Meet the Company
Cory Murphy
Jason Parry
After over a decade of appearances on the TYA stage, Jason is delighted to be adding the titles of writer and choreographer to his resume for this production! This performance marks the second time that Jason has starred as Rudolph! A CT local with a BFA in theatre, you may have spotted Jason in shows like Wizard of Oz, Rapunzel, The Christmas Elf (1 & 2!) and other professional theatres like Lincoln Center (NYC). When not "breaking legs" onstage you can find Jason mending them as a licensed physical therapist assistant.
Karen Hanley
After ten years acting in TYA, Karen debuts as co-writer and co-choreographer! Karen has performed in: regional theatre, the Amazon Prime show Puzzled, local commercials and even has an IMDB credit, which she finds hilarious. After a career as a physical therapist and raising 3 children, she’s performed on many different stages, including CBGBs, the All Ireland Irish Dance Championships, and she had the honor of singing her original song at Lincoln Center, which gave her the thrill of appearing in Playbill.
Helen Clare
Helen is excited to be back at the Cabaret this holiday season! She was last seen on the Cabaret stage in Snow White as Gruff. Other Regional: Sunset Boulevard (Music Theatre of CT), Lucy Van Pelt in YAGM, Charlie Brown (STONC), Pit Singer/Darlene U/S in Honky Tonk Angels (STONC), Suor Angelica (Madison Lyric Stage). In addition to the stage, you can find Helen in her role as “Miss Helen” teaching theatre and dance throughout NY and CT. itshelenclare.com @itshelenclare
