Director
Jerry Cox
Jerry is thrilled to make his stage directorial debut with Things Unseen Theatre and Nell Gwynn. He is often found backstage, having recently stage managed The Addams Family and Miracle on 34th Street for ACT during their last season, and running sound design and a plethora of other roles for The Great Gatsby as well. Jerry cut his teeth directing a streaming version of Ray Bradbury's Kaleidoscope for ACT mid-Pandemic in 2020, and has most recently appeared on stage as John Mackey in Things Unseen's production of Veronica's Room. Jerry would like to thank the cast and the crew for making this process as fun and painless as possible, particularly his partner and stage manager Becky, who he's constantly amazed still puts up with him.

Stage Manager
Becky Robinson
Becky Robinson is excited to be back behind the scenes with Nell Gwynn after a short break from theatre. Becky can typically be found back stage, and has sat in the Stage Manager chair for such shows as ACT’s The 39 Steps, and The Great Gatsby, Things Unseen’s Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo, and Tiny Beautiful Things, and Cresson Lake Playhouses’ Exit the King. She will also on occasion appear on stage, most recently in ACT’s virtual production of Kaleidoscope. When not perusing her love of theatre Becky enjoys swimming, trips to Disney World, napping with her pets, and time spent among her “cult”. Becky would like to thank her partner and Director of Nell Gwynn Jerry for allowing her to help bring one of her favorite historical figures to life, her Assistant Stage Manager Zack for always having her back no matter what, her partner in crime Jenelle for being Jenelle, and her mother Christina for putting up with her nonsense.

Costumes
Julie Piotti Hollows
Julie Piotti, from Altoona has been a costume designer for over 40 years.

She teaches AP and Honors Art History, Costume/Fashion Design and various other mediums at The Grier School. She has also done custom design work for private individuals through the years.
