Ann Colly (Beth) is absolutely delighted to return to Elden Street Players. She was last seen in ESP's production of Accomplice having portrayed the role of Harley Davidson/Melinda. Her other stage credits include Cecile de Volanges in VTC's Les Liaisons Dangereuses which earned her an ACT nomination, Muriel Tate in Neil Simon's Plaza Suite, Julie Jenkins/Ms. Gregory in Cedar Lane Stage's production of Museum, Eleanor Kirby in You Can't Take it With You and Miriam in Steambath. Special thanks to Tom and Shannon for the best voice mails ever! Mom, Jenny and Joey, I love you all so much. And to Jamie... I am truly blessed.
Todd C. Huse (Tom) has been busy this year. He directed ESP's production of Thumbs this past fall, played the role of Chorus in Henry V and transitioned from President to Artistic Director of ESP. In addition to his ESP directing credits, Todd has been on stage at ESP portraying Tom Joad (Grapes of Wrath), Hamlet (Hamlet), Fr. Rivard (The Runner Stumbles), Serge (ART) and even a surprise appearance as himself at the end of Accomplice. This production marks his 49th role since he started performing as a very tall Mayor of the Munchkins in seventh grade. Originally from suburban Kansas City (Prairie Village, KS), Todd received his BA in Theatre from Knox College (Galesburg, IL) and moved to the DC area in 1988. Since that time he has been on stage in twenty-nine shows and directed ten. He has earned several theater nominations and awards for his work. Todd works for SRA International as a systems analyst and lives in a Herndon zip code. His next, and greatest, production is due in a couple months when he and Hilary hope to welcome their first child into their community theater family.
David Sher (Gabe) has been seen on the ESP main stage most recently playing "Dave" in The Complete Works of William Shakespeare... Abridged, but ESP audiences should also remember him from The Trestle at Pope Lick Creek, The Shadow Box, The Tenth Man, Runaways, The Prime of Miss Jean Brody, The Runner Stumbles, and seven seasons of Something Different! He also directed ESP's True West and Henry V. This year marks the end of David's five year journey as Artistic Director for Elden Street. He would like to thank all of the people that contributed their talents, money and most importantly, their time and energy to ESP. We couldn't have done it without you.
Susan Talbott (Karen) is returning for her fourth production with the Elden Street Players. Her first role at ESP was as Sister Rita in The Runner Stumbles (opposite Todd Huse' Father Rivard), the accused Jennet in The Lady's Not For Burning and lastly Lady Capulet in Romeo and Juliet. Susan studied theatre at Westmont College in Santa Barbara and at the Oxford School of Drama in England. When not on stage, Susan is a wife, mother of two and loves nothing more that cooking for her dearest friends (hmmmm?).
