Emma Ackerman

Emma is delighted to be making her first appearance with Stagedoor! A recent transplant from Pennsylvania, she spent the last 15 years working at Touchstone Theatre, a small professional ensemble theatre in Bethlehem, PA, where her work included production management, design, performance, admin, and arts education. During the day, Emma performs at area schools with CSF’s Shakespeare and Violence Prevention Tour in Twelfth Night and Much Ado About Nothing. Other recent local work includes Night Terrors with Searcher Collective, Amelia's Big Idea with Miners Alley Performing Arts Center, and Triumph of Love with Wheat Ridge Theatre. www.emmaackerman.com

Josh Van

In June, Josh was hauled before a Bailey Metropolis judge on trumped-up charges selling ground honey badger droppings to undercover cops and claiming they were "super Fentanyl." He was then railroaded through the process and falsely pronounced guilty. He was then ordered to perform community service theater for a minimum of one show and to pay restitution to the zoo from where the honey badger was supposedly stolen. He has been speaking his monologues to his four houseplants and one cat (only 2 of the houseplants have survived this ordeal, and they may not recover). He is enabled by his lovely wife Karen.

Staci York

Staci is elated (and ever-so grateful) to be part of another Jill Manser production! An actor, singer, writer, director, and educator, Staci’s previous roles include Mindgame (Nurse Paisley), The Legacy of Baker Street(Felicity Watson-originated), Something's Afoot (Lady Manley-Prowe), Clue (Miss Scarlet), Into the Woods(The Baker's Wife), Little Women (Aunt March), Secret Garden (Martha), Matilda (Trunchbull), Laundry and Bourbon (Hattie), and God of Carnage (Veronica). A lover of voice-over, she can also be heard in YCC Radio Player's productions and commercial work. This performance is dedicated to Aeden, her husband and blue crayon.

Ken is very excited to be back at StageDoor Theatre, where he was last seen in Clue as Colonel Mustard. Local appearances have included Fools, Get Smart, Black Comedy, Around the World in 80 Days, and All in the Timing at Foothills Theater Company, and 212 Broadway at Evergreen Players.
