"NEXT TO NORMAL is a brave, breathtaking
musical...It is something much more than a feel-
good musical. It is a feel-everything musical."—
The New York Times
KANSAS CITY THEATRE PREMIERE
Winner: Three 2009 Tony Awards® and 2010 Pulitzer
Prize! Meet Diana–sexy, sharp and desperately
trying to hold on to her family, including husband
Dan–handsome, genuine and hard-working, struggling
to juggle being a father and a husband. Welcome to
the world of NEXT TO NORMAL, the brilliant,
evocative winner of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize that
takes us inside the lives of a typical American
family that's anything but typical. Contains
Strong Language and Themes.
Next To Normal CAST
Daniel Beeman is a Nebraska-born 19 year-old who
just loves to be on stage. He has been performing
through several outlets such as ballet, jazz, tap,
musical theatre, show choir, and other choral
programs for over 10 years. He is also an
accomplished competitive Irish dancer, having
recently competed at the World Championships in
Ireland. He has had the privilege to perform solo
and with professional acts on stages in Belfast,
Omaha, Branson, Nashville, Chicago, Kansas City,
and Orlando. Musical theatre credits include Timon
in The Lion King, Linus in The Music Man, Link
Larkin in scenes from Hairspray, and starring as
Alex in his high school's originial musical
production, Turning Green. Daniel is also the Duke
of the Show Me Pride Youth Royalty Court and has
been performing in the weekly "MJ Knight's Dinner
is a Drag Show" at Hamburger Mary's Kansas City.
He plans to continue performing and thanks his
family and friends for theirundying support
through everything he does!
Graham Fairleigh is making his She&Her debut. Some
of Graham's favorite roles on the KC stage
include; Barrett in Titanic, Cinderella's Prince
in Into The Woods, Man 2 in Songs for a New World,
The Boss in Side Show and Cladwell in Urinetown.
Graham has also performed as a Cabaret artist and
a concert soloist in various venues around the
Kansas City area.
Robert Hingula is ecstatic to be a part of Next to
Normal and his first show with She & Her
Productions. Robert has appeared in numerous other
performances in the KC-Metro area including Tommy
(Tommy), [title of show](Hunter), The Wedding
Singer (Robbie Hart), Rent (Roger), Aida (Zoser),
Grease (Kenickie), Oklahoma!(Curley), and
Footloose (Chuck Cranston). This summer Robert
will be appearing in Sweeney Todd (Sweeney) and
You're a Good Man Charlie Brown! (Snoopy) at
Shawnee Mission Theatre in the Park. When not on
stage, Robert spends his days practicing
employment law at Polsinelli Shughart PC. He
attributes all his success to his super-hot wife,
Melissa (whose continued support allows him to
come out and play) and his beautiful daughter,
Darcie (whose own talent and awesomeness inspires
him – and keeps him laughing – daily).
Matthew King is very excited to work with 'She &
Her Productions' and to be apart of the Kansas
City premiere of 'Next to Normal'. Although he is
from Kansas City, he has most recently stepped
onto the theatre scene after returning from the
Roosevelt Conservatory for Musical Theatre and
hopes to continue strive within this wonderful
market even further. His most recent projects in
the city have been Collins in 'Rent' at the Barn
Players, Horton in 'Seussical' at Theatre in the
Park and the Coterie Theatre's 'Once Upon a
Mattress'. He is excited to to share the story of
such a brave musical to Kansas City community!
Kristin Leathers is the Owner/Chef of Alter Ego
Catering and Cakes (www.alteregofood.com/), has
her Doctorate and Masters in Clinical Psychology,
has her Bachelors in Radio/TV/Film, and oh, right,
is a Singer/Actor around KC. One might say her
career has been a bit Bipolar thus prepping her
for Diana (a role that jumped to the top of her
dream list the second she heard the cast album).
Kristin has been seen on stage around town at MET,
The Chestnut, OCTA, The Barn Players, Theatre in
the Park, MTH, and The White Theatre. Favorite
roles include: Woman 2 (SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD),
Trix (THE DROWSY CHAPERONE), Rhoda (A NEW BRAIN),
Dorothy Brock (42ND STREET), Daisy Hilton (SIDE
SHOW), and Gabby/Bobbi (CITY OF ANGELS). Having
started the year with ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S
NEST at MET and ending it with NEXT TO NORMAL, it
would seem Kristin is spending 2012 finding some
unexpected synchronicity between her stage work
and her psych doctorate. Which is cool. And doing
this role with Graham as her doctor is about as
perfect as anything could be. Her husband
(Maneesh) and her children (Holden and Tierney)
are a remarkable gift in her life, and she
dedicates her performance as Diana to them more
than any other performance she has ever done.
Hugs, therapy, meds, Bipolar cycling, and
stability to all three of you: I love you all even
more than this part. : )
Deanna Mazdra is thrilled to be a part of Next to
Normal as her first show with She and Her! She
graduated from the University of Central Missouri
where she played such roles as Little Red in Into
the Woods, Connie in A Chorus Line, Milady inThe
Three Musketeers and various roles with the
Central Missouri Repertory company. She was last
seen inReckless as Rachel with Relevance
Productions. Deanna also works as a peer educator
with the Coterie Theatre in their Dramatic Aids
Education project. She is so excited for this show
and for the chance to work with such wonderful
people!

