GREG SMITH
HORACE VANDERGELDER
Greg’s first TCR show was The
Producers in 2011 and Hello, Dolly!
marks Greg’s twenty-first show overall.
You may have seen Greg last season
in My Fair Lady (Colonel Pickering),
Shakespeare in Love (Ensemble),
and Newsies (Ensemble). His passion
for music and theater wouldn’t be
realized without the support of his
beautiful wife, Marcia, his parents
and in-laws, and his three children:
Michael, Emily, and Beth.
JAKE STIGERS

Jake extends a big Hello! To all of
you (even if your name isn’t Dolly)
and thanks you for supporting local
live theater. He last danced across
this stage in all his glory in The Full
Monty, and over the last 30 years at
TCR has enjoyed playing the stripper
pianist Mr. Braithwaite in Billy Elliot,
King Triton in Disney’s The Little
Mermaid, Limping Man in Fuddy
Meers, Bobby in A Chorus Line and
Smudge in Forever Plaid.

NINA SWANSON
DOLLY GALLAGHER LEVI
Nina is ecstatic to be back on the
boards of TCR once again. Their
shared history goes back to the old
building in what is now the NewBo
area where she worked with Mick
Denniston as Catharine in both View
From the Bridge and Pippin. When
the theatre moved to its fabulous
new location, she came right along
with it performing, directing, and
choreographing. Some of her
favorite roles from those times include
Guinevere in Camelot, Audrey in Little
Shop of Horros, Narrator in Joseph/
Dreamcoat, and Peter Pan in Peter
Pan. Since then, she has continued
her theatrical work in many local
theatres including Liars Holographic
Radio Theatre, Riverside Theatre, Old
Creamery, and Revival. Outside of
the theatre, Nina teaches piano, is
Music Minister at The Unity Center,
reads precociously, and engages in
the growing of exotic weeds in her
garden.
JAKE TRUEMPER
COURT CLERK/ENSEMBLE
Jake is excited, as always, to be back
at TCR. He’s a radio host at Z102.9
and coaches Improv at Washington
High School.
