Two years ago, at High Springs Playhouse, Chuck took on a Russian accent to play Boris Kolenkhov in You Can’t Take It With You. Last year it was a French accent to play Hercule Poirot in Murder on the Orient Express. This year it’s a Spanish accent to play Manolo. 2024 was a very intense year, theater-wise for Chuck, as, besides Murder, he performed in his first musical as Simeon in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at Gainesville Community Playhouse and saw a pair of readings of his own play, Stand By To Assist, at the Waterworks festival in Charlottesville, VA. He’s looking to see where 2025 goes.

Tyson is estoy muy emocionado - or rather, very excited to be part of this terrific production. He has been part of several shows here at HSP, including The Fantasticks, Lost in Yonkers, The Boys Next Door, and Sorry Wrong Chimney to name a few. Tyson sings in a barbershop quartet with the Gainesville Barbergators also! He hopes this show is as much fun for you as it is for him to be part of the cast!
