THE CAST

 

CASEY WALSH

Casey is thrilled to be returning to the Children’s Theatre stage as Coral! Past credits include Rudolph (Vixen), Mamma Mia (Lisa), Sister Act (Ensemble Nun), and Legally Blonde (Margot). She would like to thank her friends, and family for all of the love and support. Last but not least, thank you Phill Hill for writing another “fin-tastic” production and for believing in her. Break legs everyone!

 

KAREN HANLEY

(Marina)

You’ve seen Karen on the DCT stage in Hairspray, James and the Giant Peach, Princess and the Frog, Little Witches, Joseph, and Three Pigs, among others.  Although fairly new to musical theatre, she’s performed on all kinds of stages, including CBGB’s, the All-Ireland Irish Dance Championships, and had the honor of singing an original song at Jazz at Lincoln Center.  She is also in the Amazon Prime show Puzzled. Many thanks to cast, crew & DCT!

 

CORINNE MARSHALL

Corinne is back for another children’s show at the Cabaret. Some of her past credits with the CCT include, Little Witches (Malice), Rumpelstiltskin (Queen Avarice), Princess and the Frog (Queen Desiree), Sleeping Beauty (Sorsha), Goldilocks (Mama Bear), Pinocchio (The Blue Fairy), Cinderella (Cinderella), James and the Giant Peach (Aunt Sponge), A Christmas Carol (Ghost of Christmas Present).

ANDREA PANE

(Myrtle)

Andrea is ecstatic to continue to exercise his character-acting chops in Little Mermaid! He graduated with a BFA in Acting from the University of Connecticut, completed a directing internship at the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey, and has studied Commedia Dell’Arte with Antonio Fava in Italy. He’s been acting and directing with the DCT Children’s Company since 2008: recent credits include Sherlock Holmes and the Haunted Cabaret, Rudolph, Princess and the Frog, Little Witches, Dracula Goes to High School, The Christmas Elf, Goldilocks, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and more. Most recently he directed and starred in MST Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor DreamCoat, as well as Three Pigs. Thanks to Horacio, my family, my dogs, and my love, to Ricky for his brilliant direction, to Phill for the words, and to the Hallinans for their unwavering support!

 

JASON PARRY

(Caspian)

Jason is more than ready to return to the stage now that live theatre is possible again! He has played many kings, but this is his first time as a prince! Some favorite roles with DCT TYA include Ichabod Crane, Shere Khan, and Rudolph. Other notable roles include Tick in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Emcee in Cabaret (CCP), Mozart/Flower Painter in Still Life With Iris (Long Wharf) and as a dancer in Jazz at Lincoln Center (NYC). When not onstage, Jason practices as a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant. Love and gratitude to everyone at DCT, my family and SH!

 

KAYLIN WELLER

(Bellow)

Kaylin is thrilled to be back with the Downtown Cabaret for her fifth season! Kaylin has been in ten Main Stage shows, and she has been a part of eight Children’s Theatre shows, most recently as Jenna in Three Pigs, Prancer in Rudolph, and Curly in Snow White. She recently made her choreographing debut in Three Pigs as well. Kaylin sends love and thanks to the production staff, her family, Joe, her friends and her Cabaret Theatre family. Hope everyone has a swimming time at The Little Mermaid!
