Timothy Pick (Clarke) has always been an actor at heart and is happy to return to the stage. When he’s not playing a British man from the 1920’s, he’s playing a British man from the 1770’s. Tim would like to thank this wonderful cast and crew, his friends and family (especially his parents), and his high school director Margert Spencer for more than he can put to words. Hope you all enjoy the show!

John Stamos (Jonathan) is all tail wags to be back on The Company Theatre stage! Past roles include Sandy in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, Bruiser in Legally Blonde, Barkley in Misery, Chef Louis in The Little Mermaid Live! When not on stage you can find John jaunting in the backyard with his fur brothers, Charlie Chaplin, Henry Winkler and the world’s best dog dad. John and his mom, the Production Manager, would like to say thank you to everyone at TCT for always making him feel so welcomed, loved, and never without treats! He dedicates this show to his brother and best friends, George Costanza and Bob Saget. He hopes every day is a paw-some day and wants to remind everyone how special rescue dogs are. ADOPT, DON’T SHOP!

Previous credits include King Lear at Gazebo Players of Medfield (Albany/Doctor/First Servant), The Merry Wives of Windsor at Dragonfly Theater Company (Fenton), and Blithe Spirit at Mass Arts Center (Charles Condomine).

He thanks the wonderful cast and crew for a tremendous collaborative effort on this splendid production. He remembers his dear friend, the late Elise O’Hara, who loved the life of stage folk as much as anyone ever did.

Jacqueline Hausman (Deirdre) (she/her) is excited to be playing this role with the fabulous Company Theatre. This is her first production with Company and she’s had such a marvelous time. Previous credits include William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Hermia) with UCC Randolph and Aristophanes’ Lysistrata (Lysistrata) with the Maenad Theatre Troupe. While she does not have a murderous husband or a horde of lovers, she does have a love of reading, writing, and buying more books to add to the ever-growing pile of ones she has not read. She would like to thank her family, friends, and the cast and crew for their support, guidance, and relentless enthusiasm. Her performance is dedicated to her mother.

Elizabeth Nelson-Childs (Majorie) is excited to be making her TCT debut with The Cottage. She has appeared in Deadline at The Arctic Playhouse as Deborah Haskins. Favorite roles include Philomena (Drinking Habits) and Jane Bennet (Pride & Prejudice). She has also had the pleasure of stage managing several community and regional theater productions. She is deeply grateful for the support of her husband, family, and friends.

Rob Gullicksen (Richard) who you might recognize from RENT earlier this year, is stoked to return for his fourth show at Company. Some of his favorite roles include A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Lysander), Romeo and Juliet (Mercutio), A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder (Man #1), and Almost, Maine (Lendall, Dave). Rob is also a founding member of the Maenad Theatre Troupe, a new company dedicated to making the classics accessible to modern audiences. Outside the theatre, Rob can be found at Whitman-Hanson Community Access producing local TV, banging drums with the band Project: No Sleep, and participating in general hijinks and tomfoolery. Rob wants to thank his friends, family, and partner for always encouraging his pursuits (and listening to his lines out of context from the other room). Enjoy the show! www.robgullicksen.com
