Waiting in the Wings. Her life currently revolves around her five year old granddaughter, Taylor.

 


Kim Hibbert (Edith) studied theatre arts in high school, but much to her theatre teacher’s dismay, pursued her “first love” Art. She is married to Richard Hibbert. Kim and Richard are Lago Vista business owners and parents of 15 year old twin boys.


Julie Angelo (Director) is directing her 4th show for the Players. She previously directed and designed for Denton Community Theatre and theatres in Bryan/College Station. Julie is Executive Director of the American Association of Community Theatre.
