Hickorydickory: Meet the Cast
Allie Bailey (Kate/Helen) is delighted to be making her Dragon Theatre debut with this thought provoking production. Allie is a local bay area theatre actor, director, production manager, teaching artist, and production stage manager who specializes in classical and musical theatre, opera, ballet, and modern dance. Before moving to California, Allie graduated from the University of Alberta with a BFA in theatre and worked as a CAEA stage manager in Edmonton, Alberta. Favorite theatre credits include Into the Woods (Los Altos Stage Company, Pacifica Spindrift Players), Rent (Cabrillo Stage), Peter and the Starcatcher (Hillbarn Theatre), The Nutcracker (Bay Pointe Ballet), Roots and Wings (sjDANCEco), Pippin, Cabaret (Sunnyvale Community Players), Sir John in Love (Bronx Opera), La bohรจme, The Magic Flute, Carmen, Idomeneo (Opera San Jose), A Chorus Line, The Marvelous Wonderettes, The Music Man (Broadway by the Bay), The Comedy of Errors (Freewill Players), La Traviata and The Flying Dutchman (Edmonton Opera).
Jonathan Covey (Rowen/Young Jimmy) has been heralded by top Bay Area theatre critics with such breathless praise as “fine” and “colorless” for his portrayal of Malcolm/Son Macduff/Lord #4 in Dragon’s production of Macbeth earlier this year. Recounted in vivid detail as “admirable” and “also in this play, I guess” for his performance of Detective Sgt. Trotter in Crystal Springs’ production of Agatha Christie’s The Mouse Trap back in 2009. Typically, Covey has focused on sound design and music, working on several other Dragon productions, such as Equivocation, Caeneus & Poseidon, Miss Reardon Drinks A Little, The Making of the Star War Holiday Special, and most recently, Shoggoths on the Veldt. He also did sound for Hillbarn’s productions of The Elephant Man and Noises Off, as well as numerous other plays for several other theatre companies around the Bay. But with such rapturous jubilation for his two–count them, TWO–whole swings at acting, how could he not try to top himself with a third?
Sarah Hass (Cari Lee) is thrilled to be making her debut with the Dragon Productions Theatre Company. Recent credits include Stupid F*cking Bird (Nina) with City Lights Theater Company, Seminar (Kate) at San Jose State University, A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Puck) at San Jose State University, The Shape of Things (Evelyn) at San Jose State University, The Great Gatsby (Daisy) at San Jose State University, and Curtains (Ensemble) with South Bay Musical Theater. She graduated with BA in Theatre Arts from San Jose State University and spends her days as a pastry baker. She would like to thank her family and friends for being an overwhelming and constant source of love and support.
Troy Johnson (Jimmy / Richard) has been acting and directing around the Bay Area for the past 25 years and is excited to be back at Dragon Productions as part of this team of passionate theatre artists. Previous acting credits at Dragon Productions include Porter / Witch / Soldier in this season’s production of Macbeth, Tesman in last season’s The Further Adventures of Hedda Gabler, and Mitch in A Streetcar Named Desire back when Dragon Productions was located in Palo Alto. Other recent acting credits include Harry Dangle in One Man, Two Guvnors at Palo Alto Players and Tesman in Hedda Gabler at The Pear Theatre. Troy thanks you for continuing to support live local theatre.
Zoey Little (Dale) is thrilled to be making her debut at Dragon Theatre. She is currently pursuing a BFA in dance from San Jose State University with a double major in Communication Studies. Credits include Sophie in Mamma Mia (Stage 1 Theater), Jean in the American Psycho West Coast premiere (Ray of Light Theatre), and Rusty in Footloose (West Valley Light Opera). Most recently, Zoey performed in Billy Elliot at Woodminster Summer Musicals. Favorite film credits include Haley in Metamorphosis: Junior Year (Betsy Franco), and Nicole in Animus (Alexis Williams). She also teaches dance at Dance Connection Palo Alto and occasionally choreographs youth theatre in the bay (Peninsula Youth Theater, Chrysalis Youth Theatre, HEART Academy). She is honored to join the phenomenally talented and inspiring cast of Hickorydickory and hopes you enjoy the show! Love and thanks to Mumma and Papa.
