Race: Meet the Cast

Pat Caulfield (Jack Lawson) first “walked the boards” in 2015 at The Shelton Theater as Detective Baylen in Glengarry Glen Ross. In 2017, he returned to The Shelton Theater to co-produce and co-star in Mamet’s two-hander Oleanna. Thanks to The Dragon Theater, his opportunity to produce the weighty (and could not be more timely) Mamet play Race has finally arrived. A fervent Mamet fan, Pat is excited to be making a return to the stage after having solidified a law enforcement persona on camera. TV credits include FBI Agent on Nash Bridges, as well as a Chinese mini-series Human Traffic; SWAT member for Japanese TV; US Marshall, and Police Detective for Discovery TV. Film credits include Police Detective in the indie film Get Money; Police Officer in The Zodiac and Turner Broadcast System’s Murder in the First. As a lifelong learner, Pat has studied an array of artistic and athletic disciplines. As a patron of the arts, he offers special thanks to those who keep live theater alive.

Hannah Mary Keller (Susan) is particularly thrilled to be participating in this production of Race for her first production with Dragon Productions Theatre Company. Hannah’s past credits include Noises Off (Poppy) with Pacific Coast Repatory Theatre, Enemy of the People (Petra) with The Pear Theatre, Romeo y Julieta (Gregorio) with Half Moon Bay Shakespeare, King Lear (Burgundy/Oswald) with Theatre Rhinoceros, and Arcadia (Thomasina) and A Streetcar Named Desire (Negro Woman/Flower Woman/Nurse) with Jewel Theatre Company. She graduated from San Francisco State University in May 2017 with a B.A. in Drama with a performance emphasis. Hannah’s credits at San Francisco State University include Duplicity (Phoenix) , Spell #7 (Lily), Clean House (Matilde), A Photograph: Lovers in Motion (Michael), Arabian Nights (Schaherazade), African Spaghetti (Hatty), and No Exit (Inez Serrano).

Martin Gagen (Charles Strickland). This is Martin’s third performance at the Dragon Theatre, and he is delighted to take on the intense role of Charles in Mamet’s Race! He is an English actor who has been acting since college. His work includes many comedic and dramatic productions, modern and classical. His Bay Area performances include Adrian in Steven Dietz’ Private Eyes, and Jimmy in Neil Simon’s The Gingerbread Lady both at the Dragon Theatre; George Bailey in It’s A Wonderful Life, A Live Radio Play, and Henry in The Fantasticks, both at the Los Altos Theatre; General Tilney and Mr. Morland in Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey at The Pear Theatre, and the Narrator in C. S. Lewis’s The Magician’s Nephew at The Tabard Theatre.  Martin gets his Hollywood fix regularly with roles in the Master, Trauma, Parenthood, Carrier and the bizarre World’s Astonishing News, and numerous “blink and you’ll miss it” walk on parts on TV! His first love is theatre and he trained with American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco, the British American Drama Academy at Oxford University where he worked with the founder of the Royal Shakespeare Company, John Barton, and gained his Masters in Liberal Arts at Stanford University.
