📖 He writes psychological thrillers. This month, he’s performing in one.

MEET THE CAST — Leland Shipp as Carlino

Leland is thrilled to be joining The Valerie Players for this production. Valerie audiences last saw him in Tootsie and, most recently, Southern Fried Funeral.

In his spare time he writes psychological thrillers — Impulsivity and Shadows of Helix — so suspense is familiar territory. He’s always hunting the next good story, on the page or under the lights.

He’s grateful to this cast and crew for the nights in the shadows.

🎭 She played Young Elsa at six years old and never looked back. She's ten now — and this is her biggest role yet.

MEET THE CAST — Annabelle Infante as Gloria

Annabelle is ten years old and in the fifth grade. She started acting at six in her school's production of Frozen, and apparently decided the stage suited her, because she hasn't stopped since — Nemo in Twistid Arts' Finding Nemo, the title role in her school's Annie, and supporting roles in Twistid Arts' The Wizard of Oz. She's been a competitive dancer since she was seven, so performing is pretty well in the bones at this point.

When she's not acting or dancing, you'll find her with her friends, volunteering with the Downtown Inverness Rotary Club, or chasing down her next adventure.

She's thrilled to take on Gloria — and she hopes you don't get too scared.

⚾ He used to call the plays from the dugout. This month, he's calling them from the stage.

MEET THE CAST — Jon Bolin as Sam Hendrix

Jon is a former baseball coach who traded the ballfield for the footlights, and WAIT UNTIL DARK marks his fifth production with The Valerie Players. He's discovering that acting has plenty of drama in it — no extra innings required.

Jon would like to thank his daughter, Riley, and his son, Blake, for their constant love and support. He promises to keep the theatrics onstage… at least until the next production.

🔦 One role is still waiting in the dark.

The cast of WAIT UNTIL DARK is coming together — but there's one part we haven't found yet, and it might belong to a kid you know.

GLORIA — girls ages 8–15, playing age 12. She's sharp, sensitive, and braver than the grown-ups in the room.

No audition night to catch. This one's arranged directly with the director.
