KAILEIGH ADIE

Kaileigh Adie – is thrilled to be entertaining Muskoka’s audience with yet another fantastic play. “Almost, Maine” marks Kaileigh’s fifth Dragonfly production having been in ‘Gaslight’, ‘Blythe Spirit’, ‘An Inspector Calls’ and most recently appearing as Catherine in ‘Poof’. She has also been involved with several Rotary Musicals since she was a young teenager, appearing as the lead in Gypsy and My Fair Lady. Kaileigh would like to thank her husband and beautiful twin boys for encouraging her and supporting her love of the stage.

TIM LUCIER

Tim is thankful for the many theatre experiences that coloured his youth; particularly his high school Drama Major days performing in the Sears Festival and his memories of summer musical theatre with TOROS in North Bay. After 8 years away from the stage (though he did drop in to play “Featured Dancer”, then later, “Handsome Man” in Toronto web-series Out With Dad), it seems 2019 is the year for Tim to return to this passion. You may have seen him joyfully playing “Sky” in the Bracebridge/Huntsville co-production of Mamma Mia earlier this year.

ELIAS TRIVETT

Elias is delighted to be joining Dragonfly Theatre Company in the up coming show Almost, Maine. He is studying Business and Psychology at Trent University but keeps busy with performances on the side. He recently was voted Director of Outreach for Scared Scriptless Improv at Trent after a season of performing with them. He also has experience performing and volunteering with the Canadian Improv Games. His selected credits are Cabaret (Bobby), Gypsy (Tulsa) and Lion King (Simba). Muskoka raised, he is glad to be performing at home again this summer.

Earl works at Gravenhurst High School, where he teaches both drama and math, so this production brings together so much of what he loves. He is very excited to be working with this group of people, and he hopes he'll see you in March.

ROB ALLDRED-HUGHES
