Show Bios

Robyn

Robin Tye Lennex (Florence) A classically trained ballerina, Robyn has played many roles in dance and theatre productions, from Arabian Coffee in The Nutcracker to Dawn in All In the Timing. She was most recently seen on State 48’s stage as Audrey in As You Like It, as well as Jenny Hill in CGCC’s Big Fish. Tremendous thanks and love to Matt, Mom & Dad, Jen, Pete, & The Boys. Special thanks to Andrea for always believing in her.

Daniel
Daniel Brugger (Doc Meyers) After a lengthy hiatus from the theatre, he recently retired from his day job as a high school counselor to return to the stage, and Doc Myers is his first role in over twenty years. Favorite roles from his younger and thinner days include Orsino in Twelfth Night with the Wisconsin Shakespeare Festival, Det. Sgt. Trotter in The Mousetrap with Sunset Playhouse, and Soranzo in ‘Tis Pity She’s a Whore with Dale Gutzman Productions. A playwright at heart, Daniel has seen five of his scripts through to production, including The Butler Did What? and Mother of Pearls. Hearty thanks to the cast for putting up with his bad jokes.
Duncan

Keith Aspinall (Duncan Wooley) is appearing in his third State 48 production in the past year, taking on ever larger parts, first as Big Boy McGee in Murder at Sunset (~100 words of dialogue), then Duke Frederick in As You Like it (~500 words) and now Duncan Wooley (~2300 words). Honestly, this increase is not sustainable! But he thanks Andrea for having confidence in his ability to deliver. When not memorizing lines, Keith looks fondly, but forlornly at his ever growing (but under-played) board game collection. He thanks his wife Joanne for allowing him the time to perform!

Hannah LL

Hannah Van Holten (Meg Snider)

Kylee

Kylee Webb (Audrey) is 20 years old and is currently studying English at ASU and will be completing her B.A. in May. Kylee has been a cast member of many shows at State 48, playing such roles as Celia in As You Like It, Ramona Drake in Murder at Sunset, Margaret in Much Ado About Nothing, and Rita in Jekyll and Hyde. Like her character, Kylee also enjoys big words, overly explaining things, and attempting to be socially adept. She would like to thank Andrea and Judith for their hard work and dedication and her dogs, Jersey and Eviee, for keeping her sane.

Parker

Parker Nuttall (Leo “Max” Clark / 1st week) is thrilled, as always, to be working with State 48 once again!

He has worked with State 48 in two shows previously, being a Court Lord in As You Like It and King Duncan in Macbeth. Outside of State 48 he voice acts for freelance projects.
