Zach Johnson

Jake Laurents/ George

This is Zach's second SPAC production. Zach is a social worker originally from Michigan who loves the following: Elle (who portrays Mary in this particular production), his friends, his family, basically every food, and being a huge nerd (complimentary). Favorite roles include Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing, Edgar in King Lear, and Romeo in...well, you know...He is ecstatic over new friends made playing pretend on Long Island. Hi, mom!

Elle Lucksted

Sally Applewhite/ Mary Hatch Bailey

Elle is over the moon to be making her Smithtown PAC debut in one of her favorite stories of all time. Favorite past roles include Juliet in Romeo and Juliet and Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing (with Heritage Theatre Group in Michigan), and Goneril in King Lear with Long Island’s own Carriage House Players. Thanks to Jordan and this talented cast for the magical experience, to her friends and family for their constant support, and to Zach for sharing this wonderful life on and off stage. Happy holidays!

Andrew Lenahan

Sam Seymour/Stage Manager, Gower, Ernie, Sam, Uncle Billy, Dr. Campbell, Sheriff

Andrew Lenahan is a man of many voices and noises and he is thrilled to be appearing in his third consecutive production at Smithtown Performing Arts Center! This summer, he was slinging newspapers and serving seltzer (and sass) in Newsies. In the fall, he brought the terror to life—or unlife—as he shifted from growling like the undead to delivering breaking news in a matter of seconds in Night of the Living Dead. Offstage, he’s still searching for the perfect pastrami on rye and sour pickle.

Sincerest thanks to Mike, Kelly, Dorothy, Vinny, Abby, Jacques, Dan, the incredible SPAC staff, and the entire cast. Love always to Heather, Mom and Pop. And to our audience: thanks for the wings.
