Meet Our Cast

Cullen Delmore returns to the CGP stage in the role of George Bailey.  An accomplished musician and technician, Cullen’s acting skills are not utilized as often as we would like. We’re so glad he gets to use them in It’s A Wonderful Life.

Alyssa Horne portrays the role of Mary Hatch-Bailey.  Aly is an important member of our troupe, usually serving as our musical director/accompanist.  She recently served in such a capacity for our production of Snoopy. We’re happy to see her  stretch her dramatic wings in It’s A Wonderful Life.

Cindi Halkola is a long-time member of Country Gate.  She most recently performed multiple characters in our production of A. R. Gurney’s Sylvia.  In  It’s A Wonderful Life she plays two mothers.... one of George and the other of Mary. Thanks to Cindi for her creation of our "Applause" sign.

Colleen Capponi recently completed a highly successful run as Clairee Belcher in our production of Steel Magnolias.  She portrays the Angel Superintendent, Josephine, as well as the bank examiner Sadie Vance in  It’s A Wonderful Life.

Gary Crivellaro is the creator and owner of Main Deck Productions.  He  has performed in many Country Gate shows, but is particularly known for his murder mystery appearances. He portrays Clarence and Uncle Billy in It’s A Wonderful Life “I love to make people laugh and escape the real world once in a while.”

Alexandra Romeo has performed in several CGP murder mystery productions.  She plays multiple roles in  It’s A Wonderful Life including George’s daughter, Zuzu.  We’re very  happy to have Alexandra in our show.

Cailla Minerowicz portrays Violet Bick in It’s A Wonderful Life. Our audiences will remember her outstanding performance in the title role of Sylvia, this past spring.   An accomplished dancer, Cailla provided some fun moves for our productions’ radio commercials.

Mike Wetmore plays the role of a Foley Artist in It’s A Wonderful Life. He helps create many of the show's sound effects. He’s performed for many years at CGP.  We recall in particular his funny portrayal of "Donald" in You Can’t Take It With You.

Doug Lare is making his CGP debut in  It’s A Wonderful Life. After a distinguished career in academia, Doug is branching out.  We’re so happy he’s decided to branch out, in part, with us. He portrays Peter Bailey and many other characters in our production.

Scott Crivellaro is First Mate in his Dad’s (Gary) Main Deck Productions.  But he’s been around the theatre and CGP for many years. We’re proud to see the fine actor he’s become and very glad to have him playing multiple roles in It’s A Wonderful Life.

Vinny Foti is returning to our stage after a long….and mostly involuntary…hiatus.  Trust us….we’re very, very happy to have him back. Audiences will remember Vinny in many roles over the years.  Some of our favorites are Mr. Banks in Mary Poppins, Biff in Death of a Salesman and  Max in Lend Me A Tenor.  He plays evil Mr. Potter and others in It’s A Wonderful Life.

Wayne Dotter  serves as a Foley Artist, providing clever sound effects along the radio drama's journey.  Wayne is well known as a community theatre actor in many companies.  We’re excited to have him back at Country Gate.

Merry Christmas from all of us to all of you!

Heather Delp has become an essential member of our theatre group. She's running the lights for It’s A Wonderful Life.  But she is highly proficient in every production area.  We're happy to have her with us for this show.
