Like Maude, Bonnie has turned 80 herself and has plans for another 20 years. She credits her longevity to good genes, good jeans, good wine, good dogs, and good company (you know who you are). She will keep doing theater as long as she can climb ladders and memorize “those frikken lines.” Bonnie will be hosting a directors’ forum at the theater on September 26th, and she is directing the first play of Theatre West’s 50th year of retrospective plays, Angel Street (Gaslight) in October.

Cindy spent 32 years teaching for Cassia County School District in Idaho before retiring. She and her wonderful husband/ love of her life Dave happily retired to Newport in May of 2019. Prior to moving to Newport she had roles in 2 plays for Oakley Valley Arts Council: The Man Who Came to Dinner and The Christmas Schooner. She enjoyed performing on the Theatre West Stage as Victoria in Sex Please We’re Sixty.

Sean is an accountant living in Lincoln City with his wife, and two cats who tolerate his existence. He enjoys playing computer games, listening to music, reading, and watching movies. He also has a love for all things theater related. Singing, acting and directing are Sean’s passion. This is Sean’s fifth play at Theatre West.

I made my debut as Edna in A Delicate Balance in CO in 2003 and performed on several stages before moving to this coast a few years ago. I thought my theatre days were behind me. Enter Theatre West.

I thoroughly enjoyed my (multiple!) roles in The Dining Room and as Kathleen in Panache. I am drawn to unconventional and touching stories and roles, and TW has provided the perfect vehicle for me. Once again, I am a part of a remarkable group of cast/crew/leaders and sponsors, bringing you a quirky drama that is guaranteed to keep you paying attention and get you talking after the show. Enjoy!
