RHONDA RINGERING - Rosiland
The Curate Shakespeare's 'As You Like It' is Rhonda Ringering's first play since college.

Michelle studied theater in New York City at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy.

CHANDA WALKER - Audrey
Chanda is pleased to be pouncing, prancing and puckering up in her West Side Players debut. Some of her past credits include School for Scandal, Chicago, The Glass Menagerie and Wonderful Town. She was last seen in the original one-woman musical Majoring in Unemployment. Other than acting and fending off large Mosquitos, Chanda enjoys playing the piano and singing... loudly.

PAUL HARWOOD - Director
As part of Thornwood Productions Paul has been involved with film making for the past ten years as a writer, producer, editor, director and actor.
He was originally cast as the lead in "Saving Private Ryan" due to his extensive combat experience in WWII, but turned the part down due to his long standing friendship with Tom Hanks.
In addition to directing "Curate" Paul is currently putting the finishing touches on a full length screenplay to be produced by Thornwood in the near future.
None of the current rumors concerning Paul and the actress Cher are true - none of them. Honest!

ALAENA GUINN - Assistant Director

Recently she has been an assistant stage manager for the Portland Christmas Revels, assistant director for the Newberg Community Theater's South Pacific.
