Mid-Kentucky Arts

Adam is happy to be returning to the CKT stage, wondering when they'll get sick of him and tell him to buzz off. He has also been seen in performances at the Stephen Foster Story, The Hardin County PAC, and Kentucky Classic Arts. When not treading the boards, he is usually either selling his soul to the USPS or annoying his girlfriend whom he loves dearly.

Alyssa is thrilled to be back on the CKT stage for this show. She is a graduate of WKU (2011) where she received her BFA in Theatre. After a couple years in Los Angeles she landed back in Ky where she met her husband and as they say, the rest is history. She has so enjoyed getting back into theatre over the past few years and is delighted to be a part of this amazing cast and crew. She would like to dedicate this performance to her husband and 3 beautiful children for being so supportive and always believing in her. Thank you to all my family and friends for their love, support and babysitting as we put this show together.
