Ringing" and has acted elsewhere in "Hello Dolly" in the chorus. He is
excited to be back acting and hopes you enjoy the show!!!:)

and Clear Space Productions in Lewes, Delaware. Dale participated in
the first dance doctoral thesis at New York University, The Kadema

Folk Dancers in Largo. Dale's mother, Sylvia Devey, was a local
theatrical actress and Beacon/Leader/Bee journalist.
Flament,
Luke (Wilbur
Fifield) is thrilled to be working with Scottie Michael again after
having performed in six previous shows under her direction. Favorite
roles under her direction include the Tin Man in "Wizard of Oz", the
Chief of Police in "Cops N' Robbers" and Mr. Darling in "Peter Pan."
His last appearance at FWP was as Dennis in "Murder At The Vicarage".
Used to typically playing comedic roles, he enjoys the challenge of
finally playing a much more serious dramatic role.
Foster,
Fred
(Horace "Pa" Pennypacker, Jr.) Fred is very pleased to be making his
debut performance at the FWP. He has appeared at several theatre
companies locally, most recently in the Early Bird Dinner Theatre's
production of "Out of Order". Favorite shows include "You Can't Take It
With You", "Bus Stop", "Murder at the Howard Johnson's", "The Dining
Room" and "Return Engagements". Always one to "foster" the development
of the arts, Fred thanks the audience for their support of live
theatre.
Fudens,
John
(Quinlan/Sheriff) Nice to continue working at Francis Wilson Playhouse,
my favorite theatre. It’s even nicer to be back with Scottie, one of my
favorite directors. Hope everyone enjoys the show.
Goldman,
Pennie
(Emily "Ma" Pennypacker) Pennie has been performing since her early
days in summer stock in Fishkill, NY. Most recently she reprised her
role as Yente in "Fiddler on the Roof". Her favorite role is Gooch in "Mame".
She is no stranger to Francis Wilson Playhouse having performed in
several plays over the past 23 years. Pennie dedicates all her
performances to the memory of her hubby, Freddee. Thanks Scottie for
giving me the chance to play Emily.
Hammesfah,
Austin (Teddie Pennypacker) is thrilled to be back on the Francis Wilson stage.
Austin would like to thank the cast, crew, and Scottie for such a
wonderful experience. That's all folks!

This is Jordan's third performance at FWP, first appearing as one of
Fagin's boys in "Oliver" in 2006, and returning the same year as
Craycroft in "Francis Wilson the Musical". Playing Ben feels like a
natural roll for Jordan, as he is also the youngest sibling in his own
family. Jordan would like to thank the entire cast for another great
production!
O'Neal,
Milton (Dr.
Fifield) Six months ago, Milt felt his age limited him to roles as
scarce as hens' teeth. However, good fortune has landed him onstage for
three consecutive appearances. He has taken part in comedies, dramas
and musicals in four Pinellas community theatres, with two Lary Awards –
Favorite Supporting Actor in the comedy "Ladies of the Camellias" and
the mystery "Laura" (right here at Francis Wilson Playhouse). Milt is
only nine years old.

Pennypacker) This is Kyle's first performance at FWP. He as appeared
with City Players in "Hello Dolly" and "Carousel". He is currently
attending St Petersburg Junior College majoring in Zoology.

Playhouse. Hayley has appeared in numerous roles in school productions
including "A Midsummer Night's Play" and "Not Fit for Man or Beast".
She has also done performances at Winter Wonderland in downtown
Clearwater.
Stutzel,
Rick (Grampa
Pennypacker) This is Rick's 5th appearance at FWP, dating back to 1998,
and his seventh show under the direction of Scottie Michael. When not
rehearsing with this fabulous cast and crew, he teaches at Palm Harbor
Middle School.

Christian School. She does a youth production during the summer with
the director; however this is her first year in an adult play. Other
credits include "Flapper" (Margaret), "Fiddler on the Roof Jr." (Yente),
and "Cinders" (Queen Opal). First, she would like to thank her God and
Savior Jesus Christ, without who, she is nothing. She would also like
to thank her friends and family. You guys are great. And lastly, she
would like to thank the cast and crew of "The Remarkable Mr.
Pennypacker". I love you all, you all are awesome!
