Jalyn Green (Jack Brennan) has been seen in numerous productions at SSR and around the south sound. He is a proud democrat that always votes for the candidate who he believes is the most respectful. His candidate did not win in 2016 and he’s been pretty unhappy with the results so far.

Doug Fahl (David Frost) is thrilled to return to SSR, having previously worked on Bye, Bye Birdie!, Chess, Little Shop of Horrors and A Little Night Music. Additionally, he directed last year’s production of A Christmas Carol. You may have seen him at various theaters around Puget Sound including Village Theatre, Seattle Musical Theatre, ArtsWest, Theatre 22 and Harlequin Productions. When not on stage, Doug produces actor-related videos for his YouTube Channel Augmented Actor. Doug looks forward to directing SSR’s 80’s rock musical, Starmites, at the end of this season. Thanks to Rick and the Squolf for this amazing opportunity.

Carissa Meisner Smit (Caroline Cushing) Although her most recent work has been as a director and/or choreographer, Carissa has trod the boards a time or two. Favorite roles include Velma in Chicago (SecondStory Rep); Rose in Enchanted April (Adagio Players) and Thelma in Lark Eden (Edmonds Driftwood Players). She is also one half of the musical duo Skid Rogues, appearing at a winery near you.

Danny Miller (John Birt) is very much enjoying being back on stage again, having last directed Proof a year ago. He has been seen on and off the stage here since season 4. Danny also serves on the Board of Directors and is very proud that SSR is now in its 21st season!

Patrick Kevin (Nixon) This is my 3rd production at SSR and WOW what a challenging role and a timely show!

Terry has also bounced around Theater Schmeater, Open Circle, Bellevue Civic, Parley, Phoenix Theatre, Annex and Spokane Interplayers. Don’t miss Terry in July of 2020 (better get a pencil) in Ancestral Voices at Woodinville Rep. Thanks to the crew for all their hard work.

David Bailey (Jim Reston) is thrilled to be back at SSR for his fifth show ... if you don't recognize him, you need to get to more of the 'Theater for Young Audiences' shows! This show marks his second mainstage production, last seen, past sunset, in 2017's, "A Christmas Carol", when he portrayed: a Solicitor/Marley/Fezziwig and the Ghost From Christmas Present. "Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it."

Apostolos Gliarmis (Bob Zelnick) is happy to be back on stage after a small hiatus. You may recognize him from Driftwoods production of Fahrenheit 451 as Captain Beatty.

Jen Chenovick (Light Design) Jen's theatrical career began in 2002 when she was asked to assistant stage manage The Importance of Being Ernest right here at SSR. Following her passion for theater Jen moved to Hollywood in 2005 where she stage managed for The Blank Theatre including the oddly satisfying Lobster Alice starring Noah Wylie and Nicholas Brendon. While in California, she also worked with Syzygy Theatre Group and the World Premiere of Tender, Abi Morgan’s trenchant drama of the human hunger for connection. Jen moved back to Redmond in 2007 and jumped right back into her work with SSR. During her eighteen plus years at SSR Jen has worn many hats, from stage manager to production manager to managing director and now light design. Special thanks to my parents, they’re pretty cool.

Mark Chenovick (Set Design/Technical Director) has been designing, building, and painting sets since the mid-eighties. Having the fortune to begin his theatrical career under the tutelage of Don McLaughlin in his hometown of Helena Montana, Mark continued his training at the University of Washington where he was accepted into the Graduate Design Seminar his sophomore year. With subsequent degrees in Art History and Drama, Mark went on to serve as technical director/designer for multiple organizations including: Virginia Musical Theatre, Fort Peck Summer Theatre, the Merry-Go-Round Playhouse, Little Theater of the Rockies, and the Norfolk Governor’s School for the Arts. As Technical Director/Production Manager of the national tour of Anything Goes (starring Gloria Loring) Mark travelled around the United States and Canada realizing that there is no place quite as wonderful as the Pacific Northwest. Shortly after the turn of the millennium, and following a brief stint as a carpenter at The Studio Theatre in Washington D.C., he moved back to Seattle. Locally he has worked behind the scenes for the Village Theatre, Seattle Musical Theatre, Redwood Theatre, and, of course, SecondStory Repertory.


Mark Chenovick (Sound Design) I began my sound design journey splicing reel-to-reel tape together in the basement of the original Penthouse Theater on the University of Washington campus but it was my brief time in the MFA program at Utah State University, where I learned the joys of digital sound design, and subsequently, became hooked on sound design for life. Having provided composed and curated underscoring and soundscaping, original and sourced sound effects, and performance amplification services for multiple theaters across the US, I have felt the most at home at SSR. Special thanks to Squolfie, ‘lil Squolf, and my extended family. You are the music of my life. #bandistoohot #sorrynotsorry

Mark Chenovick (Projection Design) has designed projections for over 100 shows in the last ten years. Prior to that he worked with CJS design, a website design and hosting company, developing custom websites for clients ranging from Draper Valley Farms to Seattle Film Group. He also co-created and ran the now defunct SeattleActor.com, a website focused on Seattle area theater, featuring audition listings, helpful articles, and show reviews. In addition to projections, Mark also designs all of the marketing materials you see at SSR including; posters, show graphics, and website. All my love to Jen. Enjoy the show!
