\bio{Thomas~Andrews}{}{Wilfred Shadbolt} is somewhat concerned that
he keeps being cast as unpleasant persons.  He is known for his sweet
and even temperament.  You might have seen him playing Pooh-Bah in
{\it Mikado} or Dick Deadeye in {\it HMS Pinafore}.

\bio{Jeffrey Bellin}{}{Music Director} While Jeffrey daylights for Dow Jones
in the Wall Street Journal offices, he comes out of his corporate
cocoon to revel in his professional career interests of acting and
playing music.  In addition to his background as a violist and his
current work as the Music Director, Jeffrey is also studying improv
with Boston's leading troupe, Improv Boston.  Previous credits include
{\it A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum} and \$30 worth
of merchandise at T. J. Maxx.

\bio{Gillian P. Bidgood}{W'|93|}{Helen Smith, Citizen} After serving time on
the Executive Committee, Jill is happy to have snatched her first
singing appearance with the \gsp{}.

\bio{Felicia Brady}{(C)}{Kate Carruthers} Contrary to numerous rumors, Felicia
is {\it not} Cindy's illegitimate younger sister sold to the black
market.  For some unknown, possibly masochistic, reason, she has
chosen to get her theatrical feet wet for the first time doing \gs.
In real life, she is a pianist.  In fact, if you are considering
taking private lessons, call her at 864-4104.

\bio{Ginny Briggs}{}{Elsie Maynard} has played soprano roles in other \gs{}
shows including {\it Iolanthe}, {\it Patience}, and most recently as
Josephine in {\it HMS Pinafore} with the Concord Players.  She has
performed with various community theatres in {\it Dames At Sea}, {\it
Fiddler on the Roof} and the title role in {\it Gigi}.  She'd like to
say she misses the Kahlua Hawaiian and Flap-ball-changes with her
``travelling'' group.

\bio{Mike Bromberg}{'|70|}{Lighting Designer} is in Lighting Heaven.  After
five shows in 54-100, he appreciates twice the light for half the
price, not to mention a lock on the door.  When not lighting \gs{}, he
climbs mountains, plays the piano, and draws maps.

\bio{Thomas Burhoe Chadwick, Jr.}{'|93|}{Colonel Fairfax} Although this is his
first role with \gsp{}, Thomas is no stranger to the stage.  For the
past seven years, Thomas has worked with, quite frankly, POoP (Popular
Opera of Pittsfield---A little-known company from his hometown in
Maine), where he has had the opportunity to rub elbows with performers
from New York G$\!${\it\&}SP.  After playing a
bearded, blind pirate, and a space-age apeman, he is relieved to find
this role requires additional face hair for only one scene.

\bio{Richard Davis}{'|94|}{Dick Smith, Citizen} This show is his second at
MIT, the first being this past summer's performance of Sweeney Todd by
MTG where he appeared as Pirelli.  In other activities, he heads the
MIT chapter of the Flat Earth Society, and his highest aspiration is
to become a class 5 free roaming vapor.  He is also in course 6.
AAAAAH!

\bio{Alan deLespinasse}{'|94|}{Patrick\break Ernest Walker, Jr., Citizen}
Are you bored out of your cranium? Sick of listening to mice
philosophizing on the radio? Tired of reading in circles? Come to the
only really happening place in town---in fact, in this entire
multidimensional chromosome!  It's The Furniture Department! With
disgustingly live shows and highly chemically reactive food nearly
every night! Tonight, due to poor organization, the Paranoid Gerbils
will not be appearing as previously announced. Instead, we present a
medieval cyclic play with an unbroadcastable title! Come and have a
bouncy rubber sphere wasting your money and intoxicating your mind!
Remember, The Furniture Department is a Fun Place!  [Stupid
commercial theme.]

