MEET THE CASTEMILY ADKINS (Actor 5/Notorious Cast) is making her first debut appearance on the CTC stage. After moving from Florida almost two years ago, she is currently studying in the PATP program at Chattanooga State, with goals of becoming a voice actress in the future.

She has her bachelor’s degree in English from the University of Florida and her master’s degree in Kinesiology/Sport Psychology from the University of Ten-nessee Knoxville. Claire also played collegiate and professional tennis. When she is not on the stage, she is staying physically active and working on other creative

projects such as singing, piano, painting, and seeing how many languages she can learn on Duo Lingo. She also enjoys caring for her two fur babies (Daisy the Doberman (4) and Draco who looks like Puss in Boots (2). She wants to thank her partner James for talking with her in so many differ-ent accents and her family across the pond in England for the inspiration. She’d like to dedicate this performance to her grandfather, John Devonald Turberville.

GREER CALDWELL (Actor 4/Psycho Cast) is excited and thrilled to be returning to the CTC stage after her most recent performances as Ginette/Waitress/Marci/Su-zette in Almost, Maine, Mrs. Banks in Mary Poppins (Theater Award for Best Sup-porting Actress), Mrs. Phelps in Matilda, and Kate Monster in Avenue Q (Theater Awards for Best Actress and Audience Favorite Actress).

She has been involved at the CTC for almost 20 years, from How to Succeed..., The Nerd, Bye, Bye, Birdie, Harvey, and others as life has allowed.

A six-time Miss Annie winner, he has been involved in a wide variety of volunteer opportunities: singing, dancing, and acting on the mainstage and the Circle; flying Mary Poppins and Bert; playing piano (as it rolls across the stage) or playing bass; arranging or directing music; teaching at summer camp; ushering and house manag-ing; and now being a Foley artist.

Thanks JET!

HELENE HAILE (Foley Artist/Psycho Cast) is a college sophomore and childcare work-er. She has loved theater since middle school when she first played in its version of Annie! She is currently a model for Ambiancemodels.com here in Chattanooga and thought she should get some more theater experience, and what better place than the CTC! Helene says, “I have loved the staff and other cast members and can’t wait to join them on the stage.”

JESSE HEADRICK (Stage Manager/Notorious Cast) is a local fellow Chattanoogan from Ringgold, Ga., where he has lived for the majority of his life and currently resides. He grew up in the local church just a mile down the road where he played on stage in Christmas productions and plays and has even dipped his toe in choir. Coincidently, this year seemed like a good opportunity to introduce himself to the local Chattanooga Theatre Centre as a newly introduced stage manager.

JUSTIN HOLDERMAN (Technical Direction) has been a part of the theatre world for his whole life. Growing up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, he was part of many produc-tions, both on and off stage, at Players De Noc. When his family moved from Michigan to Spring Hill, TN, his passion for theatre remained, and he continued to volunteer at several local theatres. He attended UTC to pursue his theatre degree and began volun-teering at the CTC in the scene shop. After that he worked at the Cumberland County

Playhouse as a member of the scenic crew, working full time as a carpenter for their 14-show season. He and his wife recently returned to Chattanooga, and they have a dog who is lazy and loveable.

MICHAEL HUSEMAN (Underscoring Composer/Keyboards/Psycho Cast) A Grammy award-winning composer, Michael is excited to create and play the underscoring for Vintage Hitchcock. Previously, he has been the musical director and accompanist for numerous shows here at CTC, most recently Mary Poppins, Matilda, and Newsies. Working with his writing partner, Chuck Tuttle, Michael has created eleven original

musicals for the Summer Musical Academy here at the CTC. He has written music and lyrics in a variety of musical styles, ranging from stirring choral anthems to several New York City cabaret shows. He maintains an active piano studio and is the organist, pianist, and resident composer at Signal Crest United Methodist Church. You can experience some of his work on his YouTube site or visit his website: www.michaelhuseman.com. Michael would like to thank his wonderful wife, Diane, for her support and understanding as he shares his musical talents.

GARY MAY (Sound Engineer) became involved in the audio department at the CTC during the 2016 production of Miracle on 34th Street and has subsequently assist-ed nearly all productions and events at the theatre since. Outside of CTC shows, he remains busy doing freelance work with local sound engineers/theatres around Chattanooga and North Georgia.

ROBERT SODERSTROM (Stage Manager/Psycho Cast) Is new to the Chattanooga area. Hailing from Belle Fourche, South Dakota, Robert has been a part of communi-ty theater for over ten years. He has appeared in such plays as American Buffalo, 12 Angry Men, Bus Stop, The Importance of Being Earnest, Beauty and the Beast, and many others. He is also co-founder and board president of the Belle Fourche Area Community Theater. Robert is a father, stepfather, house dad, welder, and writer, and

he is very grateful for the opportunity to help bring this latest production to the CTC stage.

RODNEY VAN VALKENBURG (Vintage Hitchcock Director/CTC Executive Director) is excited to return to the CTC. He started his career at the Little Theatre in 1983 as the first full-time Youth Theatre director. He served for more than 18 years as Director of Programs and as Director of Education.

rad, Russia. Rodney also served as Artistic Director of the camp in Narva, Estonia. He has directed over 80 plays at the CTC, including many Youth Theatre productions, Boeing, Boeing, and Annie. He has also been seen onstage in It’s a Wonderful Life, Newsies, A Room with a View, Les Miserables, The Producers, and Anything Goes. Rodney has been a participant in the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts’ Partners in Education program since 2003 and served on the program’s Advisory Committee. He served as the coordinator for the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Ensuring the Arts for Any Given Child site, also through the Kennedy Center. Rodney has also served as a grant panelist with the National Endowment for the Arts and the Tennessee Arts Commission. He serves as Tennessee State Captain for the Americans for the Arts’ National Arts Action Summit in Washington, D.C. He is a past president of the Tennessee Theatre Association and served on the executive committee of the Southeastern Theatre Conference. He received his MFA in Acting and Directing from the University of North Carolina-Greensboro. Rodney and his wife, Julie, live on Signal Mountain. Their son, Jake, lives in Atlanta.

MEET THE REST OF THE STAFFANNIE COLLINS (Technical Assistant) is a Chattanooga native who has been involved in theatre since she was eight years old. Growing up, she was an active participant in TheatreQuest and the Youth Theatre at the CTC. For the past seven years she has worked with the Summer Academy in various capacities from teaching assistant to site director. More recently, she has started teaching youth acting classes, working year-round with the Youth Theatre, and serving
