Nanaimo Theatre Group

Cast of Cash On Delivery

Gordon McInnis Eric Swan

Despite a long history of participation in community theatre productions this is Gord's acting debut in an English farce. He maintains it has been a wonderful experience in large part because of the terrific direction from Peggy as well as the support and good humour of the whole cast during rehearsals. The experience has shed new light on the two great English traditions of farce and pubbing.

Moira Steele Linda Swan

Last seen on NTG's stage as Barbara in Deadly Affairs, Moira is a self confessed 'farce' junkie and she is delighted to be once again treading the boards with her old farce mates and some great new faces.
Although this will be Moira's 9th production with NTG, she says the rehearsals are always fun and the experience remains fresh.

Darran Karpuik Norman McDonald

After ten years with the Far Off Broadway theatre company in Powell River then seven years with Portal Players in Port Alberni life has brought Darren to Nanaimo where he is excited at the chance to be playing with NTG.
Although he has directed one production, Slow Dancing by Shelly Picard, acting is his forte'. Most recent productions include roles such as Paul in Misery, Alex in Rehearsal for Murder and Dr. Einstein in Arsenic and Old Lace. In past years he has also been seen in musicals where he played Petruchio in Kiss Me Kate, the Jester in Once Upon A Mattress and Lazar Wolfe in Fiddler on the Roof. Cash on Delivery brings him back to the genre he enjoys most ( but only if you laugh! ). Memorable farce productions are Move Over Mrs. Markham in which he played Philip and Rumors in which he played Ken..." Me Muvah should be Proud!"

George Compton Mr. Jenkins

George caught the theatre bug in grade six and says he has been performing on and off stage ever since. His first role with Nananimo Theatre Group was that of Mortimer Brewster in Arsenic and Old Lace back in 1984. Last summer during Bedazzled, an evening of one act plays, George played the part of Tony, a long suffering Audiologist in Customer Relations. He enjoys all aspects of theatre especially the camaraderie among all the cast and crew.

Roger Etherton Uncle George

Roger is "dead" happy to be with the old and new farce faces having last played a sometimes "dead" sometimes not Arthur Bottomly in the last NTG farce Deadly Affairs. Roger has a stong history in the genre of farce having appeared in such shows as, Not Now Darling, One For The Pot, Run For Your Wife and It Runs In The Family. Roger brings a farcical sense of humour to the production both in and out of character, which makes rehearsal and show prep even more fun for the cast. Roger's theatre career spans roughly 30 years and shows no sign of slowing down...thank goodness.

Barb Mowbray Sally Chessington

Barb joined NTG in 1974 when Gordon Kirby held auditions for The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man in the Moon Marigolds. Since then, Barb has been involved both on stage and behind the scenes in numerous productions. She was seen most recently as Benjamin Braddock's mother in NTG's production of The Graduate. Barb is delighted to be a part of this delicious farce and is looking forward to all the enjoyment the audience can expect.

Jolyon Brown Doctor Chapman

Jolyon is delighted to be back on the NTG stage with several other cast members from Fortinbras. Last seen as a "dead" king, he is now pleased to be an "alive" if hopelessly confused doctor. As a sideline he has designed the set for Cash On Delivery, his first at the Bailey since the one he designed for the panto, Dick Whittington, a few years ago. However, Jolyon has kept his hand in with two set designs at Lady Smith's Little Theatre for The Haunting of Hill House and a tin and bamboo hut for The long, The Short and The Tall.

Mel Frost Mr. Forbright

Mel is happy to be backwith NTG for the third time to join the cast of Cash On Delivery. His two previous appearances were in Major Barbara and Death of God. He also enjoys working with other theatre companies on the Island such as Echo Players in Qualicum Beach and the Yellow Point Drama Group in Cedar.
Mel says he is delighted to be with such a great troupe doing such an hilarious farce and hopes all the audiences have as much fun watching as the cast has had in preparing and
presenting the play.

Inge Cathers Ms Cowper

Inge is delighted to give her first performance on the stage at the Bailey Theatre for NTG as Ms Cowper. Previous performances with other theatre groups include Cora in Bad Year for Tomatoes, Lady Macbeth in The Black Bonspeil of Wullie McCrimmon, Mrs. White in The Man in the Bowler Hat, Mother in Monkey's Paw and Mrs. Rogers in Ten Little Indians. She has appeared in independent films such as, Key Eye the Movie and Making Kids Safe produced by Robin Webb; The Decision, produced by Ralph Shorter and Call Before You Dig produced by Lorne Kraft. Inge has also worked in Radio Plays and several Murder Mystery Dinner Theatres around the island including the huge benefit My Big Fat Nanaimo Wedding as Mother of the bride.

Kyla Perry Miss Dixon

Kyla has been an active member of NTG since moving to Nanaimo in 2005. She was the recipient of the Best Actress award at the NIZ Festival in 2006 for her role as Sarah in the play Trying. Kyla was last seen this past holiday season as Peter in the 2007 pantomime Peter and the Wolf. Kyla is ever grateful for the love and support of her family and friends.
