Meg Ruddy

Meg Ruddy is an LA based actor from Cincinnati, and is thrilled to be playing with Momentum Theatre Group for their second production, having previously appeared as Anna in their fall production of “A Bright New Boise.” When not curled up reading a play such as this one, she can be found cuddling with her rescue dog, Donna, or both at the same time if she’s lucky.

Mo Feldman

Mo Feldman is thrilled to be performing with Momentum again, having played Pauline in the company's inaugural production of Samuel D. Hunter's “A Bright New Boise”. Past credits include Audrey in “Little Shop”, Adele in “Die Fledermaus”, Susanna in “The Marriage of Figaro”, Despina in “Cosi fan tutte”, and Papagena in “The Magic Flute”. Fans of Lifetime Women’s Television may remember Ms. Feldman’s wildly underrated star turn as Linda, the concerned mother of Timmy, in 2019’s movie of the week thriller, “The Wrong Mommy”.

Tony Denison

Award-winning actor Tony Denison made his momentous television debut starring in Michael Mann's critically acclaimed drama Crime Story as Ray Luca. Denison joined the cast of The Closer, starring Kyra Sedgwick, as Lt. Det. Andy Flynn in 2005, which quickly became TNT's # 1 Drama. Transitioning his role onto the spin-off series Major Crimes staring Mary McDonnell, Lt. Flynn is a consistent fan-favorite known for his no nonsense approach to police work. While on The Closer, Denison received a Prism Award, along with five SAG nominations for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series. Mr. Denison’s New York Theater credits include several years in regional and repertory theater, traveling far and wide with roles as far reaching as Ivan Vassilevitch Lomov in Anton Chekhov’s The Marriage Proposal and Nick in Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Wolfe. In addition his Off and Off Off Broadway credits are numerous with his personal favorite that he produced and starred in the first New York revival production of Israel Horowitz’s The Indian Wants The Bronx (in the role originally starring Al Pacino.) Mr Denison's previous directorial efforts include a production of Israel Horowitz’s Line at The Tracy Roberts Theater in West Hollywood. Mr Denison has starred or co-starred in a least 10 feature films, including his latest independent film, Deep Woods. His personal favorite happens to be his first film Little Vegas, where he starred along with the immensely talented Catherine O’Hara. Denison's personal mission is to maintain his blue-collar values in a gold collar profession.

Kate Mansfield

Kate Mansfield is grateful to have this opportunity to, once again, be involved in theatre! She especially enjoys the creative process of helping actors build characters that allow the playwright’s words to pop off the page and come to life. Kate received a drama degree from San Diego State University. She performed in numerous productions in the San Diego area plus summer theatre. Perhaps her greatest dramatic role was in the classroom, where she taught grades K-1 and middle school (math, science, drama, game design). Her other creative outlets include writing poetry and stories, playing piano and dancing around her living room.
