We'd like to extend our appreciation to all of the unsung heroes who have rallied around this production & helped make it happen -- even though their names aren't all in the credits. Thank you so much to the theater community here in Wausau for helping us create this show. This cast & crew worked tirelessly to create characters that were funny & interesting and easy to understand even if sometimes the language is difficult.

Mary Sue Anderson
Mary Sue Anderson — a long-time “theatre mom” — is enjoying her very first theatre role as the First Officer in Twelfth Night, her favorite Shakespeare play. Having found the First Officer’s whistle to be very effective, she is now pondering its possible uses in her law practice.

For the future, he would like to move to Los Angeles & go into entertainment fulltime -- namely in acting & comic book writing.