A Little Murder Never Hurt Anybody Second Weekend
The River City Community Players announces the second weekend for A Little Murder Never Hurt Anybody by Ron Bernas. The show is an adult comedy which is NOT appropriate for children under the age of 13 without the consent/presence of a parent/guardian.
The show, directed by Jeff Adams, is about a wealthy middle aged man who, while enduring his mid-life crisis and in desperation, vows on New Year's Eve he will MURDER his incredibly beautiful, witty and sophisticated wife before the end of the coming year.
Enter his drop-dead knockout daughter, Bunny - who hasn't the collective brainpower of a box of rocks - and her fiance, Donald, an up and coming lawyer who has found the woman of his dreams and proposes to make her his wife.
Donald soon learns the Perry family has dark secrets and finds himself caught up in what he believes are terrible truths which have already resulted in deliberate and senseless murder. The bumbling Detective Plotnik and Donald attempt to solve the gruesome tale on their own but are daunted by........the seemingly sinister and underhanded butler, Buttram, who is obviously involved in several mysterious deaths - but to what degree?
Will Matthew Perry actually kill his wife, Julia?
Will Julia survive to see her daughter wed?
Will Donald and Detective Plotnik solve the mystery before the unthinkable?
Will Buttram get away with murder?
Will Bunny ever get....................anything?
Your only chance to see how this mystery is resolved is to come see the show!!!!!!!

About the play:
Zoe lives in the world of butterflies. When she kisses a stranger in the rain, patterns emerge, secrets unfurl, and butterflies fall from the sky. Do monarchs fly thousands of miles to Mexico because of some magnetic force or is it, as the locals say, that they are the souls of the departed returning for the Day of the Dead? The Bones of Butterflies is an exploration of forgiveness and the circle of life.
Directed by Richard Alan Nichols. Featuring Katie Kalahurka*, Jim Ramos, Teisha Bankston, Diane Bulan, Elizabeth A Hillman, Kathy Kane, Stephen Lerner, and Curtis Smith.
Free. (Adult Fare)

"NEXT TO NORMAL is a brave, breathtaking
musical...It is something much more than a feel-
good musical. It is a feel-everything musical."—
The New York Times
KANSAS CITY THEATRE PREMIERE
Winner: Three 2009 Tony Awards® and 2010 Pulitzer
Prize! Meet Diana–sexy, sharp and desperately
trying to hold on to her family, including husband
Dan–handsome, genuine and hard-working, struggling
to juggle being a father and a husband. Welcome to
the world of NEXT TO NORMAL, the brilliant,
evocative winner of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize that
takes us inside the lives of a typical American
family that's anything but typical. Contains
Strong Language and Themes.
Next To Normal CAST
Daniel Beeman is a Nebraska-born 19 year-old who
just loves to be on stage. He has been performing
through several outlets such as ballet, jazz, tap,
musical theatre, show choir, and other choral
programs for over 10 years. He is also an
accomplished competitive Irish dancer, having
recently competed at the World Championships in
Ireland. He has had the privilege to perform solo
and with professional acts on stages in Belfast,
Omaha, Branson, Nashville, Chicago, Kansas City,
and Orlando. Musical theatre credits include Timon
in The Lion King, Linus in The Music Man, Link
Larkin in scenes from Hairspray, and starring as
Alex in his high school's originial musical
production, Turning Green. Daniel is also the Duke
of the Show Me Pride Youth Royalty Court and has
been performing in the weekly "MJ Knight's Dinner
is a Drag Show" at Hamburger Mary's Kansas City.
He plans to continue performing and thanks his
family and friends for theirundying support
through everything he does!
Graham Fairleigh is making his She&Her debut. Some
of Graham's favorite roles on the KC stage
include; Barrett in Titanic, Cinderella's Prince
in Into The Woods, Man 2 in Songs for a New World,
The Boss in Side Show and Cladwell in Urinetown.
Graham has also performed as a Cabaret artist and
a concert soloist in various venues around the
Kansas City area.
Robert Hingula is ecstatic to be a part of Next to
Normal and his first show with She & Her
Productions. Robert has appeared in numerous other
performances in the KC-Metro area including Tommy
(Tommy), [title of show](Hunter), The Wedding
Singer (Robbie Hart), Rent (Roger), Aida (Zoser),
Grease (Kenickie), Oklahoma!(Curley), and
Footloose (Chuck Cranston). This summer Robert
will be appearing in Sweeney Todd (Sweeney) and
You're a Good Man Charlie Brown! (Snoopy) at
Shawnee Mission Theatre in the Park. When not on
stage, Robert spends his days practicing
employment law at Polsinelli Shughart PC. He
attributes all his success to his super-hot wife,
Melissa (whose continued support allows him to
come out and play) and his beautiful daughter,
Darcie (whose own talent and awesomeness inspires
him – and keeps him laughing – daily).
Matthew King is very excited to work with 'She &
Her Productions' and to be apart of the Kansas
City premiere of 'Next to Normal'. Although he is
from Kansas City, he has most recently stepped
onto the theatre scene after returning from the
Roosevelt Conservatory for Musical Theatre and
hopes to continue strive within this wonderful
market even further. His most recent projects in
the city have been Collins in 'Rent' at the Barn
Players, Horton in 'Seussical' at Theatre in the
Park and the Coterie Theatre's 'Once Upon a
Mattress'. He is excited to to share the story of
such a brave musical to Kansas City community!
Kristin Leathers is the Owner/Chef of Alter Ego
Catering and Cakes (www.alteregofood.com/), has
her Doctorate and Masters in Clinical Psychology,
has her Bachelors in Radio/TV/Film, and oh, right,
is a Singer/Actor around KC. One might say her
career has been a bit Bipolar thus prepping her
for Diana (a role that jumped to the top of her
dream list the second she heard the cast album).
Kristin has been seen on stage around town at MET,
The Chestnut, OCTA, The Barn Players, Theatre in
the Park, MTH, and The White Theatre. Favorite
roles include: Woman 2 (SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD),
Trix (THE DROWSY CHAPERONE), Rhoda (A NEW BRAIN),
Dorothy Brock (42ND STREET), Daisy Hilton (SIDE
SHOW), and Gabby/Bobbi (CITY OF ANGELS). Having
started the year with ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S
NEST at MET and ending it with NEXT TO NORMAL, it
would seem Kristin is spending 2012 finding some
unexpected synchronicity between her stage work
and her psych doctorate. Which is cool. And doing
this role with Graham as her doctor is about as
perfect as anything could be. Her husband
(Maneesh) and her children (Holden and Tierney)
are a remarkable gift in her life, and she
dedicates her performance as Diana to them more
than any other performance she has ever done.
Hugs, therapy, meds, Bipolar cycling, and
stability to all three of you: I love you all even
more than this part. : )
Deanna Mazdra is thrilled to be a part of Next to
Normal as her first show with She and Her! She
graduated from the University of Central Missouri
where she played such roles as Little Red in Into
the Woods, Connie in A Chorus Line, Milady inThe
Three Musketeers and various roles with the
Central Missouri Repertory company. She was last
seen inReckless as Rachel with Relevance
Productions. Deanna also works as a peer educator
with the Coterie Theatre in their Dramatic Aids
Education project. She is so excited for this show
and for the chance to work with such wonderful
people!

