Nancy Hunt has been a member of the Auburn Players since before she could possibly remember! Literally! Her first appearance on this stage was in utero! Nancy is maddeningly happy to be performing in The Laramie Project, as it is one of her favorite plays!
Mark Sidor is more than thrilled to be back onstage for the Laramie Project after a couple years hiatus to do more back stage work as stage manager for the Auburn Players productions of “Crimes of the Heart” and “The Kentucky Cycle” as well as taking on the role of Rehearsal Director for the Absolute Dance Company. While not onstage or behind the scenes he is the Audience Services Manager for the Finger Lakes Musical Theatre Festival and also teaches tap and musical theatre classes at the Absolute Dance Studio. A big thanks to the cast and crew and everyone involved, as this has been a wonderful process and learning experience. “And don’t get me wrong, I love the stage, I really do I love it.”
