5/6/2022

Len has been actively involved with the Leduc Drama Society for more than 25 years. He has done comedies and dramas, but his real love has always been musicals. Some of his favourites include ‘Company’, ‘Hello, Dolly!’ and ‘The Wedding Singer’. Over the years he has seen many changes and worked with some great people, but the young people in this show are a real standout. The talent is sure to blow you away because it has blown him away. Let yourself be taken back to an era of great music and crazy times and just enjoy.

After a brief time out of Canada, Matteo is pleased to be part of ‘Cry-Baby’, his first turn with the Leduc Drama Society, having been part of Festival Place productions of ‘Elf - The Musical’, ‘The Music Man’, ‘James and the Giant Peach’, ‘Fiddler On The Roof’, and ‘Charlotte’s Web’. He has also participated in revues with Theatre Alberta, having cut his early acting teeth with the Nextfest Arts Company and sessional instruction with the Citadel Theatre. Matteo is happy to be a part of this production, and truly looks forward to this amazing show!

Originally from Churchill Manitoba, Joe has lived in Leduc since 1973 (minus a few years spent in Yellowknife where he met the love of his life, Barb). How did he get involved with the Leduc Drama Society? He was watching Global News and they were doing a piece on “Geri-Actors” and he thought to himself that he’d like to try that! He’s thankful for the support and patience from the other members of the cast and crew. Joe loves to sing and this show has helped step up his dancing and singing abilities. Thank you and enjoy the show, Joe’s debut as a “Geri-Actor”.

This will be Alex’s 4th show with Leduc Drama Society. Alex hasn’t been in a show for a while now, so he is very excited to be back on stage and be doing the thing he loves most. Alex would like to thank his incredible director and friend Megan for pushing him to do ‘Cry-Baby’. Alex enjoys singing, dancing and modelling, as well as hanging out with friends. When he isn’t on stage Alex is working as a cashier at Safeway and sings to fellow coworkers all the musical theatre songs he knows in his spare time. Alex hopes you enjoy the show and hopes to see you at Turkey Point.