AUDITIONS - CRIMES OF THE HEART - OCTA
Olathe Community Theatre Association
Saturday, Oct. 27, 11am – 5pm
E-mail the director at darrendseb@gmail.com to schedule an audition appointment time.
(Callbacks by invitation TBD)
At OCTA / 500 E. Loula, Olathe, KS 66061
EXPECTATION and PREPARATION:
Prepare: If you are unknown to the director, please prepare a 1- to 2-minute comedic monologue. It may be memorized OR performed with the monologue script in hand. Auditioners will have the chance to review audition sides in advance for the roles that interest them (or for which they are appropriate). Please be familiar with the script or, at least, the story.
Bring: Resume and headshot if available. Bring all known conflicts from April 22 through the June production dates (which I know is difficult to predict this early, but do the best you can).
Rehearsals begin from approximately April 22 and will run mostly on Sunday through Thursday evenings with occasional Friday or Saturday times if needed based on cast conflicts.
PRODUCTION DATES: June 7 – 23, 2013, Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00pm, Sundays at 2:00pm
All performances take place at Olathe Community Theatre, 500 E. Loula, Olathe, KS 66061
SYNOPSIS: Hazlehurst, Mississippi, 1981. The three Magrath sisters have gathered to await news about their grandfather, who is living out his final hours in the local hospital. Lenny, the oldest sister, is unmarried and celebrating a depressing birthday. Meg, the middle sister, is back home about to give up on a failed singing career on the West Coast. Babe, the baby sister, is out on bail after shooting her husband. Their troubles are highlighted by their priggish cousin, Chick, an awkward lawyer who tries to keep Babe out of jail, and an ex-boyfriend of Meg's. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize.
CHARACTER BREAKDOWN
Lenny Magrath female 35 – 50 lead
Meg Magrath female 35 – 45 lead
Babe Botrelle female 30 – 40 lead
Chick Boyle female 35 – 50 supporting
Doc Porter male 35 – 50 supporting
Barnette Lloyd male 30 – 40 supporting
NOTE: The concept of this production is that the three sisters are in their thirties or forties, as opposed to the scripted twenty-somethings. Casting, including the casting of supporting characters, will be dependent on whether the characters appear in believable age-proximity to each other.
For more information, please contact Darren Sextro, Director, at darrendseb@gmail.com.

While fending off the film's stars, gossip columnists and his own father-in-law, Selznick sends a car for famed screenwriter Ben Hecht and pulls formidable director Victor Fleming from the set of The Wizard of Oz. Summoning both to his office, he locks the doors, closes the shades, and on a diet of bananas and peanuts, the three men labor over five days to fashion a screenplay that will become the blueprint for one of the most successful and beloved films of all time.
