CJ has a tendency to gravitate towards murder mystery auditions due to her love of juicy character acting and period costuming. Over the last 10 years, CJ has been in numerous Branch River Theatre (BRT), Vermont Theatre Company and Keene Lion Club shows. Some of her favorite performances were in <I><B>Noises Off</B></I>, <I><B>Wait Until Dark</B></I>, <I><B>Merlin</B></I>, <I><B>Oklahoma!</B></I> and of course all the Agatha Christie plays she’s been in. Coincidently, CJ has another reason to feel like she’s having an out-of-body experience, and no, this time it isn’t because of an allergic reaction to onstage rug burns, she’s the newly elected President of Branch River Theatre. It’s in this capacity, that CJ wishes to thank you for coming to this show and encourages you to support---with lots of friends and family!!---and see all BRT’s future shows. Big hugs & kisses to all her supportive friends, family, fellow BRT board members who make the magic happen, fellow castmembers, those gotta-love-em theatre groupies and her spoiled little dog, Ripley.

Working with Sharon McHugh, the website has been modernized and the ticket reservation system, through phone and email, has been streamlined. As an actor he has participated in the revitalization of the group back in the 90’s and has been involved with musicals, plays and dinner theater(re). He has been an actor, artistic and musical director, producer and concession guy for many productions. Acting and singing is his favorite BRT activity while tearing down the set and lifting the piano on stage are his least favorite. Gary has been on stage with many of his friends, as well as his daughter, Kaeleigh who sang a Les Mis song, and his sons, Dan, who was a disco dancer in a variety show, and Ben who ate Cap’n Crunch, sang, and drummed with his dad in several productions. His daughter-in-law, Kate, has also trod the boards with Gary. The ever-increasing production values of recent shows are astounding and only promises to get better. Gary welcomes everyone to join up in some way; we always are looking for new talent. When not working, doing laundry, or keeping his cars and motorcycles running, Gary is the lead singer in the Rage ‘N Age Band out of the Manchester, NH area. He would like to remind all patrons of the arts that paper money and personal checks cause less damage to the new curtain when thrown onto the stage in appreciation of an enjoyable production, and is a sure harbinger of good fortune for the theater-goer who participates in this age-old tradition! </FONT><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFF33" FACE="Arial" ><B><IMG SRC="f320f0f0.gif" border=0 width="15" height="15" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> </B></FONT><B> 2009 NH Theatre Award finalist - Best Sound Design, for Branch River  Theatre's production of  </B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><I><B>Dancing at Lughnasa</B></I></FONT><B>!</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="54977d960.jpg" border=0 width="125" height="150" ALT="Gary Gagnon" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="100"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="604" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#000000" BORDERCOLORDARK="#000000" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 428 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="52ea78b60.jpg" border=0 width="120" height="182" ALT="Lori Goldring" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="75"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="466"><div> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFCC33" FACE="Arial" ><B>Lori Goldring's</B></FONT> enthusiasm to make people laugh and a have a good time inspired her to direct her second comedy <I><B>The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940</B></I> for BRT's 28<FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" >th</FONT> season opener.  When Lori is not directing you may see her presence on the stage either acting and/or the actual set itself!  Last year, Lori was excited and honored to place in the top 3 in the state for the NH Theatre Awards for best scenic designer for <I><B>Dancing at Lughnasa</B></I>.  She was spotted this past March playing Vera in the female version of <I><B>The Odd Couple.  </B></I>She opened BRT's 27th season with her directorial debut for the well received <I><B>Run For Your Wife</B></I>. Lori is a board member on Branch River Theatre responsible for the set designs/construction and properties. So, it would probably be fair to say that Lori has come a long way from her first role as a dancing tree and a number of other inanimate objects in <I><B>The Wizard of Oz</B></I> with Actor Circle Theatre six years ago.  In that time she has performed in over a dozen shows.  Some of her favorite roles were Kate in BRT's <I><B>Love, Sex and the IRS</B></I>, Louise in Springfield Community Player's performance of <I><B>Gypsy</B></I>, Pop and Frenchy in Vermont Theatre Company's <I><B>Lights Up Broadway</B></I>, being part of and producing BRT's <I><B>Improv Smackdown</B></I> and show coordinator for BRT's 25th anniversary show <I><B>The Silver Jubilee</B></I>. She has also been spotted at the Colonial Theatre having been in a couple of the Keene Lions Club shows.  Lori would also like to thank her family for their loving support and that she actually got her wonderful and talented mother to help with the artwork for the poster, the portrait of General Von Grossenknueten and for all the other artwork done on this set. Oh…and of course for watching Mr. Flair…again!  Lori would also like to show her appreciation to her Aunt Shelly for flying all the way from Florida to support her niece's endeavors! </div> <div>  <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFF33" FACE="Arial" ><B><IMG SRC="f320f0f0.gif" border=0 width="15" height="15" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> </B></FONT><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFCC33" FACE="Arial" ><B> 2009 NH Theatre Award top 3 finalist - Best Scenic Designer, for Branch River  Theatre's production of  </B></FONT><I><B>Dancing at Lughnasa</B></I><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFCC33" FACE="Arial" ><B>!</B></FONT></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="605" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#000000" BORDERCOLORDARK="#000000" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 169 WIDTH="468"><div> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFCC33" FACE="Arial" ><B>Margaret Lynott </B></FONT>is happy to be in the play as Renee.
