EGEUS
Mark
Mark trained out back in the wilderness where he was inspired by one elephant near death who wouldn't give up.
This is Mark's 7th time performing this month. Recently he has starred in "Dancing On Ice," "Total Wipeout," "Are You Smarter than a 75 Year Old?" and many more.
Mark was rescued at an early age from falling through the ice. This has always inspired Mark to be a figure skater. He has won 5 Olympic Medals in Figure Skating, and his next project is to make Josh Firth an Olympic figure skater. This is mission impossible.
Mark has studied alongside some of the greatest actors ever, like Steve Martin, Robert Pattinson and Dwayne Douglas Johnson, (The Rock).
Mark would like to dedicate his performance to his Mummy.




DEMETRIUS
Jason
Jason graduated from Stratford School of Excellence ‘or whatever’ in 2004 and hasn’t looked back since.
After appearing as part of S.S.F’s Hamlet as “Hamlet” (2008), Petruchio in “Taming of the Shrew” (2009), and Link Larkin in K.H.S’s “Hairspray” (2009) Jason also made his Hollywood breakthrough in “Mission Impossible” 1, 2 and 3. He said he found it a breeze to appear in his final S.S.F. show “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” as Demetrius.
Jason thinks he’s a pretty normal, decent guy. He describes himself: “Hey, I am Jason. I’m officially the world’s 365th best grass cutter. Two thirds of my body is coated in titanium alloy. My left nipple is two inches higher than my right and my best friend is Ms. Taylor, she is my rock in the storms of theatre.”
He wants to thank Mr Blobby, who has been his role model for many years, supporting and motivating his acting.
This performance tonight is being dedicated to Mr Cowan, who is the anchor in the stormy seas of theatre.
Jason asks all his male and female fans to follow him on Twitter as soon as they get home.




HELENA
Kerri
20/12/1992
Kerri is from the ‘mighty’ area of Mourne and trained in Derryogue Drama Studios. Her past performances include: In S.S.F: Gertrude a.k.a Dirty Gerty in “Hamlet” (2008), The Widow in “Taming of the Shrew” (2009) In K.H.S: Lullaby Munchkin in “The Wizard of Oz” (2006) and Louanne in “Hairspray” (2009). She walked the red carpet with French actor Gaspard Ulliel at Cannes Film Festival in 2009. Kerri thinks of herself as “Just a small town girl, livin’ in a lonely world, she took the midnight train goin’ anywhere. Working hard to get my fill. Everybody wants a thrill. Payin’ anything to call the dice. Just one more time...etc.” She also would like to include that ‘the best thing about being a woman is the prerogative to have a little fun, oh, oh!’
Kerri would like to thank her former music tutor Elton John, as he was “an inspiration to my life.”
Kerri is delighted to be chosen for the part of Helena in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” because she appears alongside her beloved John, who plays Lysander. She would like to dedicate this performance to Nico.


LYSANDER
John
05/11/1992
John did not study anywhere! He said himself that he won his roles from pure talent and his dashing good looks. In S.S.F: Laertes in “Hamlet” (2008), Hortensio in “Taming of the Shrew” (2009)
John describes himself as a “city boy, born and raised in South Detroit.” Once he took the midnight train going anywhere.
His work on stage is inspired by Rick Astley (he has nice hair), Oprah (she represents woman and black power which he strongly believes in) and Will Ferrell (who has extra nice hair.)
John would like to dedicate this year’s performance to Thomas Edison, because he gave us light so that we can perform at night time.







HERMIA
Emma
11/3/93
Oscar and BAFTA award-winning Emma Hanna has just returned from touring the world, and will play the role of Hermia tonight. After being plucked from Madame Graham’s Academy of Drama and French in 2008, Emma shot to fame as Ophelia in S.S.F’s “Hamlet” (2008) She then moved on the next year to play Bianca in “Taming of the Shrew” (2009)
Emma describes her thrilling and busy lifestyle: “I am Emma. Semi-fluent in French, Spanish and sarcasm. My super power is control over tupperware. I’m a black belt in Karate (dyed the belt black myself!) but prefer trying to find Narnia in my wardrobe. Oh! And my patronus is a platypus!”
Emma studies with Sue Sylvester which she describes as “hard work”, but says it’s worthwhile when she sees the audience give a standing ovation at her shows.
After this set of shows with her Shakespeare buddies, Emma begins touring again, firstly with the ‘Wicked’ cast, then in 2012, the ‘Glee’ cast, where she will perform in theatres in various countries all over the globe.
Emma would like to dedicate her performance to The Old Man™. May he rest in peace!
