This is Brians first time behind the scenes as an Assistant Director for Sweeney Todd. Since returning to the South Central PA area in 2016, he has performed with multiple theatrical organizations and attempts to learn something new in every production he’s been apart of. Now during this production, he aims to share what he knows to a very new experience and continue to grow from there. This is the 2nd production at LTM he has done, the first being Rent in 2011. Since his transformative time at LTM, he has been seen on the stage in a number of roles including Tom Collins (RENT; Bare Bones Theatre Ensemble), Wayne Hopkins (PUFFS; Keystone Theatrics), Lord Farquaad (SHREK; Twin Valley Players), and Mungojerrie (CATS; Susquehanna Stage). Brian would like to thank LTM and the board for giving him the opportunity to express himself through theatre; Tom, Bethany, Bethany, Marley, and Steven for aiming him in the right direction; and his friends, family, and everyone out there for their love, inspiration, and supporting the arts all across Pennsylvania.

Bethany brings over 20 years of experience both on and off the stage, along with a deep love for music and storytelling. She has studied voice privately for more than two decades and spent three years competing with NATS in both Classical and Musical Theatre. Bethany currently serves as a lead vocalist in her church worship team and choir, and co-leads a summer musical theatre camp for youth. She is also the choreographer for Susquehanna Middle School and The Musical Box Theatre in Red Lion, PA. She is especially passionate about creating a welcoming, encouraging environment where performers of all ages feel confident exploring their creativity and love of theatre.

Ryan absolutely loved working on Sweeney Todd as Assistant Music Director! Previously he had similar roles at the Musical Box Theater for A Year with Frog and Toad and School of Rock. He has also been on stage, back stage, and even in the pit orchestra for various other shows at several other local theaters — a few favorite shows being Avenue Q, In the Heights, and The Trail to Oregon!
