	Barb Andrews may live in New Hampshire, but says “I love New York and Broadway” which is why she has enjoyed lending a hand to Eric's production again.  Her work has been seen for 20 years in the Monadnock Region.  She taught professionally for 14 years for the New Hampshire Dance Institute (NHDI) in the Westmoreland, Wells Memorial, Franklin and Marlboro Schools, and at Monadnock Regional Junior High School. Last summer she was a roving production staff counselor for Creative Arts at Keene (CAKE) for The Moving Company. For the community she has choreographed 10 Keene Lions Club musicals, most recently The Music Man;  several Raylynmor Opera productions, most recently Ruddigore; and for AIDS Services for the Monadnock Region she has done some guest pieces for their Just Desserts benefits over the last 10 years.  Barbara had the pleasure of updating some prior ensemble pieces for Keene High School's recent musicals Damn Yankees and Fiddler on the Roof. She cherishes with laughter the Act II fight scenes for the Jeff Stout Concepts production of Noises Off as well as guest pieces she has done for the Keene Cheshiremen Barbershop chorus.  Her love of music/theatre/dance was nurtured at a very young age when her father would bring home records from the library and she dreamed of everyone dancing in her head, but the desire to teach was encouraged by friend and mentor,Mario Cossa. All this, with my social work background, has enabled me to reach children and adults at various stages in their life, which is what I find most rewarding.

	Abigail Bond is happy to be making her theatrical debut on the Branch River Theatre stage in Back to Broadway.  Move over, mom, this stage is big enough for the both of us!!!  Abby is eight years old and in the second grade at the Fuller School in Keene.  Other than her recent interest in the theatre, she enjoys swimming, art, soccer and taking hip- hop dance at The Moving Company in Keene, where she was most recently seen as a donkey in their production of Pinocchio.  You can also hear her as the voice of the little girl in the Monadnock Community Hospital commercials on the radio.
	Jennifer Bond has been acting for as long as she can remember.  As a child her mother affectionately nicknamed her Sarah Heartburn.  As such, she decided to channel her drama queen tendencies and minor in Theatre Arts at Franklin Pierce College in Rindge.  Locally you may remember Jennifer from such Branch River Theatre shows, including My Three Angels (Marie Louise), Selections From Working (Sharon Atkins, the nearly suicidal receptionist), Bus Stop (Cherie), On Broadway (Marian the Librarian in The Music Man and Sandy in Grease).  Jennifer was most recently seen in the Jeff Stout Concepts production of The Honeymooners as Trixie Norton.  But she is perhaps most famously (and definitely least clothed) remembered for her role in the Jeff Stout Concepts production of Noises Off as Brook/Vicki.  She also very much enjoyed playing the role of Mary Tart in the AIDS Services benefit, Just Desserts X and Just Desserts X Encore!  Jennifer is happy to be returning to the BRT stage, and sharing the spotlight with her daughter, Abigail (because apparently, drama queen tendencies are genetic).  When not on the stage, she enjoys playing the role of “mommy” to her two beautiful, amazing, brilliant daughters, Abigail and Lily, and is employed by the Monadnock Radio Group, where you may recognize her voice when she transforms into her alter-ego, known as J-Bo.  Jennifer lives in Keene with her husband Matt (genius set designer and budding thespian) and daughters.  Abby, YOU GO GIRL!!!
	Matt Bond has spent the last few years beating back the hoards of theater geeks who've been trying to convince him to step out from behind the scenes and try his hand at acting. He's helped design and build sets for Bus Stop, On Broadway, Noises Off!, Just Desserts, The Honeymooners and yes, Love, Sex and the I.R.S. After buckling under the pressure he decided to audition and frankly, it's changed his life. No longer is he the anonymous dork with the tool belt. He is not the jerk with the over inflated ego and the bevy of slack-jawed followers. He'd like to thank his lover wife Jennifer (a theater diva in her own right) and his two beautiful daughters Abigail and Lily for their undying love and support. Let the games begin!
	Mary Bush, originally from St. Louis, Missouri, recently made her first appearance on stage with BRT in the Just Desserts X Encore, and now makes her acting debut in an Evening Of One Acts.

Her love of music, drama, comedy, and, of course, the appreciation of the audience keeps her coming back for more. Not to mention the all the fun and lifelong friendships made along the way! In the daytime, her “real” life working full time as an insurance agent in Brattleboro, VT keeps her in nylons and out of bread lines. When not rehearsing for a play or musical, she usually can be found tending her flower garden or giving the house a makeover. She wishes to thank her husband and dearest friend, Tommy, for his support and love.

