August 10-13. One weekend only!! www.factplayers.org
Molly Shlaak (Orchestra Operator) is very excited to be running the tracks in her first experience with FACT! You may have heard her rocking the keyboard and leading the pit a couple weekends ago for Riverside Players’ All Shook Up, where she also music directed! She enjoys being on the stage as well, and other past favorite roles include: Julia in “The Wedding Singer,” Marian Paroo in “The Music Man”, Betty-Jean in "The Marvelous Wonderettes", and Adelaide in "Guys and Dolls". By day she is an elementary music teacher, (though not by these lovely summer days!). She’d like to dedicate these shows to her grandma who passed away in June, who supported her in all of her creative endeavors. She hopes you enjoy the show, for “happiness is those who sing with you!”

This is Christopher's first performance with FACT and it's been a joy being welcomed in with open arms. The creative and performance staff for this show are so perfectly put together that Christopher is ecstatic to join the show as "Schroeder." He's done many shows in the area over the last 5 years. A few highlights include "The Producers" with Oshkosh Community Players, "The Play That Goes Wrong" with Stage 1017 and most recently "Dream Role 9" with UW Fox Cities. He hopes you enjoy this amazing cast and crew's performance of a Peanuts classic!