\bio{John Fesenko}{(G)}{Jonathan\break Farmer, Yeoman} is a masochistic
graduate student (forgive the redundancy) who, determined to snuff out
of existence any scant free time which he still had, joined this group
two weeks into rehearsals, ensuring a month chock full of glassy-eyed
all-nighters and unresolved existential dilemmas.  In fact, the
experience has been so satisfying in this regard that he will no doubt
appear again and again over the course of his five-year hiatus at MIT.

\bio{Mary A. Finn}{'|81|}{Costume Designer; Margaret Brewster, Citizen} looked
at us with anguished eyes and whimpered, ``But it's {\it hard} to write a
bio when you haven't got a life!''

\bio{Erik D. Harder}{(C)}{Sergeant Meryll} This is Erik's first \gs{}
appearance since his debut in a fourth-grade production of {\it H.M.S.
Pinafore} nearly two decades ago.  He hopes it won't be quite as long
'till the next one.  By day, Erik pretends to work with computers at the
Whitehead Institute.  By night, he dozes through linguistics classes
at Harvard.

\bio{Zoot F. Harrison}{(C)}{Jack Point} ``Zoot, Zoot, Zoot,'' said a
friend of mine, ``Why do you do theater?''  Zoot would like to thank
Luiz, El Gallo, Florian, Pish Tush, Rusty Charlie, Colonel Calverly,
Sir Roderick, Sir Marmaduke Poindexter, Lord Mountararat, Captain
Corcoran, Ko-Ko, and Judge Turpin: dudes Zoot has known.  As Dave's
alter-ego, Zoot continues to ruin his weal-crafted, linear,
goal-oriented career plans by being silly.

\bio{Derek Herrera}{'|92|}{Leonard\break Meryll; The Headsman} will someday rule the
entire universe!!! Nothing shall stand in his way of total, complete
domination of all forms of life!!! Succumb all to the might of
plaid!!! {\it HA HA HA HA!!!!}\/ (Note: Coca-Cola is very, very bad
for your mental stability).

\bio{Michael Hoch}{'|90|}{Lieutenant, Sir Richard Cholmondely} In
his farewell performance in the Boston area, Michael enjoys actually
speaking on stage and fears an inexcusable lack of \gs{} in Farmtown,
Maryland, U.S.A.

\bio{Andrea Humez}{}{Sophie, Citizen} Still the youngest member of the cast,
(she'll be in college next year.  Really!), Andrea defies typecasting
by playing her third fifteen-year-old chorister.  She is still not
quite sure what she's doing here, but if her name appears in the
program next year, it will mean there must have been some reason.  She
is also not sure why she is singing soprano.

\bio{Kevin Iga}{'|92|}{James Nasium (Citizen); Programme} As a member of too
many student organizations, Kevin wonders why he is singing in this
show.  He also wonders why he is singing tenor in this show.  But,
then again, he also wonders why $H^p_{de R}(M) \cong {}_\infty
H_p(M;\Re)^*$, so the fact that he's double majoring is not at all
disturbing to him.  He would like to remind those reading this in the
first weekend performance to give blood at the Red Cross TCA blood
drive in Kresge Lobby, and to vote at the APO ``Ugliest Man On
Campus'' competition charity fundraiser in Lobby 10.

\bio{Frank Jones}{(C)}{George Robertson, Yeoman; Master Carpenter;
Assistant Producer} has appeared as chorus member in one other \gsp{}
show called {\it Crimes against Japanese Culture}, or {\it The
Mikado}.  He is functioning as Jack-of-all-trades in this production:
Yeoman, Master Carpenter, and Assistant Producer.  In real life, he is
a bookbinder working for MIT and a student at Longy School studying
early Double Reeds.

\bio{Kathleen Keegan}{}{Phoebe Meryll} {\it Yeoman} is Kathy's second
production with \gsp{}.  Last spring she played a singing schoolgirl
in {\it the Mikado}.  Kathy enjoys acting, singing and improv and
would love to make a career of all three, yet there are those who
remain convinced that she should pursue her lifelong dream to sell
Tupperware${}^{TM}$.

