They were both in TOSAC ’ s “ Sweeney Todd ” earlier this year , but Marion Rose played Ransom ’ s estranged wife and only had minimal interactions . “ We ’ ve never really been able to work together ,” Ransom said . “ It ’ s always been pretty individual .”
But , the talented duo hopes to make up for lost time now that Marion Rose has returned to the stage from a health hiatus .
Ransom , along with the help of co-founder Cameron Parker , created the Young Actors Troupe at TOSAC , encouraging his sister to come back and begin auditioning again , picking up where she left off .
As her biggest supporter , Ransom could not have been more proud when she did return and audition , landing the role of Jack .

“ Seeing you ( Marion Rose ) perform as this character and put full energy and full everything , it made me feel so proud ,” he said .
Marion Rose said the same for Ransom , saying she was beaming with pride during his role as Uncle Fester in the Addams Family .
“ For some reason when I saw him as Fester , I was sitting there and I realized that ’ s not my baby brother anymore ,” she said . “ I was just so incredibly astounded by the amount of talent he had . I always knew he was that talented , but it just all hit me at once .”
However , no one is more proud than Marion Rose and Ransom ’ s parents .
“ I think they ’ re very proud ,” Ransom said . “ I don ’ t think we turned out exactly as they ’ ve expected , but I think we ’ ve contributed more than we would have if we were as expected .”
As Ransom approaches graduation and Marion Rose continues to expand her horizons following her health hiatus , their parents and the community look forward to whatever they bring to the table next .
