two years with CR Follies. His most

ADAM BURNHAM
MANAGER
Adam lives with a beautiful Shih
Tzu puppy. She is one of the
greatest dogs a person could ask
for. She has white silky hair ripe
with the aromas of Baby’s Breath
and children’s laughter. Her playful
nature and inclusive personality
can only be matched by mystical
creatures from Tales of Yore. This
gift of royalty, aptly named Princess
Leia, helps maintain the delicate
balance in Adam’s life. She hopes
you enjoy the show.
ANDREW BUTSCHI
CHADWICK
Andrew was once a non-believer of
Santa and magical elves, however
with a little TCR magic, his eyes
were opened to the true meaning
of Christmas. He has shown his
magic here before most recently
in Heathers. Andrew would like to
wish everyone a wonderful holiday
season and thank you for spending
time with us. “Sit back and enjoy the
show.”

for that) Seth is ready to spread
the holiday cheer once more with
Buddy and the cast of Elf. “Merry
Christmas, and enjoy the show!”
