"Romeo & Juliet, Deceased"

The Cast!

JOHN ANDERBERG - Mercutio/Director
John's theatre debut was at the age of five performing as a rock in a theatre class taught by his mother. He had to be carried by two thirteen year old girls. This is where he learned that theatre was hard but rewarding. This lead him to Pacific University where he completed his Bachelors Degree in Theatre. After a year away from college John founded the West Side Players. John has served as the Artistic Director throughout the Players seven year history. His work in the theatre includes directing, acting, and design.

BRUCE CRAMER - Shakespeare
Bruce started acting in the 1960's. One of his first plays was a San Francisco area production of, "Witness for the prosecution." Other productions include "Carousel", "Brigadoon", and "Charlie's Aunt". Bruce works in the news department at KATU television. He's married, a father - and in his newest role - a grandfather.

JASON LEWIS - Romeo
Lewis' acting experience began in high school where he was an active member of the drama club for three years. He also appeared in Pacific University's production of "Ruffian on the Stair". Playing Romeo, this is Lewis' first production with the West Side Players.

LISA HERMAN-GAGNON - Juliet
First born daughter to playwright George Herman and actress Patricia Herman, Lisa dedicates this performance to them. When she's not doing shows around town, she is at home worshiping Christopher Lee and filing down her fangs.

SIGFRIED SEELIGER - Paris
Sigfried has been acting in various productions for the past six years. In addition to being an improv performer and a career student, Sigfried is also an aspiring film maker. While he admits that he went into acting to meet women... he concedes that this role might hinder his progress toward that goal.

ROGER MONROE - Tybalt
Roger has been the technical director with West Side Players for the past four years. He also appeared in West Side Players' "Puss 'n' Boots". He has been the resident stage manager at Triangle Productions for the past five years and is a graduate of Portland State University. Roger is currently the production manager/technical director at Northwest Children's Theatre and City Performing Arts.

LESA PHILLIPS - Rosaline
Lesa's theatre interest can be traced back to her junior high school days when she realized that she had found an enjoyable extra-curricular activity which involved no athletic prowess whatsoever. From there, she was "hooked", and continued to explore her theatrical interest through high school and college, earning her Bachelor's Degree in Theatre from the University of Portland. Although Lesa enjoys stage-managing and helping out with just about any thing on the technical end of theatre, she is most familiar with performing. This is her fifth year working with the Players, and she currently serves as the Secretary/Historian on the Board of Directors.
