What child who wanted to belt out a tune in a production of Annie doesn't know the iconic Tim Curry as Rooster? Tim was authentic, creative and expressive and had an extensive and celebrated career in live theatre. Known for The Rocky Horror Picture Show, some may not be aware that Tim fundamentally shaped the character of Dr. Frank-N-Furter during the development of the original 1973 London stage production, taking what would have been a simple parody of a mad scientist and turning it into the cultural phenomenon it became. Notable Broadway stage credits also include Travesties (75-76), Amadeus (80-81), My Favourite Year (92-93) and Spamalot (05-07) and earned 3 Tony Award nominations over the course of his career. While the Tony Award eluded him, his vocal talents earned him recognition elsewhere including a Daytime Emmy for his voice work as Captain Hook. The world has lost another iconic, authentic individual who has left his mark on this world. Thank you Tim for the memories.

When Andy portrays a character, he goes all in - the voice, the mannerisms, the stage presence all makes for an incredible portrayal of Mal Beineke in the upcoming Addams Family musical. Mal is always looking out for his family and has a bit of trouble accepting his current reality. Andy says he is happy to be working on a show led by his friends Sarah, Lily and Zeke (from WPA's Little Shop of Horrors in 2024) and he likes the role because it has room to be funny, expressive and involves a change of heart. Come watch that change of heart happen next month at N Front Theatre - get your tickets in advance at WPATIX.com

The world lost a little bit of luster yesterday and heaven gained a beautiful angel. While Dolly Parton was never a Broadway performer, she had a huge presence there as a composer. Dolly wrote the music and lyrics for the stage adaptation of her hit 1980 movie, 9 to 5, earning her a Tony Award nomination for Best Original Score. And Dolly: A True Original Musical was co-written by her about her life and career. She appeared in 12 theatrically released feature films over her career that also expanded into television. WPA joins with the world not only celebrating her legacy as an entertainer, but also her authenticity to be true to herself and her loving nature. Keep shining your light down on us, Dolly. May each performer who crosses our stage do so with the grace and beauty that you brought to the world.

Amy-Jayne teaches theatre arts at North Brunswick High. She has worked with WPA as an audition consultant and camp director and says finally being able to perform onstage with WPA feels right! Alice is her first lead role in a musical so she's absolutely excited to be getting to create this story with a fantastic creative team, cast and crew!
