Lauren is excited to make her Black Swamp Players debut as director for "The Spitfire Grill." Lauren has directed several plays for both Children's Theatre Workshop and BGSU Elsewhere and is thrilled to direct a musical for the first time. She would like to thank the cast and crew for their amazing work. Thank you all for coming and I hope you enjoy the show.

Joelle Stiles is so glad to be back with BSP! She has been on the production side of things for a few years now with shows such as The Drowsy Chaperone with BSP as choreographer, Godspell with Waterville Playshop as music director, and Legally Blonde with 3B Productions as assistant music director. Joelle also adores being on the stage. A few of her favorite roles include Ariel in The Little Mermaid with 3B Productions (...twice), Cecily in New York, 1965 with Ridge Street Players, and Edwin Drood in The Mystery of Edwin Drood with Summerstock Toledo. Joelle is a proud graduate of BGSU with a degree in Music Education. When she’s not at rehearsal, Joelle loves to play with her cat Leo, sing jazz with her wonderful fiancé Quentin, and play the Sims 4. Joelle would also like to thank her fabulous cast for singing so pretty throughout this entire process and letting her geek out at the many wonderful harmonies!!
