Last but not least, we have Geoff Keehan playing the part of The Man. Like Abby and Jimmy, this is also Geoff's first show with NRP. His favorite British TV show is The IT Crowd because Matt Berry is a genius. He prefers comedic over dramatic roles since he finds them more challenging. One thing he has in common with his character is they are both ticklish!

See How They Run opens tomorrow! Be sure to grab your tickets and let us tickle your funny bone.

Jacob Palka is always a fan favorite in NRPs Murder Mystery performances. We are so happy to have him back playing the part of the Sergeant. Thinking you are in control with all the authority only to realize you have none is a commonality Jacob and his character share. He is a fan of many British TV shows such as Fawlty Towers, Keeping up Appearances, Mr. Bean and Vicar of Dibley. Don Rickles is a favorite comedian of his because he was "an equal opportunist and no one was safe. In laughing at everyone, he brought us all together."

Grab you friends and family so you can all laugh together at our production of See How They Run that opens on Friday!

We welcome John Bihun back to the NRP stage. He will be playing the part of Lionel Toop. A big fan of comedic acting, one of Johns favorite comedians is Norm McDonald because he prefers to amuse himself more than his audience. Monty Python and The Holy Grail tops his list of epic British comedy. One thing he has in common with the character he plays is they both hate conflict.

Don't be conflicted and lock in your tickets today!
