MEET THE CAST
ALEX ANDERSON
BURRS
Alex is thrilled to return to the TCR
stage. You may have previously
seen Alex as Jamie in The Last Five
Years, Dr. Madden/Dr. Fine in Next
to Normal, or in the Studio Cabaret
Series. Alex would like to thank his
incredibly patient and wonderful
wife (Hannah) and daughter
(Margot). Thanks also to the
directing team for the opportunity,
and the cast for being so great to
work with. He promises he is nicer
in person.
PETER “JUBIRIL” AWE
MR. BLACK
Jubiril is an actor of Nigerian
descent and has been cast in
other plays in town such as The
Flick, Shakespeare’s Midsummer
Night’s Dream, and Whose Life Is
It Anyway?. As he embarks on his
journey as a “full scale” performing
artist, he hopes to find himself
through the arts while also building
himself up as a mentor. He would
like to thank the cast and house for
the amazing opportunity, wishing all
the best. “One luv Jerry.”
KAITLIN BYERS
KATE
Kaitlin/Kait couldn’t be more ecstatic
to be playing the part of Kate – her
first lead role here at TCR. While
she and Kate were both born in the
South, have the same first name,
and self-identify as the “Life of the
Party,” you’ll notice there are a few
differentiators. Kait wants to thank

her husband, Craig, for always
supporting her love for theatre and
for having homemade dinners ready
for her after each practice!
MIGUEL DAVIDSON
ENSEMBLE
When asked, “What is your favorite
thing to do?” Miguel would most
likely say “Acting, singing, dancing,
and drawing.” Miguel is excited
to be in his fourth TCR show and
fifth musical all together. If he had
anyone to thank, it would be Carrie
Fattig Tinkham. “She has really
helped me discover who I am as a
person and when all backs were
turned, she was there with an open
mind and helping hands.”

Lauren is thrilled to be returning
to the TCR stage! Her last show
at TCR was Legally Blonde in the
role of Elle Woods. Previous Cedar
