Lydia is thrilled to be making her West Bay debut as Lin.

More recent acting credits include Wanda (Wanda’s Visit) and Billie Dawn (Born Yesterday) at Your Theatre, near her home in New Bedford, MA, and some all-time favorites include Little Sally (Urinetown!) and Izzy (Rabbit Hole) at Dickinson State University, where she earned degrees in Theatre and Communication. Lydia wishes to thank those who lit the fire and those who fanned the flame.

Gabby is thrilled to be performing in her West Bay debut as Pickles. Some of her recent acting credits include Marvalynn/Hope (Almost, Maine) at Stadium Theatre and Lottie (The Murder Room) at Barker Players. This summer, Gabby will be teaching young artists at Shakespeare and Company in Lenox, MA.  She graduated from Providence College with degrees in Public Service and Theatre. She lives in Providence with her lovely mother and spirited demon pup, Conley. Gabby would like to personally thank Kevin Thibault for acquiring every single snack she demanded.
