Brian
Weissman - Hysterium Brian had so much fun playing Hines in The Pajama Game that he couldn't pass up another opportunity for a Patio musical. He also appreciates the theater overlooking his past as an exotic dancer. For some, this would be a stigma, but Patio took a chance on him and he will always appreciate that. His children don't know about his past, so please don't let them read this. |

Bruce
Blackwell - Pseudolus Bruce is pleased to return to Patio Playhouse. He was previously seen in The Cocktail Party. He counts the role of Pseudolus among his other favorites, the voice of Audrey II in Little Shop of Horrors and Lovin’ Al in Working. While there have been many more challenging roles such as Ben in Death of a Salesman, none has been more rewarding than working with Jason Waller and David Pinson in The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged). He would like to thank the cast and crew of Forum for this experience and his wife Jill for the gift of his lovely daughter Emily Rose…and for letting him out of the house. |

Sean
Walker – Protean This marks Sean's third production with Patio Playhouse. Sean prefers to think of himself much more as an actor and less as a singer/dancer despite being in Orange Glen High's Opus 1 Show Choir, but despite his lean towards non-musical shows he's been in a number of musicals in and around the Escondido area. Hopefully not his last show with Patio by a long shot, he looks forward to auditioning for The Tempest in the Spring. Thanks for coming, and hope you enjoy the show. |
