Theatre At First

Eli Burrus (Props Assistant) is proud to make The Aria of Julie d'Aubigny his first T@F show! He has also appeared as cast in several shows with the Post Meridian Radio Players, Quannapowitt Players, and various online voice acting projects. He loves to spend his spare time playing video games and snoozing with his two cats.

Elizabeth Ross (Intimacy Director) is so pleased to be working on this wonderful show with all these amazing and talented folks! Most recently, Elizabeth has also done Intimacy Direction for T@F's production of A King or No King and directed None Escape - The Island of Dr. Moreau.
-----------------------------------

Jamie Lin (Co-Dramaturg, Publicity Designer) is so happy to celebrate the biconic life of Julie with publicity design and history deep dives as co-dramaturg — thanks to Sam for being such an amazing teammate! She's worn many Firstie hats over the years but most notably as EDI Coordinator. Offstage, she is a graphic designer, D&D gamemaster, and beloved underbutler to Tia 🐶.

Keisha Warriner (Props Designer) is thrilled to work with T@F again and tell this incredible story. Previously they have designed props for Hamlet and Marian, as well as the sets for Festival@First (Love, and Myths & Legends). They have also worked with PMRP doing foley and graphic design, and helping with the Mrs. Hawking series. In their spare time they continue their love of making wonderful things, both in their day job as a jeweler and trying new crafting and storytelling hobbies every day.

On the fence about auditioning for Festival@First 14: JUST DESERTS? Maybe these testimonials will...tip the scales! :p Check out some of the amazing things actors in previous Festivals had to say about the process, then go to https://www.theatreatfirst.org/auditions to sign up for a slot. Auditions will be this Monday (6/8) and Tuesday (6/9), and space is filling fast!

Addie Pates (Gossip 4) is thrilled to be back in the basement—she was in previous T@F shows as Puma Woman in None Escape and Will Scarlett in Marian. She’s also a familiar face among Somerville's Dream Roll Players: Witch in Macbeth and Buckingham in Richard III. Other favorite roles include Ted in Peter and the Starcatcher, #25 in The Wolves, and Ernst and Hanschen in Spring Awakening. When she's not onstage, you can find her building sets, baking cookies at Quebrada Belmont, or pricking her thumb needle felting. Coming up, she’ll be onstage and behind the scenes in Singing in the Rain at Hackmatack Playhouse. Her many thanks to the cast and crew. Enjoy the show!
-------------------------------------
Amelia Smith (Mistress, U/S Julie d'Aubigny) is so grateful to be performing with T@F for the fourth time in this particularly special and ambitious show! Other recent credits include A King and No King, None Escape (T@F), and Macbeth (Dream Role Players). Offstage, Amelia works as an engineer at a nuclear fusion company and will talk endlessly about magnets and plasma. Huge thanks to this incredible cast and crew, my favorite Julie (Emma), and my favorite Divas (Robert and the cats). So much love and gratitude to Peter.
----------------------------------------
Ari Herbstman (Dumesnil, Duke d'Orleans) has appeared in numerous Theatre@First productions over the years, most recently as Dr. Moreau (None Escape). In his spare time, he enjoys playing TTRPGs with friends, walking his silly dog, and playing melodramatic video games. He would like to thank his brilliant daughters and beloved wife for allowing and encouraging him to participate in this crazy hobby.
--------------------------------------
Caroline Aronoff (Fanchon Moureau, Lady, U/S Mistress) is thrilled to be making her T@F debut, returning to the stage after a nearly 10-year hiatus! Some previous roles she has performed include Kate Monster in Avenue Q, Yonah in Children of Eden, and she originated the role of Piston in the original production of Hack, Punt, Tool. She would like to send a huge thank you to the cast and crew for giving her the opportunity to get back on a stage and welcoming her so warmly.
