Past shows have included, “The Man of La Mancha” (Aldonza/Dulcinea), “Wit,” “The Royal Family,” “Always Patsy Cline,” “And Then There We’re None,” and “Bonnie and Clyde.” Gail is thrilled to be making her debut at Artistic Synergy of Baltimore and is grateful for the support and camaraderie of this wonderful group.

Chloe is very excited to be performing in Artistic Synergy of Baltimore's "The Pirates of Penzance". He made his community theatre debut with ASOB in the fall of 2018 and has been performing locally in organizations all over Maryland ever since. When not on stage, they are busy running D&D campaigns, reading, serving on their union's board, and working at the library. Chloe thanks his fellow cast and crewmates, as well as their partner Cory and their family for all the support they have shown them. Break a leg, everyone!

Keira is so excited to be doing her first musical in almost ten years! She was recently seen at Artistic Synergy of Baltimore as the titular role of “The Importance of Being Earnest.” Keira has spent the last few years producing, directing, and stage managing local theatre, and in April will be welcoming her junior stage manager to the world with her amazing Pirate King husband Eliyahu Kheel. Enjoy the show!

Emily is so excited to be involved with her first production with ASOB! This is her first show since the birth of her daughter, and she is so happy to be back into the swing of performing! She has been involved in many Baltimore-area productions throughout the years. Some of her favorite roles include: Wednesday Addams in “The Addams Family,” Glory and Shelly in “Almost, Maine,” Mrs. Luce in “Little Shop of Horrors,” and Vera Claythorne in Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None.” She would like to thank her family and friends for always supporting her passions, her husband, Alex for loving her and being her biggest cheerleader in everything, her daughter Rowan for choosing her to be her mommy, and her fellow cast and crew for working so hard and being so awesome! (Extra love to Brooke for being the best aunt and stage manager there is!)

Margaret is thrilled to work with ASOB for the first time. She has been in numerous musicals including Matilda, Grease, Lion King, Annie, Mary Poppins and two short films. She is in seventh grade at Calvert School. She enjoys taking drum and voice lessons at Baltimore School of Music and is in the Acting program of the TWIGS program with Baltimore for the Arts. Thank you, cast and crew.
