DOREEN COLEMAN – Ramona S. Key
Doreen of Kasson is finally realizing her secret dream role – that of a damsel in distress (of sorts). Doreen has been lucky enough in the past to be a homicidal gypsy in “A Schrek in the Night” and a well-dressed matriarch in “Dastardly Diamond of Destiny”, along with a few other minor melodramatic roles. In her spare time Doreen cultivates heirloom weeds and is still attempting to organize Minnesota’s first Olympic Jello-Carving team.
 
KANE KLINE – Ernest Kidd

Kane Kline of Byron is back In Mantorville for another melodrama. “It’s great being able to be back on stage and having fun and hopefully making people laugh.”
 
HANNAH OLSON – Katie Kidd (costumes)
Hannah is a senior at Kasson-Mantorville High School. She has been involved in Mantorville Theatre Company melodramas at the Opera House since sixth grade. Hannah has also been in 12 theater productions at Kasson-Mantorville Schools. She would like to thank her family and friends for always supporting her!
 
MOLLY BARTZ – Antoinette Castino

Molly Bartz is a senior at Kasson-Mantorville High School. Her parents knew she was destined for the stage after her breakout role as baby Jesus in the 2004 Christmas program at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Pine Island. Since then, Molly has strung together a series of K-M performances for six years. She's excited to debut with the Mantorville Theatre Company for this amazing show. She offers a shout out to her parents, Kyle and Jodie, for always supporting her.
 
BOB SOLAND – Arne Castino
Bob, a true Mantorvillian, is keen to play the dastardly Arne Castino. Bob has been involved in many theatre productions around the area in his career. In fact, he met his wife Jennifer at the Opera House and all of his three children have been on the Mantorville stage at various times.
 
ROB RONNENBERG – Mickey Monotonie
Rob returns to the stage in his fifth appearance for the Mantorville Theatre Company where he will bring his "strong and silent" talents to the show! Joining him, for the second time in the lights, is his daughter Rylie. When not performing he lives in Byron with his wife (Jennifer) and their family.
 
CATHERINE WILLIAMSON – Poppy Monotonie
Catherine of Pine Island is performing for the first time in a Mantorville melodrama. She has been a part of many productions at her high school, including the Genie in “Aladdin Jr”, Ladybug in “James and the Giant Peach”, Lucy in “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown”, and Ethel P Savage in “The Curious Savage”. She is majoring in nursing at the University of Northwestern St. Paul.
 
KCIN SIEGELE – Patch Watchacullum
Kcin of Kasson is excited to play Patch in Victoria Carlson’s “Something’s Afoul” on the Mantorville stage. He has played many roles with the Kasson-Mantorville Drama Department, such as The Bullfrog in “Honk!”, Dandy Dan in “Bugsy Malone Jr.” and others. He would like to thank his parents, his girlfriend, and his girlfriend’s dad (who is a local celebrity by the way.)
 
CHRIS KLINE – Freddie “Forever” Forgetooz
Chris Kline from Byron is back for another melodrama after a couple years off. “Happy to be back and hope everyone has a blast!”
 
SETH PETERSEN – Cupless Joe Noman
Seth, of Hayfield is currently enjoying his fourth production at the Opera House. This 17-year-old has played Willie in “A Schrek in the Night” and Arnulf in “Post-Apocalyptic Post Office”. When not onstage, Seth keeps busy taking care of two dogs, 24 fish, and his favorite pair of tennis shoes.
 
OLIVER WESTPHAL – Newsboy

This is Oliver (14) of Kasson’s first Mantorville melodrama but he has been in many productions with the Kasson-Mantorville drama department like, “I Hate Shakespeare” as a Zombie, “Honk” as Teen Billy and “Lion King Junior” as Zazu. He would like to thank his mother for being his primary care provider and being a great friend; and Kcin for being his friend and encouraging him to be in theater.

RYLIE RONNENBERG – Mute Ballplayer (stagehand, director’s assistant)
After being on hiatus for several years, Rylie has returned to the stage for her second melodrama with her father, Rob. In addition to a small roll in the play, Rylie has taken on the role of assistant to the director this time around. She is excited to be back!

NAN STRAUSS – Director
Nan has had the pleasure of many, many years with the Mantorville Theater Company as a comic character, often as a villainess (always a most delightful part), as a director and a playwright, but only once as a heroine! She doesn’t know too much about baseball so she trusted to Vicki’s writing and went by the motto “Direct it and they will come!”
 
MARY WELLNER – Pianist
Mary has been a pianist with the Mantorville Theatre since 1982.   She was fortunate to have studied the art of underplaying music for the melodramas with the MTC’s original musician, Robert Sorenson. She has played professionally in Rochester and the surrounding area for many years.
