To Kill a Mockingbird - meet cast member Matt Neufeld

Image
Meet Matt Neufeld who is playing Nathan Radley in LTA's To Kill a Mockingbird . Tell us a little bit about your character.  What single word would you use to describe him? I play Nathan Radley, the older brother of Boo Radley.  Nathan only appears here and there, but the character does do something quite pivotal in the story.  He is mysterious, reclusive, an introvert, he doesn't say much, he's protective of Boo, and he's a bit of a mystery.  Thus, the one word I would use to describe Nathan is mysterious. What were some of the challenges you faced while working on this piece?

The Nance - meet cast member Janice Rivera!

Image
"This is an unusual production being that it is a play with music, not a musical. Because of the Burlesque setting we see little mini “plays within a play” with highlights of sketches and dances that are modeled after the ones you would have seen during the heyday of Burlesque. What is particularly clever is how the sketches and dance numbers highlight and parallel the storyline but aren’t actually a part of the narrative as would be the case with a normal “musical” production." J anice Rivera (Carmen/Dance Captain) is thrilled to have a second time at LTA to fly her Bandera Latina. She was last onstage here as Camila in In the Heights. Previous roles: Aldonza in Man of La Mancha at MCP and Lucille in Parade and Judas Iscariot in Jesus Christ Superstar (both WATCH nominations) at SMP. Other roles include Cathy in The Last Five Years (SCT) and Mrs. Walker in The Who’s Tommy and Ethel in Footloose (LTA). She has also been the sound designer for several LTA shows, ...
