The Troupe

Some of the members of the troupe have been with the Players from the beginning. We have a great group, with a lot of talent. The following is a listing of all of the folk who have ever acted or worked with us, and been considered a part of the troupe (below this list are those who have worked with us but are not considered part of the troupe, per se). The name of the play after their name is the first play they worked with us (Our Kind I/II were the first plays we did). If they have a tag of (Inactive) after their name, they are not currently active in the troupe. (An inactive member is more than welcome to come play with the troupe again, if they so desire ...) The "Biography" links range from things the individual troupe members wrote, to things that I (Hirsch) put together.

Note: I have recently (December, 2010) removed a few of the people from the list below who are no longer active, and moved them further down the page to a different list ...

I don't wish to underplay the importance of the other folk that have worked with us from time to time. Their contributions are quite important -- every role is vital in some fashion to a play, even if it's not one of the "big ones".

We have hopes we'll see some of these folk in future production as well!

• Baron Aelf of King's Crossing played several small roles in Pericles, Prince of Tyre;
• Lady Branwen ferch Emrys ran the camera for us for A Tale of Two Squires ...;
• Master Brocc of Alderden was the 'King of the Best' in Vacuum Cleaner Salesman ...;

• Emily Latta was a young servant in The Mad Princess;
• Duke Frederick of Holland was a guard in one production of You Prayed For It!, and loaned us weapons for both productions. Frederick had a small walk-on role in A Tale of Two Squires, and another in Pericles, Prince of Tyre. In addition, Flieg has been one of our 'regular' audience members with Eilis O'Boirne and a few others, and is a good sport when we pick on him (he's sort of come to expect it!)...;

• Viscountess Syele von der Rosen, ably portrays the servant Pasquella in The Deceived;
• Baroness Tangwystyl verch Morgant Glasvryn was the 'orchestra' in Knight of the Burning Pestle and had a well-received bit part in Peermalion;
• Maestra Vittoria Aureli has assisted us in the past with pronunciation of names and places, and played the goddess Diana in Pericles, Prince of Tyre. She also pointed us at the script for The Deceived, and helped with pronunciation there.
