TCR Playbills A Christmas Story, The Musical Playbill | 页面 19

Duane Larson (Narrator) Duane
is thrilled to return to the main
stage in A Christmas Story;
ironically, he spent last Christmas
in the Grandon as Crumpet in
The Santaland Diaries (sort of
an anti-Christmas Story). He has
no idea what this could mean for
next Christmas. He also has a
play in this year’s Underground
Festival that you should all go
see. Duane would like to
dedicate his performance to the
memory of his Old Man, who
also bought him a BB gun at a
young age. And no eyes were
shot out!
Max Locher (Grover Dill/
Ensemble) Max goes to
McKinley. He’s been in some
shows. He is swag. He can run
faster than you. If you would
like to test that theory, he would
gladly race you.
Shelby Louviere (Ensemble)
This is Shelby’s third time being
here on TCR’s wonderful stage.
She has enjoyed every minute
of getting to bond and create
some holiday theatre magic with
a lovely cast and crew! A big
shoutout and love to her family
and friends, and to everyone
else out there who have decided
to make this show a part of their
holiday festivities!

Lucas Lowder (Flick/
Ensemble) Lucas Lowder is a 12
year old 7th grader at Regis
Middle School. His past
Theatre Cedar Rapids experience
has been as a Munchkin in The
Wizard of Oz, in An Evening with
Rodgers & Hammerstein and The
Music Man in Concert.
Lucas also had his first film
experience as The Leukemia Kid
in The Summerland Project movie
which was originally written for
TCR’s Underground New Play
Festival. Outside of TCR, Lucas
has performed in The Follies and
as Cain in Children of Eden.
When not performing, Lucas
plays tennis, the guitar and is in
show choir. “A huge thanks to
Leslie, Ben and Aaron for casting
him and embracing his Flickness!
And always a special thanks to
dad, mom, and brother Ethan!”
Aliya Musselman (Ensemble)

in Orlando, FL with the Disney
College Program. Recently, she’s

at TCR.