	Nancy Preus knows that the draw of the stage is never ending for those that love to act. She has been lucky enough to find a little bit of time to fulfill that dream for the last thirty-six years. It's still a wonder to her to bring words and characters to life and a pleasure to work with all kinds of casts. The theater is truly her home away from home.

She lives in Keene now in her "empty nest."

	Mark Tanzer's interest in theater and singing started later in life as he followed his daughter through her Middle & High school years as she got involved in school theatre and church choir. One thing led to another (usually preceded by “Come on Dad, you can do it”) and now he has a hobby. Over the years Mark has participated, at various times, as a tenor in the Hillsboro-Deering Mens Chorus and the Keene Chorale. He has been an active tenor in the Hillsboro-Deering Community Chorus and Smith Memorial Congregational Church Senior Choir since 1998 as chorus member and soloist. Mark is hoping that over time he will actually be able to remember enough words from a song to be able to sing it completely while in the shower. Mark's first theater role was with the Hillsboro-Deering High School Drama Club 2000 production of A Christmas Carol filling the roles of narrator, gentleman, and Ghost of Christmas Present. Currently he is a member of the Board of Directors for the Hillcat Summer Theater and acting Treasurer.

Mark lives in Hillsborough, NH and works for NGM in Keene, NH. He is grateful to his wife, best friend, and biggest supporter Sharon for having many late dinners, hosting cast parties, and putting up with his odd behavior frequently associated some vocal or theater endeavor, and for her ability to know the right words to the songs he is trying to memorize. Many thanks to Eric Walther for bringing Mark along for the excitement of “Broadway Again” and to Barb Andrews for her patience in teaching him simple dance steps (he can be taught!).

	Elise (Lisa) Cannon Truttling made her first appearance at Branch River Theatre in Moon Fever but she's not new to the stage. Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, Nellie in South Pacific, and Mame are several of the roles she auditioned for but did not land. You may recognize Lisa as 3rd from the left in Baker Elementary School's Puss In Boots, and Dead Body in Wait Until Dark. While waiting for the phone to ring Lisa writes children's books including Bertie and the Magic Biscuit Box, and Harry the Not-So-Scary. She is suspicious, however, that she was cast for Spoon River Anthology simply because of her pasty-white fit right into the whole dead-person scheme. She would like to thank her long time friend Joseph Prelas for holding down the fort and keeping her six-year-old daughter Olivia, company. Also, gratitude to Olivia for letting Mommy have some mommy-time … you are a little person with a gigantic heart!
	Eric Walther in his earlier years was Emcee to the well-known talent show at my home church in NY. He however built a dramatic wall around himself in high school until an audition his sophomore year. He sang, “There is no business like Show Business” in auditions for Annie Get Your Gun. Two days later a snowstorm had created a roof collapse in the auditorium and the musical was cancelled. Never the less, he assured himself that the roof incident was not in collaboration with his vocal experimenting that year. The following year he landed a solo part as Sasha in Fiddler on the Roof and the male lead John Truitt in Meet Me in St. Louis senior year. He has collectively in 10 years created a portfolio of programs, write-ups, ticket stubs and a BA in Theatre from Keene State. In between the grease paint, roars of laughter from the crowd, a few tears and some tomatoes (but only in his grand-mother Johanna's pasta sauce), he has developed a life in Keene helped by a job at C&S Wholesale Grocers. He resides in Maple Acres (AKA- “Stage West”) with the Ticket & Reservations Chairman Dana Corliss and her two boys Logan and Trevor. He considers himself lucky to live close to Steve Hamel's Wife and the Hamel family, Sweeney Todd and Anne, Jeff Stout Concepts and Wendy and next door to our Ragtime Evelyn Nesbit's brother-in-law Dave Bond. In past years he was President of my class at KSC and director of 4 BRT shows including On Broadway, this shows predecessor. He has ventured to Vermont to direct an Agatha Christie show, performed in 8 Keene Lions Club shows, assistant directing this years; The Music Man. In my 30th production in either acting or directing, Back to Broadway will mark my sheer love of the “Great White Way” and New York. Thank you to those who made me who he is today: my mother, my father, my brother, grandmothers, extended family and friends up and down the street.
