A graduate of Baldwin-Wallace College, Sarah Lynne has a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre with a focus in Arts Management. She has worked as a theatre artist across Northeast Ohio, having previously worked with Cleveland Public Theatre, Dobama Theatre, Blank Canvas Theatre, The Musical Theater Project, the Academy for the Performing Arts, MAD* Factory Theatre Co, Cassidy Theatre, Mighty Goliath Productions and many more. She couldn’t be happier to be working with The Brecksville Theatre! Recently, Sarah Lynne has been bringing a long-time dream to life; she and her partner/husband Doug have co-founded Theatre Agápe, an inclusive community of theatre artists devoted to putting our service where our art is. When not in the theatre (and sometimes in the theatre) Sarah Lynne spends her time with her children Desmond, Taso, Georgie and Matilda.

Laurie Gartman is honored to share the stage with five of Cleveland’s most outstanding performers. She is genuinely starstruck by the talent in and around this production of Beehive. Typically working behind the scenes on costumes (Crazy for You, Rudolph 2022, The Sound of Music 2021, A Streetcar Named Desire, Ivy & Bean 2019), Laurie just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to be a part of this cast or crew so she decided to do both! She wants to thank to the Brecksville Theatre for allowing her to pursue two of her passions at once, and is ever grateful to her husband and sons for their love, support, and patience as she tackled this ambitious and meaningful endeavor.

Evelyn is a Brecksville Theatre board member and has been a backstage ninja and prop collector since the onset of the theatre in 2017. She has had many roles in theatre. She ushers, sells snacks, and she has painted sets.Evelyn has worked backstage and onstage (but only when the lights are out) moving props during scene changes. She collects props but sometimes she makes the most realistic props, such as our cheeseburgers! When you see the parties onstage you can bet she's up to her elbows in soap suds after the performance. Enjoy the show!

Meridyth would like to thank Sarah Lynn for trusting her enough with this show. Her best friends for answering every silly question she has. Her Aunt Laura for fostering a young girls love of theater. Her mom for letting her do crazy things and supporting her the whole way. Finally her dad, I am who I am because of you. Enjoy the show!
