More About Cast Members

	David Norum Recently retired from public service (tax sucking), David is attempting to return to a life in the arts. After earning (his professors used the term “pilfering”) a degree from the prestigious (or formerly prestigious until this alumnus) Berklee College of Music he “worked” (LOL) as a jazz musician before embarking upon a (paying) career. Ten years ago David began dabbling in acting; currently dabbling with an apocalypse of brilliant, beautiful and better than me actors (and director, Anet !). He prays his appalling ignorance of Shakespeare, astrophysics and apiculture will be unnoticed (or forgiven) by the audience. David thanks his wonderful wife (Janene) and daughters, as well as the inventors of parenthesis (and italics).
Kathleen York After a 30 year hiatus Kathleen is returning to the theatre. She attended the New College of Speech & Drama in London where she received her Diploma in Dramatic Art from London University. She recently moved to the Central Coast and is excited about returning to the theatre. Kathleen has a degree in business and communication from Otterbein College in Ohio and has worked in the business world and real estate - she says that is all theatre too! Kathleen is married, has 3 grown children and enjoys travel, reading and tennis

Rosh Wright Rosh Wright is delighted to be back performing at the hidden gem of Atascadero, the Brickyard Theatre. Rosh has also performed at SLO Little Theatre, is involved with Improv comedy and in independent movies. She has been following her dream of acting for twenty five years, taking classes and courses whenever she can, and working with the best directors she can find. To support her acting habit, Rosh is an RN who works as a Legal Nurse Consultant. Thanks to Charley and Anet for their support of the arts!
	Dwain Edwards Dwain is the artistic director and producer for Stolen Fire. This year marked the ninth year that Stolen Fire has awarded cash prizes for outstanding achievement in playwriting to students during the New Play Festival at Arroyo Grande High School. He has also written several essays on the supposition that theater is dead. To quote novelist and actor Stephen Fry: "I saw a play the other week (plays are nothing to films, nothing. Theater is dead but sometimes I like to go and watch the corpse decompose)..." More can be read at Stolen Fire's website: www.stolenfire.com.

Britta Swearingen I definitely took a big b-b-b-bite into this fabulous experience of collaborating with the fine folks that make up Brickyard Theatre. It is an artistic delight to work with this saucy cast and magical crew on this production of Humble Boy. My calling is to pursue life with an openness that allows me to ease and educate through my profession as a Dental Hygienist. I am honored to include my theatrical involvement with Brickyard Theatre along with San Luis Obispo Little Theatre and The Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts as integral pieces in my being. Thank you for supporting the Arts in many ways, as ‘play’ is essential for self discovery in all of us.
