On Golden Pond 2024 [Bill Ray]

[he/him] is very excited to be making his Masquerade debut, and he is even more excited to be working under Scott again for the first time in 30 years. Fun fact: Scott gave Matt his first acting gig when they were both but wee lads. He was last seen in Burlington County Footlighters’ 2nd Stage production of Fully Committed, a one-man show where he played over 40 different characters and totally memorized all his lines and didn’t at all read two-thirds of the script off a teleprompter during the performances. That’s a weird thing to ask. Shut up. What are you talking about. You should probably mind your own business.

Little Women [Beth]

Julia is so excited to make her mainstage debut at Masquerade! She is a senior at Delsea Regional High School. She has previously been seen as Jane Doe (Ride the Cyclone, Masquerade Theatre), Bea (Something Rotten Jr., Cumberland Players), and Regina George (Mean Girls: High School Edition, Ready for Anything Theatricals). She is so grateful for the cast and production team of Little Women and couldn't be happier to have met and reunited with so many incredible people. She is also excited to finally join her mother (Trisha Dennis, Marmee) onstage for the first time in 8 years. She would like to thank her mom and dad for always being her biggest cheerleaders and best role models.

Melancholy Play 2023 [TILLY]

(They/She) is a small, flightless bird. They hatched only a handful of days ago. They seem to enjoy music - but who knows what will stick as they continue to grow. Max has expressed interest in beauty, and in mathematics, and in friendships, and in silence. She is,,, learning. She is grateful.

Sarah continues to consider herself new to the local theatre community, since this is only her second show, but the team of people at Masquerade have made her very feel welcome, and she is thrilled to call herself a part of the troupe! She’d like to thank her future brother-in-law, Shawn (Vanya) for directing her in her only other role as Helen in Laughter on the 23rd Floor here at Masquerade, CB for believing in her abilities with a voodoo doll and casting her in this show, and Kristine (Masha) for apparently being excited to work together again – or at least doing a really excellent job acting like it! Gratitude to her two teenagers for being such good kids that she can mostly leave them to raise themselves while she’s at rehearsals. And most of all she’d like to thank her wonderful fiancé, Patrick (without whom she’d never have met Shawn) for putting up with all of this while she’s supposed to be helping to plan a wedding.

Ordinary Days 2025 [Deb]

Rachel is beyond excited to be stepping into this wonderfully chaotic role. This is her first production with Masquerade Theatre/Herrick Theatricals and it's been a whirlwind of joy- with maybe one too many coffee runs along the way. She recently graduated from Rowan University with a Bachelor’s degree in Theatre Arts, and is now navigating post-grad life in the New Jersey/Philadelphia area. Past credits include; Veronica in Heathers, Serena in Legally Blonde, Logainne Schwartzandgrubienere in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, the Narrator in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors. She hopes you laugh, cry, and maybe even question your life choices—just a little. Enjoy the show! Instagram: @rachelgrodek | Website: https://rachelgrodek65.wixsite.com/mysite
