Meet our Cast
John MacDonald
Walter Pace
John is a new face in the theater, but has lived in the community for close to ten years. His only experience in theater is a semester of stagecraft in high school, and . . . he was not very good. It may have had something to do with effort applied ( or lack thereof), though things have turned around. When he isn’t working, he spends his time writing, spending time with family, playing Dungeons and Dragons, or hanging out with Paxton (more accurately Lord Paxton Lazybones of Otis).
Recently, his friend Jon Gaston passed away. He, too, was a performer, providing various voices, accents, and other character details to all the baddies in their years long Dungeons and Dragons campaign. For what it’s worth, whether good or bad, his debut performance is dedicated to Mr. Gaston.
Jan Coloccia
Margaret Locker
This is Jan’s first full-length production for Theatre West. A recent Oregon transplant, Jan comes from a busy background in community theatre: running a repertory company, a dinner theatre, and writing, teaching, directing, acting, and serving as vice president for a non-profit children’s theatre company, among other projects.
Jan was seen here last summer in the Agatha Christie reader’s theatre show. She is grateful to be welcomed into the Theatre West family!
Julie Starr
Donna Pace
Julie is excited to bring her diverse background as an author, therapeutic hypnotist, and former casino card dealer to her acting performance. She also hopes to offer her artistic painting skills behind the scenes in future productions.
Wes Ryan
Director
Dave Jones
Stanley Locker
This is Dave’s fifth go-round at Theatre West. His most recent one was playing nine characters in The Dining Room. He also appeared in Almost Maine in 2022. He also helped run the lights and sound for Panache in his maiden voyage at that post. He and his wife, Cindy were involved with productions for the Oakley Valley Arts Council in Idaho before retiring to the beautiful Oregon Coast in 2019. He is a semi-retired CPA who’s tax preparation income supports his ocean fishing addiction. He hopes you enjoy the show. Fish on!
Alice Luchau
Assistant Director
Alice Luchau has been active in live theater since 1963. While she is often seen onstage acting, she’s quite active backstage, from doing makeup and constructing costumes, building, painting and decorating sets, running lights and sound, stage managing and as assistant director, for this theater and elsewhere. Although she has written and directed award winning readers theaters, Alice will debut her directorial skills in this summer’s show, Harold and Maude
