$Dean Holt$	DEAN HOLT (Mouse) Favorite cookie: Well, chocolate chip of course. If you ask an actor for a bio, he’ll probably want to tell you about himself. And then, he’ll blabber on about favorite shows and meeting his wife at the theatre and how he’s crazy about her. And chances are, if he’s telling you all of that, he’ll mention his boys, who are about the most fantastic kids ever. And then, he’ll realize that his life might be very different if he hadn’t gotten a part in a CTC play 20 years ago so then he’ll think how cool all that coincidental stuff is, and he might even get a little choked up, which could make his nose run and drip all over his bio, so please... don’t ask an actor for a bio.
	REED SIGMUND (The Boy) Favorite cookie: Chocolate Chip Reed cannot wait to play alongside his best buddy Deano and help recreate the most glorious mess this stage has ever seen. Currently closing out his 13th season at CTC, he has appeared in numerous productions, including: The Wizard of Oz, HONK!, Disney’s Aladdin Jr., A Year with Frog and Toad, Romeo & Juliet, Bert and Ernie, Goodnight!, Cinderella, Robin Hood, Annie, Mercy Watson to the Rescue!, Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Alice in Wonderland. When not performing on the CTC stage, Reed and his darling wife Autumn can be found anxiously awaiting the arrival of the their new baby boy alongside their other little gentlemen, Sawyer and Kermit.
	ADAM QUALLS (Mirror Mouse, Understudy Boy, Mouse) Favorite cookie: White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Finishing his season as a CTC Performing Apprentice, Adam is stoked that this Ultimate Understudy Challenge has finally arrived! Over the past year at CTC, he has appeared in Alice in Wonderland, Jackie and Me, Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Buccaneers, and as an understudy in Pinocchio. He has performed locally with several theatre companies for audiences young and old, among them Park Square Theatre, Actors Theater of Minnesota, Theatre Pro Rata, and Bloomington Civic Theatre. He will always cherish his PA season, and he feels blessed to be a part of the CTC family! Finally, Adam finds it unfair to ask him to pick one favorite cookie.
