Sean Mitchell (Marley/Christmas Present) has been associated with SSR in over a dozen shows over more than a dozen years. This is his third outing with A Christmas Carol. In the premiere production of this show, Sean played Bob Cratchit. Two years later he returned as director and now he revisits a role he performed at ACT almost 15 years ago. He feels that he is perhaps a little more age-appropriate now. Sean thanks Jen for a happy and professional environment and Mark for teaching him more about the theater than anyone else he has met. Thanks also to Elizabeth, Gus and Grant for their patience and support, and to Grace for her good wishes from afar.

Britt Boyd (Quartet/Chrismas Past) Performing in A Christmas Carol has become one of Britt's favorite holiday traditions over the last five years! SSR audiences will remember her most recently as Mrs. Lynde in Anne of Green Gables and Lucy in A Charlie Brown Christmas. Other favorite local credits include The Baker’s Wife in Into the Woods (Seattle Musical Theatre), Mrs. Armstrong in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (Seattle Public Theatre) and Martha in The Secret Garden (Kitsap Forest Theater). She has also performed locally with Village Theatre, ACT and Theater Schmeater. Cheers!

Seth Clemons (Fezziwig/Solicitor/Old Joe/Quartet) is beyond delighted to make his debut on the SecondStory Repertory stage. Seth has recently been seen in productions of Annie (Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks), The Importance of Being Earnest (Gribsby), and Guys and Dolls (Rusty Charlie). Off the stage, Seth is an avid collector of rare comic books, a storyteller leading courageous adventurers through daring exploits within the realms of Dungeons & Dragons, and a regular guest speaker at Adventure Church in Duvall. A Christmas Carol is one of Seth’s all-time favorite allegories, as he once conducted a five-part speaking series further exploring the beautiful transformation of Scrooge detailed within Charles Dicken’s classic tale.

Elizabeth Shipman (Mrs Fezziwig/Jane) has had a fun year in theater. She has appeared at the Driftwood Players, the Phoenix Theater, and is now back for her second turn as Mrs. Fezziewig at SecondStory Repertory. She would like to thank first her supportive family, and the talented cast, crew and company for their time, talent and patience. May you truly enjoy your holidays this year.
