Thank you for a very entertaining evening and for always giving your all on stage. Iâm grateful for your passion for the theater because the we also benefit from it. Keep up the great work đ„°
The family gathers… and the fun begins.
Where longing meets lunacy beneath a bewitched sky.
An enchantment of voices and the power of the peculiar.
Where the curtain falls… but the spirits linger.

Gabriella is endlessly grateful for the opportunity to learn from such a talented group of actors and our fabulous directors and crew members. She would also like to thank her family for always encouraging her to follow her dreams.
Dean Miller is delighted (in a disturbingly cheerful way) to return to the stage with his cherished coven of theatrical miscreants. After making his unnervingly sweet debut as Bruce Bogtrotter in Matilda the Musical! (yes, the cake scene was a personal triumph), he sailed on to play the fearsome Blackbeard in Silverâs Secret. Since then, heâs thrown himself headfirst (sometimes literally) into the world of theater âespecially musicalsâsharpening his craft (not just his throwing knives) at the West End Theatre Camp in London, where he trained alongside his sister, Emma. When heâs not scheming⊠er, singing and acting on stage, he enjoys playing the piano, plotting with friends, and traveling to places both creepy and quaint. He is thrilled (and possibly armed with explosives) to once again sing, dance, and terrify the audience at the Kelley Theater. He sincerely hopes you hate the show. And if you donât⊠heâs working on that.
CH (LTC) ret. Don Williamson recently retired from military service and continues his calling as a Community Chaplain through fostering connection, healing, and joy wherever heâs planted.

Past credits include A CHRISTMAS CAROL (Scrooge) and THE KING AND I (Lun Tha) in Bamberg. Don celebrates 33 years with his wife Sue and thanks his four daughters for inspiring him to bring Uncle Festerâs lunacy to life!

Natascha Fisher is thrilled to join the Stuttgart Theatre Center as Grandma from The Addams Family for the Cabaret.

Mark von Bibra An Australian expatriate, Mark first joined Stuttgart Theatre Center in 2021 as both an Acting Class participant and a front-of-house volunteer, proving heâs just as comfortable greeting audiences as he is performing for them. His stage journey began in school productions, where he took on leading roles such as Oliver Twist (OLIVER!) and the Scarecrow (THE WIZARD OF OZ). At STC, he made his debut as the mischievous Minstrel in ONCE UPON A MATTRESS (2023), followed by ensemble roles in THE SOUND OF MUSIC (2023) and MATILDA (2024).

Becca is thrilled to join the happy haunts and materialize as a grim grinning (and singing and dancing) ghost on stage. Becca was last seen performing in shows such as A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE (Ensemble), WHOâS AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF (Martha), THE 39 STEPS (Clown #1), and ON THE TOWN (Hildy). She is grateful for the kookiest, spookiest, and ookiest cast and crew around. She would also like to thank her incredible husband, Tyler, and friends and family for their continued support.
Xavier has always been lurking in the wings, but this spirited soul finally decided to raise the curtain from the crypt! After haunting the halls of St Andrewsâ summer schoolâwhere he conjured up his very first self-written spook-tacular playâheâs back for his second eerie escapade. Thrilled to be part of this boo-tifully bizarre community, Xavier canât wait to let his inner ghoul shine under the ghost lights! đ»
Jacob Fisher is thrilled to debut on the Stuttgart Community Theater stage. Earlier this year, he tried theater for the first time, playing the dashing Gaston in his high schoolâs Beauty and the Beast Jr. while also designing the showâs lighting. A seven-year cellist and Science National Honor Society president, Jacob loves science and music. He thanks his family, especially his mom, for their support and looks forward to bringing many smiles onstage.
Tiffany is making her Stuttgart Community Theater debut! Her previous roles with Show Squad Community Theater in the United Arab Emirates include FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD (Scarecrow) and SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS (Mirror). Sheâd like to thank her family in Chicago and the UAE for their love and support. Especially her brothers, Charles and Ethan. Her twin pillars, who are her inspiration behind life, adventure, growth, passion and silliness.
Leah is thrilled to return again to the Stuttgart Theatre Center stage! This is her 4th production here previously appearing in A GENTLEMANâS GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER (Sibella), MATILDA (Ensemble), and I LOVE YOU, YOUâRE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE (Various). Some favorite past credits include AVENUE Q (Christmas Eve), FIVE WOMEN WEARING THE SAME DRESS (Meredith), ELEEMOSYNARY (Artie), and SEUSSICAL (Mayzie). When not at the theatre, Leah can be found making a mess in the art room at RBES.
A right proper ghoul of the stage, David is delighted to be crawling back for his sixth haunting with the illustrious Stuttgart Theater Center. A veritable shape-shifter of the theatre, heâs previously unnerved audiences in roles ranging from the lovesick wretch in I LOVE YOU, YOUâRE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE, to the terrified âActorâ in THE WOMAN IN BLACK. Heâs even elicited morbid chuckles as Rudolpho in MATILDA, and confounded as the Inspector in A GENTLEMANâS GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER. Most recently, he channeled his inner darkness as Wayne Hopkins in PUFFS, proving even the most ânormalâ souls have a touch of the macabre. Though his theatrical obsessions began in a previous life (some 25 years ago, a veritable eternity in Morticiaâs shadow!), his darkness clearly hasnât diminished. Having spent 16 years âsoaringâ with the Air Force (perhaps riding a particularly grim raven?), this globe-trotting soul has lingered in Japan, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, North Dakota, North Carolina, and Nevada before finding his current crypt in Germany. When not summoning characters on stage, he can be found exploring the cobblestone cemeteries of Europe, hoping to unearth as many morbid curiosities as his hearse will carry. He raises his bony fingers in gratitude to this delightfully ghastly community and the brilliant oddities of the cast. And, of course, a heartfelt âBah!â goes to his Mum and Dad, whose unwavering⊠tolerance and Lurch-like support have helped him achieve his dream of gracing the stage.
This is Tyeâs second production ever, both with STC. You may remember him as the raspy-voiced First Headmaster in last seasonâs rendition of Puffs, where a Stars and Stripes review noted that his portrayal âdeserves a bit of extra credit.â
As a mentor, Tye lives by the maxim:
âThe answer to any question or opportunity is ALWAYS NOâŠ
UNTIL YOU ASK.â
Case in pointâthough he did not get the PART he originally wanted, he is currently embracing the ROLE that needed him. This âYESâ becomes an opportunity to grow, contribute, and make a difference.
And with that, he would like to thank director Sarah Viola Wilson and the full company for giving him the chance to grow his love of theater, to contribute by caring for the people so the cast could focus on MOVING their characters TOWARDS the DARKNESS and to the success of this show and STC, and lastly to make a difference by leading with the small ACTS that keep everyone moving together.
Full Disclosure: Itâs my first time as a Stage ManagerâI hope I served you all well!
