From his first role in the 1993 production of the "Odd Couple" to this show, Dennis has either been onstage or directed over two dozen Circle Theatre productions. In recent years however his preference has been toward directing. His magnum opus production of "1776" is the one he is most proud. Other memorable shows he's directed include; "Inherit The Wind", "I Don't Live There Anymore", "Annie", "Once Upon A Mattress" and many more. He freely admits that none of these shows would have been as successful as they were without the hard work of his Producer and wife, Linda. His eternal thanks go out to her for her patience and commitment to the crazy projects he's gotten her involved in. Dennis is set to direct CT's next show, "The Red Velvet Cake War".
Frank Young is from Hampton, SC and has appeared in several productions including Grease, A Christmas Carol, South Pacific, Cheaper by the Dozen, The Wizard of Oz and several adaptations of Salkehatchie Stew. He is no stranger to CT as he is the father of the multitalented Marion Young. Frank is married to the wonderful Becky Young; they also have an extraordinary daughter Rebecca who is married to the ever patient Jim Matthews, and they are the parents of three outstanding grandchildren. Frank’s theatre experiences have been a tremendous boost to his ongoing role as wrangler for the herd of cats presently roaming in and around his home.
Daniel Anderson has been a part of several Circle Theatre productions including: Death and Taxes, Are You Being Served?, Clown Car, Frost Nixon, 1776, and The Unexpected Guest.
He is a native of Willison, SC who has also done some internet acting and had a book published in 2019.

Marion Young was born at a very young age and hopes to be an adult when he grows up. As a colorblind electrical contractor it’s shocking he gets any work done. He is an avid sportsman who cooks what he harvests and comes home to two loving kitties who keep his feet warm at night. No stranger to Circle Theatre, he has been on stage or in the director’s chair for multiple shows since 2014, including Spamalot, The Unexpected Guest, Frost/Nixon, Clown Car, and Night of the Living Dead.
Donna is a NJ native who lived in FL and Georgia before coming to South Carolina in 1979.
She loves her work as a Chiropractic Assistant at Barnwell Chiropractic.
She has been married to Coley for 39 years and they have two children and three grandchildren, who are the light of their lives. They also have a small menagerie of dogs, horses, cows, donkeys, and chickens on their small farm. This is Donna’s fifth Circle Theatre play. (Thank you, Coley. Love, Cutie Pie). She was Backwards Bobo, the backward talking clown, in Clown Car. Donna played the psychologist, Ms. Sawyer, who said Kris Kringle was crazy in Miracle on 34th Street. She also played the lead character, Edith, in Showtime at First Baptist. And the wacky high school drama teacher in the murder mystery Death and Taxes.

Jeff Miller and his wife, Beth, live in Barnwell. They raised their two children, Kevin and Ashley, here. Jeff retired from Barnwell County District #45 in 2022 and, inexplicably, went right back to work for them, part-time. He was a 2-time Teacher of the Year, 4-time Region Coach of the Year (Tennis) and was selected to coach the South Team in the North/South Tennis Classic. After teaching honors and regular high school Algebra, Geometry, Algebra II, and Calculus--while coaching for 25 years--Jeff is now "semi-retired" but finds himself busier than ever as he is the sportswriter for The People-Sentinel Newspaper.
Jeff's Circle Theatre credits include Clown Car, SPAM-A-LOT, The Sound of Music, and Second Samuel. Jeff was on the big screen as an extra in Clint Eastwood’s The Mule and was in The Program with James Caan, Craig Sheffer, and Halle Berry. Jeff followed Beth (Producer/Director/Actor) and Ashley (Actor) to Circle Theatre. In addition to acting, Jeff served on the Circle Theatre board and was a sponsor of the Junior Board. Jeff and Beth have two beautiful granddaughters, Meredith and Hannah, who live in Irmo, SC with their Mommy, Danielle, and Daddy, Kevin. |
Director's Notes
I cannot say anything without humbly thanking my wonderful, never-failing to impress, always available to help, build or create, or take over a rehearsal husband, Jeff. He did more for this production than I did, I think. We are usually on the same page with our thoughts and this production was no exception. After putting up with me for over 33 years, Jeff speaks "Beth" quite well and can even put words in my mouth that make sense.
Coming soon!
