Cast of Scrooge! The Musical

Mary is originally from Central California and has a masters in music from The Boston Conservatory. She’s performed with companies such as PCPA/Theaterfest in Santa Maria, CA, The Goodman Theater in Chicago, IL and various companies in Boston, MA. More recently, Mary has traveled the country as a military wife of a JAG officer and is the mother to two beautiful girls. Her oldest daughter plays Kathy Cratchit in tonight’s performance, and it’s been a thrill for her to make a unique Christmas memory with her. Mary dedicates her performance to her youngest daughter, Annie, her niece, Rose, who inspires her, and to her phenomenal husband, Scott.

You may have seen Matt as the not-so-bright, injury prone Hero in Rustler’s Revenge at Brush Creek Playhouse in Silverton, OR. He is very excited to make his theater debut with Theater in the Grove. Another past favorite role would include playing the Cheese Grater/Ensemble in Beauty and the Beast, and playing in the Ensemble of Jesus Christ, Superstar with Pentacle Theater in Salem. The future is bright and you will surely see more of him in productions in and around the Portland area.

Rea has been acting for about a year. She’s allways loved acting and plays but her favorite part about being in shows is definitely the community around you because everyone is so nice and supportive and funny. She would like to give a special thanks to her friends and family for supporting her acting and she wants them to know thank you very much! She thinks the audience will appreciate the show because it tells the story to not be rude to people and enjoy the Christmas spirit.
