Jim, Investigator, Others (Faith Davidson)
Eagle Theatre Bio-- The Internet is Distract- (Oh Look a Kitten) The Most Interesting/Challenging Thing About the Show-- The most challenging thing I have to do is acting like I'm in pain while still having a coherent conversation. Why Come and See the Play? The Railway Children has an interesting plot, with a lot of trains in it.
Mr. Perks (Jacob (Nyx) Dembowski)

Old Gentleman (Lance Devine)
Eagle Theatre Bio-- Build crew for Newsies & Clue On Stage, stage crew for Rock of Ages, played a number of roles in Puffs, including J Finch Fletchly, 2nd headmaster, and Potions Master, played Algernon Moncrreff in The Importance of being Earnest (in 20 minutes). The Most Interesting/Challenging Thing About this Play-- The most difficult part is acting much older than i am as well as being much more formal than i'm used to. Why Come and See the Play-- To see a different perspective on how those in different times and cultures lived.
Constable, District Superintendent and Others (Marni Fullington)
Eagle Theatre Bio-- Game of Tiaras The Most Interesting/Challenging Thing About the Play-- I think accents have been the most difficult, and frankly, funny part of rehearsals for Railway Children so far. Additionally, I think the time period adds lots of personality and challenges :) Why Come and See the Play? I think The Railway children is a show about community which is something we've all grown to value over the pandemic. A cast of people who've been away from theatre for a year are now coming together to share a cool story that showcases the importance of hope and friends.
Father/Doctor (Evan Heredia)
Eagle Theatre Bio-- I have played Brandon in Check Please! Les in Newsies, Franz in Rock of ages, Wayne in Puffs (canceled due to Covid), French Prince in Game of Tiaras and now Father & Doctor in Railway Children. The Most Interesting/Challenging Thing About the Play-- I would think it would be the accents, but I think so far it has been making my presence appear older in front of those taller than me. Why Come and See the Play-- It's a great story following the adventures of three children that move to a unfamiliar place, exploring the railway and standing by each other as their life changes before they even know it.
Bobby (Amanada McLaughlan)
Eagle Theatre Bio-- Game of Tiaras The Most Interesting/Challenging Thing About the Play-- I think the most interesting thing about the play is having to learn an accent and a new language. The best thing is to be back in the theatre after being in quarantine and staying home for a year. Why Come and See the Play? I think you should come see The Railway Children to enjoy the wild adventures of Peter, Bobby, and Phyllis playing by the railway.
Mrs. Viney (Jaycee Nelson)
Eagle Theatre Bio-- Newsies, Rock of Ages, Game of Tiaras!. The Most Interesting/Challenging Thing About the Play-- I think the most interesting thing is the costumes, since the show is set in 1905. Why Come and See the Play? People should come see The Railway Children because it's the first production the Eagle Theatre has had since quarantine.
Between Maid, Child and Others (Shayne Sayre)
Eagle Theatre Bio-- Debut The Most Interesting/Challenging Thing About the Play-- Using a British accent is probably the most interesting and challenging thing I'll have to do but its fun trying to imitate it and doing it correctly. Why Come and See the Play-- It's a relatable play about finding a community and being with the people you love through tough times. It really shows the way people can connect and find a home in a new place during tough times.
Mrs. Perks, Others (Ruby Van Rhyn)
Eagle Theatre Bio-- Clue, Check Please, Newsies, ROA, Puffs, Scenes from a Quarantine, Game of Tiaras. The Most Interesting/Challenging Thing About the Play-- Doing a show about a railway indoors Why Come and See the Play-- You'll get to watch a bunch of high-schoolers trying to do British accents for over an hour.
Mr. Schepansky, Butler, Others (Cameron Velasquez)
Eagle Theatre Bio-- Debut The Most Interesting/Challenging Thing About the Play-- I think that the most challenging thing about the play for me personally is having to learn a little bit of Russian and French. The most interesting thing about this play for me is probably how each of the characters "evolve" during the story. Why Come and See the Play? The Railway Children because the story is very enjoyable.
Phyllis (Daalen Yosef)
Eagle Theatre Bio-- Mom in The Internet is Distract- Oh Look A Kitten AND Snow White/French Soldier in Game of Tiaras The Most Interesting/Challenging Part of the Play-- The most challenging thing is trying to act and convey emotions with a mask on. The best part about this play is that the company is very comfortable with each other. Why Come and See the Play-- People should come see The Railway Children because it is the first live performance in Granite Hills Theatre since COVID-19 hit. Although we have to act like a family on stage, we genuinely feel like one. The show will be authentic, heart-warming, and a little more than a tad bit comedic. :)
