Alex Margies
Alex Margies is excited to return to Lone Brick and Forgotten Lore Theatre! He has previously appeared as The Emperor in Forgotten Lore’s Strange Aeons. He has performed in several shows with Ridley Drama Group, including Matilda, The Play That Goes Wrong, A Christmas Carol, and Anastasia. Most recently, he music directed Ridley Performing Arts Program’s Tick Tick Boom! Thank you to the directors for the opportunity and to my family for your constant support!
IGOR
Cid Miller
Cid is excited and grateful to be making his Forgotten Lore debut with Monstersongs! His past acting credits are almost entirely from high school theater (shout out Lower Merion Players) where he performed Turn Back, O Man in Godspell, and played Lumiere in Beauty and the Beast, and Dallas Winston in The Outsiders (plus directing The Play That Goes Wrong), and he has done various shows in college on the hair and makeup run crew.
He would like to thank his lovely hair and makeup crew for their help and their patience on this production, and Tabbie for getting him involved!
THE SIREN FISH
Kim Rouse
THE TEENAGE VAMPIRE, THE GHOST, THE WITCH
Kim Rouse has been passionate about music for her entire life and is excited to be debuting with the Forgotten Lore Theatre Company. This is her first theatre production since taking a hiatus in 2016. She is looking forward to being back on stage as The Teenage Vampire, The Ghost, and The Witch in Monstersongs.
Outside of the theatre, she is also a proud member and musical director of the charity cabaret group Love City Cabaret and sings in her church’s choir every Sunday.
Tabbie Wismer
Tabbie is thrilled to be making her debut with Forgotten Lore in Monstersongs! Most recently, she could be spotted in many, many children's shows (such as playing the Bus Driver in Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!), and though she does believe that children are the best audience because they're honest, she's relieved to be involved with an adult production, which will be comparatively much less pressure. Though she has many passions, singing will always be number one, and she thanks Robert and Bea for taking a chance on a newcomer!
