Kathy Fink (Ida) - Kathy has been involved with TCP for 10 years. She spends much of her time behind the scenes, working as stage manager, reading scripts for next season, or helping with props. Every once in awhile she gets the chance to be on stage. Her most favorite characters were Irma in "Something for the Ducks", Vernadette in "The Dixie Swim Club", Effy in "The Spitfire Grill", Donna in "Taffeta Memories" and Chick in "Crimes of the Heart". No need to wonder why Kathy suffers from a "multiple personality disorder". As Irma in Something for the Ducks she was an old Jewish woman. She enjoyed it so much she knew she had to audition for this show. Being Ida has also been fun and she will miss everyone when it is over. Thanks to all the audience in attendance. Kathy would like to send a special thanks to her family who has had to put up with some strange expressions and accents during the past 2 months.

Patrick Rice (Sam) - Following a successful run as the domineering Caleb Thorpe in TCP"s "The Spitfire Grill" it feels wonderful to play nice guy Sam the Butcher in "The Cemetery Club". Patrick wishes to thank his wife for her love and support, the cast for their patience and Jon for his marvelous directing. Enjoy the show.

Sue Kleit (Lucille) - After attending so many TCP shows Sue is delighted to be in her first TCP production. She has really enjoyed her role as Lucille. Lucille has enabled Sue to reveal her inner sarcasm. She must acknowledge that without the support of her family, particularly her daughter Esther, she would never have been able to pull this off. This past year Sue portrayed Mrs. Mushnik in Love and Light Productions"" Little Shop of Horrors", and the stepmother in SCCT"s "Into the Woods". Thanks to Jon for his directing.

Sally Best (Mildred) - The Cemetery Club is Sally"s first appearance with TCP, having done a number of productions with SCCT and the Playhouse in McConnellstown. Catting around among the pigeons as Mildred has been a lot of fun, and she is grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a talented cast. Other cherished roles include Ilona in "She Loves Me", The Baroness in "The Sound of Music", Marian in "The Music Man", and Julie Jordan in "Carousel". Sally sings with Essence 2 gospel choir and in the shower at home. Offstage, she is a counselor and has found this show replete with situations that make her wish that Doris, Ida and Lucille were real life clients!!

Emily Padamonsky (Doris) - Emily is excited to be in her first production with TCP. She has performed previously with Altoona Community Theater and includes "Over the River and Through the Woods", "The Foreigner" and "The Nerd" as three of her favorites. Emily lives in Duncansville with her husband Bill. They are empty nesters having raised and sent four children out into the world. Three of their children, Scott, Bill and Katie, live close enough so that Emily and Bill can spoil their five grandkids. Betsy, the fourth and youngest, performs on Norwegian Cruise Lines as a principle singer. Emily retired in 2010 as a Reading Specialist for the Hollidaysburg Area School District, a "job" that she still misses. She and her husband have written the scripts for The Olde Tyme Train Rides in Hollidaysburg and for the Hollidaysburg 175th anniversary. During the summers Emily and her friend Lisa direct Little Lights Drama Camp and have had the pleasure of introducing many students to the fun of involvement in arts. "Thanks to Bill, Ron, Jeanne and Judy for helping me run lines. I think all four of you need to audition next time".
