Carrie loves a good murder mystery, and she is excited to help bring this one to life! She is proud to serve as a Board Member for The Warming Shelter as well as the Sioux City Community Theatre. Her favorite role from the last year was Fruma Sarah in Fiddler on the Roof. Thank you for supporting local live theatre!

When not on stage, Cody is a high school math teacher for Bishop Heelan.  Some of his favorite past roles include Patsy in “Spamalot”, Sebastian in “The Little Mermaid”, and Lord Farquaad in “Shrek”.  He is thankful to be able to be part of this production with such a talented group of people!  Enjoy!!

Hello! My name is Dane Maier, you may remember me from SCCT's Night of The Living Dead or from Fiddler on The Roof. When I’m not on the stage I work as an Air Force Recruiter at the 185th Air Guard and am a student at Bellevue University studying History and Education. I hope you enjoy the show and continue to support local community theater!

Dave is again on stage, last seen in 'Pirates of Penzance' last year. Employed at Tyson Foods as a mainframe infrastructure engineer, he enjoys playing and collecting guitars, family time, Lego sets, amateur radio, and working with his hands.

Elizabeth Breen is a returning face to the Sioux City Community Theatre stage. This past Christmas, you may have seen her as Mary Hatch in the winter production of It’s A Wonderful Life or as Barbara in the fall production of Night of the Living Dead. When Elizabeth isn’t on stage, she’s a busy bee at work or spending time with friends, family, and of course her dog, Hadley.

Isabel is a member of the Siouxland Wave swim team and is currently finishing up her first year of violin lessons. In her spare time, she likes to play Roblox with friends, craft, and is always singing (life is a musical!).

Jamie-Lynn is no stranger to a stage, as you may have seen her in quite a few productions with LAMB Theatre at Morningside or Vangarde.  Having had a fascination with Agatha Christie at a young age, it truly is a full-circle moment that has come together with this show. She loves working with these people, and hopes you love it just as much. Élvezd és érezd jól magad!

Instead of watching some big-budget movie or going to yet another country concert, you decided to check out the local art scene…wait a minute...Hasn’t this guy been in like almost every show this year?  Doesn’t he have a wife and kids who he’d love to thank for their support in yet ANOTHER stage show? Oh well. Choo choo!

Julianna is ten years old and doing her first show with her mom, second main stage show, and her seventh show at the community theater. Julianna is happy you are here and excited to perform this show for you.