\bio{Deborah Kreuze}{'|91|}{Dame Carruthers, Assistant Director} would
like those members of the audience who care to to ponder briefly the
reality of the institutionalized torture and killing upon which this
show is based, and then to ask themselves why Gilbert would choose to
have an unmarried, middle-aged woman sing the song extolling the
virtues of such violence.  (25 points; partial credit will be given.)

\bio{Adam Lindsay}{'|94|}{Andrew Stewart, 1st Yeoman}
has been plum tickled to appear in his seventh show here at Tufts as
Julie Jordan. This is the least ditzy soprano he's played to date, and
he really enjoyed being a mother on stage. All in all, this show has
been a {\it ``real nice clambake''}. He'd like to give everyone in the
cast, crew, and orchestra a big wet smooch and a hug, and remind them
that {\it ``You'll never walk alone...''}

\bio{Karen Mueller}{(C)}{Stage Director} directed this spring's \gsp{}
production of {\it Mikado}, and has also served with the group as Tech
Director, Set Designer, Set Crew, and Rapturous Maiden.  She has
directed \gs{} at Oberlin College, worked as ASM at the New Rep
Theatre, and been involved in various other theatrical endeavors for
13 years.  By day, she devotes herself to Excellence in Public Service
at MIT's Rotch Library.

\bio{Joan Shear}{}{Choreographer}\break ``Smiley the Choreographer'' also
choreographed the 1983 Harvard Law School Show, ``North by North
Middle,'' as well as many dances for her sister and herself when they
were children.  More recently she frequently teaches folk dances at
the MIT Folk Dance Club.

\bio{Matt Sikorski}{(C)}{Scenic Artist, a.k.a. Set Designer} designed
the set for \gsp's {\it The Mikado} and would like to reside somewhere
between the pure gesture and the expressive form.

\bio{CarolYN Jean Smith}{'|87|}{Sarah the Barmaid, Citizen} has been a part of this
organization since its inception in 1988, and after performing in
eight shows (seven as soprano chorus, one as court musician),
producing five shows, house managing one show and being on ExecComm
for two years she is very happy to be doing chorus and costumes,
period.  And she's very glad that her hair is no longer green.

\bio{Mr. Spoon}{}{Jack's Bauble} This is Mr. Spoon's first public
performance.  He joins the \gsp{} after a successful career baking
cookies (where he made a lot of dough).  Originally just a rehearsal
prop, he decided to get into the limelight by imitating his hero,
Milton Berle, who also dressed up in women's underwear.

\bio{J.B.  Sweeney}{(C)}{Jane Alexaneder, Citizen; Publicity}
 is often found playing guitar and singing folk songs around 
campfires, though her secret passion is playing drum set with rock 
bands. (It's not such a secret anymore...) This is J.B.'s first 
experience singing music that wasn't written during this century, and 
she could see herself making a habit of it. Rapture! Rapture!

\bio{{\cyr Yanko Xe}\u{\cyr i}{\cyr retov} (Yanko Sheiretov)}{'|92|}
{Jean-Claude Manier, $2.5^{th}$ Yeoman} If all goes well, this is
Yanko's last appearance in \gsp{} as an MIT undergraduate.  He was
previously seen in {\it Sorcerer}, {\it Iolanthe}, {\it Pinafore}, and
{\it Mikado}.  Being a senior now with a workload of only two classes
and a thesis, he is happy that schoolwork can no longer impede his
brilliant musical theatre career.  He has strong faith in the Second
Law of Thermodynamics.

\bio{Laura White}{}{Producer; Properties Manager; Co-Publicity Manager;
Counsellor; Occasional Vocal Coach; \gsp{} member and frequent leading
player since 1988} I see clearly and with joy what I have become and
what I will be.  Therefore, I must leave this company.  Good-bye,
\gsp{}.  Thank you for everything.
