Chris was born in Michigan, a long time ago. He moved to Peru, IN via California fifteen years ago. He started Rooker Enterprises, Inc. ten years ago, which has evolved into a custom cabinet and countertop shop for commercial and residential clients. That takes up most of his time! In his minimal free time, he has been training for his Private Pilot Certification which he will hopefully have completed by the time you may read this. This is Chris’s first time on stage!

Cage is excited to play the part of George, the flamboyant keyboardist (and tambourine player) of Simply Wed. Cage has been involved in theatre since middle school and has performed in Ole Olsen shows such as “Little Women”, “Scrooged Up!”, and “The End”.

Kim is delighted to make her Ole Olsen debut. Off stage, Kim can be found working out in her basement, making goofy videos for IG stories, or traveling with Mr. Bickel. If none of those things are going on, you might find her shouting incorrect answers at the TV while watching Jeopardy!

Billi Jean has resided in Peru for the last 26 years. She has been an avid supporter of the community and sees the best in the small town she lives in. Her upbeat personality and love for music and dancing inspired her to take the leap and join the cast of The Wedding Singer The Musical.

Hannah grew up in Peru, IN surrounded by a talented and musical family. With the influence of her father, Mark Olson. She started performing in Ole Olsen productions in high school. After high school, she got her Bachelor’s Degree in vocal and general music education, then taught/directed heavily competitive show choirs and choirs at Anderson High School. Hannah’s main goal since moving back home has been to be more involved in the arts and music. Though she is no longer teaching, her passion continues to influence every decision she makes. It’s been nearly a decade since she last performed in an Ole production and she is super excited to be back in this hometown stage. In her free time, she focuses on training for the Indy Mini Marathon as well as loving on her French Bulldogs named Boris and Betty as well as her many cats; Schubert, Norma, Darla, and Bill.
