Jon
Ellingson is appearing in his eighth season with FTG. As he reckons, he
has played a Viking, a lumberjack, a private eye, and was a stand-out as
the alligator wrestler in “Southern Fried Murder.” Oh yes, Jon has
had to wear a dress in a previous show, but says now, thankfully, it’s on
the other guy. |

Karla
Ellingson: Make no mistake Karla is really not a cranky churl but she has
no trouble
convincing you in this show. She has been active in FTG since coming to
town about 8 years
ago from Minneapolis. She has played a nurse, a psycho, an anti social recluse
and now a surly land lady. At home she is none of the above to Jon and family.

Rob
Harsh has had his finger in the theatre pie since high school; from Virginia
to Texas.
Robb has been active in FTG for the past few years appearing in “Southern
Fried Murder” and “Males Order Brides”. |

David
Jacobson has been an active member of FTG since its inception.
Dave has played many notable roles and is not afraid of being stretched.
You may remember him in “Popeye”, “3 ½ Musketeers” and in the role Lucky
Eddy in "Hagar the Horrible." Gender
change is not an entirely new entre’ but Dave says, "This time it’s
a little “more involved.” |

Sandy
Meyer really enjoys her involvement in local theatre. Playing roles from
“Mom” in “Cheaper by the Dozen,” to con artist and crook. Sandy states that
now she is coming a little
closer to reality playing a young, sexy, lady. But caution, guys, Sandy
is already taken! |

Charles
Pinkney claims to have appeared on all the major stages in the twin cities
though never
as a head-liner. He has made occassional appearances in FTG since 1989.
Charles has one previous directorial credit for “Southern Fried Murder”
in the 2000 season. Charles is the web-master for Fairmount-nd.com and teaches
art. |

Kathy
Rugenstein has gradually gotten more involved with the FTG since her first
non-speaking role as a patient for “Dastardly Dr. Devereaux” and now she
speaks, and a lot more as you see in tonight’s performance. Previous characters
include of dance hall girl, murderess and the actress in “Southern Fried
Murder.” |

Judie
Seavert, new to Fairmount and FTG this year, does not waste a moment to
become involved with an interest that has ranged from actress to director
over the past 20 years. Judie says, “being cast as a middle-aged person
this year will be my most challenging role!“ |

Larry
Zillgitt, our “justice of the peace" has been around the FTG a good
long while. Although he prefers to avoid the limelight, he has always added
a distinctiveness and personality to any of the roles he has taken on. |
