Doug Owen

Diana received her degree from the American Academy of dramatic Arts in New York City. She continued to study and work in NY for several years. She is a founding member of the Shadowland Theatre in Ellenville, NY. She thanks her husband, Emmett and children, Alex and Elizabeth for their unwavering love and support. This is her NW directorial debut.

Yes, Dick was in the Theater Program at Monroe State Penitentiary before he joined The Magical Mystery Troupe, and it made him in the moment. He is a funny guy, he is kidding but would like to make people think that he was locked up (at the very least, institutionalized) before joining the troupe. He also attended Monroe High School where he did not go to his Prom. Because like Vinnie, he dropped out before the prom...

Doug has been making people laugh since grade school. He’s been a stand up comedian throughout the Northwest and with the Troupe since the beginning. After his memorable performances as the stylish Vincenzo in the troupe’s production of I Now Pronounce you…Dead, it’s only fitting that he breathes life into Tony Alto. He was also seen in a dual role as Tony Alto and Bernie Broadhurst in "Bullets for Broadway". And recently as Granite Hardpeice in "Murder on the Spaghetti Trail". He's making his directorial debut in the troupe's most recent production of "Mountain Moonshine Mystery".

Emmett is a fairly recent transplant from the East Coast, where he was a member of the Protean Theater of Hartford, Helmet Theater and The Horseradish Factory (Rochester, NY). His video/film credits include Rotten Eggs, Rogues, and A Strange Little Box.

Gavin has been seen as the Wolf Dude in Kamaikin’s production of “Little Red Life in the Hood” and as Captain Hook in Studio East’s production of “Peter Pan” and Charbonneau in Juanita’s production of “Lewis and Clark”. He’s been seen as Hercules in “Hercules”. He also starred as Eli Blaine in the troupe’s previous production of “Bullets for Broadway". His film credits include a special appearance in “The System Wurks”. His most recent role with the troupe as Zeke Crump in "Mountain Moonshine Mystery".

Hillary has been acting in Seattle since college. If she’s not riding her motorcycle, she’s singing or acting and thoroughly enjoyed her role as Patti Peccorino in the troupe’s last production of I Now Pronounce you…Dead. Hillary has played the role of Dr. Malaise in "The Altos....like the Sopranos only lower" and as Agent Abigail Mulder in "Bullets for Broadway" and as Candy in the troupe's productions of "Murder on the Spaghetti Trail".

Jeanne is one of the founding members of the troupe and has been seen in previous performances in “I Now Pronounce you…Dead" in the roles of Paula Starlowski, Patti Schmeterlink and her 1st cross dressing endeavor as Pietre Schmeterlink. She played Kate Tyler in the troupe’s production of “Murder on the Spaghetti Trail”. She most recently starred as Queen Frederica Mercury in the troupe's "Marry me Medieval". She loves being on the stage but enjoys being behind the scenes as well.

Jennifer... whether in drama class, musicals, or in the drama of life...has been performing all her life. Lots of character and passion...never a dull moment with her. Jennifer is channeling her talent and is new to live theater and performing in the Seattle area.

Joelle Montague

Joelle brings her talent and guts to the troupe, and the blood of her first born. She’s performed shows in Seattle, Woodinville, Renton, Issaquah, Foster City and San Jose. She was a regular extra on the hit TV series Northern Exposure. Dreams do come true. Having a theatrical troupe that is working all the time (and having an amazing time doing it)!

Lisa Spoelstra

Lisa (Veronica) is very excited to have Killing Mr. Withers as her first performance with Magical Mystery Troupe. Lisa has been involved with productions at the Northwest Savoyards, recently performing in The Wizard of Oz, Guys and Dolls, H.M.S. Pinafore, and Trial By Jury.

My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.”

Merilee Jo McClure

Merilee has a huge passion for being on stage. She was last seen doing stand-up comedy at Giggles and The Underground Comedy Club. If you look at her hard enough she just might make you smile.

Mia is a New York trained actress with many credits to her name. Great comic timing and attitude make her perfect for her role as “Teresa Peccorino the troupe's last production of I Now Pronounce you…Dead”, she is delighted to make her come back with the troupe. Mia is proud to add Toffee Alto to her list of favorite characters. She is delighted to pay tribute to her Italian-American roots.

Karen has worked as a singer and actor in Seattle’s professional and semi-pro theaters since 1981. Of this huge body of work (oh my God am I really that old?) she includes playing the one-and-only Rhoda Moskowitz on her personal list of most satisfying life experiences. (Who wouldn't give their kishkes to channel Fran Drescher???) "Casey" has her own fledgling business Angelvocals, a music ministry combining the use of sacred vocals, rhythms and instrumentals to heal. She is a featured singer on the New Thought church circuit, and also a founding member of popular vocal group Mo' Coffee.
