Meet the Cast
Christine Blakeley as Oh Mystical Sylvia
Christine has been with the InPlayers for many years. Working both on and off stage.
Diego Best as Count Pedigree Romaine Sauerbraten Goulash Ptomaine III
Diego Best is an actor from Curaçao. He feels most at ease on stage and in the water. He thinks if he has to fail at something, he'd rather do so with an audience. His most recent credits are Theresa Rebeck's Seminar and John Patrick Shanley's Where's My Money?. You can probably find him in a forest or on a water somewhere, or right here, after the play. Talk to him about nerdy shit and acting. He hopes your year is off to a good start and you're doing well.
Ken Kitchen as Schenectady
Ken Kitchen has been a long time InPlayers member and has been in numerous productions. His social worker says it’s good for him.
Sean Olson-Roy as Plankton
Sean grew up in a musical theatre household and, much to the chagrin of his neighbours, has never stopped singing. After a brief 30 year hiatus from the stage to work in logistics in the US and Luxembourg, he retired in 2019 and moved with his family to Amsterdam. He found the English language theatre community in 2020 and this is his fourth production in Amsterdam. Fun fact: Sean often gets mistaken for King Willem-Alexander by drunk people on Koningsdag.
Sherilyn Caudle as Tiffani
Sherilyn has been expressing her love for performance for over 20 years. She has been involved in both amateur and professional productions all over the world. Sherilyn earned her Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Arts from Texas Tech University, and has been involved with the InPlayers since arriving in the Netherlands 8 years ago. Some of her most notable roles have included Emily in Our Town, Claire in Proof, Dorothy (understudy) in The Wizard of Oz, Henrietta Bamberg in Nymph Errant, Lucinda in Into the Woods, and Judge Koch in Noir Suspicions.
Sophia Frayle as Ginger Snap
From Mexico, now calling the Netherlands home for the past 9 years, with a lifelong passion for musical theatre and singing, Sophia has been on the stage in several professional productions back at home. In the Netherlands she has portrayed a range of characters from the endearing Cinderella in Disenchanted to Crystal in Little Shop of Horrors, the edgy Mitch Mahoney on Spelling Bee and most recently Wednesday Addams in the Cauldron’s Addams Family. During her day to day, she works for Formula E as an AI Engineer.
Sue Greene as Chattel Von Cash
Sue hails originally from Ireland where there was no shortage of inspiration and encouragement for her first steps on stage. She’s been hooked ever since and feels lucky to have been involved in many productions in Ireland, the Netherlands and Belgium. Over the years, she’s enjoyed performing a broad range of characters in a variety of genres, from thrillers and drama to comedy to more serious stuff. While playing a guy in her last two roles she discovered that she LOVES physical theatre and crossdressing. She’s considering growing a moustache.
