Cast: Camping with Henry and Tom

After a 40 year hiatus from community theater, Frank is performing in his 2nd show at Theatre West. Besides playing multiple roles in last summer’s Epic Proportions, Frank has performed in productions in Salem and Bend in such roles as a very vain Bellboy in Plaza Suite, Lucentio/Bill Calhoun in Kiss Me Kate, and Oscar in Sweet Charity. 

Frank loves the beach and taking on his new role as a “coastie”. He also spends his time rowing on Devils Lake, working on home projects, making sawdust in his woodworking shop, or playing disc golf and pickleball. 

Scott Christianson got his acting career started when he moved to Lincoln City 7 years ago. He tried out for The Odd Couple and was awarded his first role as one of the poker playing friends of Felix and Oscar. He soon began helping with the Tour To Die For – the graveyard tour and just before the pandemic he was given his greatest role: The actor playing George Bailey in It’s a Wonderful Life – Radio production.

This is the first time Scott has participated in a production since then, as working at Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital as a Supervising Nurse, buying his dream property in Neotsu, and having his first grandchild, Amaya, has been taking up most of his free time. It was suggested he try out for this play and he decided it was time to bring back what had been a big joy in his life – acting and he looks forward to entertaining you in this production.

Patrick is performing in his first play at Theatre West, after volunteering backstage in many capacities. He most recently served as stagehand for both The Cocktail Hour and Outside Mullingar in 2022.

Patrick moved to Lincoln City from Palm Springs in October 2020 after a long career in film and TV production in the big city of Los Angeles. Welcome to the stage, Patrick.
