"The Hound of the Baskervilles" returns tomorrow Wednesday at 2:00 PM. Until then, let's meet the director and assistant director!

✨️David Andrews (Director)
David often finds himself immersed in the late Victorian Era, sometimes performing, sometimes directing, and sometimes adapting classics by Gilbert & Sullivan, George Bernard Shaw, Lewis Carroll, or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, apparently to justify the expense of his three university degrees in Theater and English Literature. He would like to acknowledge the invaluable assistance of the cast, staff, crew and management of PTD Productions toward indulging and supporting this particular fascination.

✨️Ethan Gibney (Assistant Director)
The six opossums in an elaborate costume that comprise Ethan Gibney (he/him) are excited to be working on their first show with PTD. As North America’s only native marsupial, the opossums make a point of supporting the arts. Acting credits include Shylock and Lady Bracknell (both for the late, lamented Brass Tacks Ensemble). Director credits include Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors (A2CT) and The 39 Steps (BTE).
