Keegan previously appeared as Tony Delvecchio in DISASTER! at New Holstein High School and has performed in other productions, including Mamma Mia! (Harry Bright).

Clock in, sit back, and enjoy the show.

Ryan Metko (Russell Tinsworthy) is excited to make his musical debut as Russel Tinsworthy and the corpse in 9 to 5 the Musical. He is excited for the challenge of performing as the corpse, and believes it is helping to stretch the range of his acting abilities. Ryan had been in a play in high school as well as 2016 Dream Role: Back to Broadway, and is elated about making a return to the stage with his wife Jenny (Detective) , and daughter Grace (co-director). He also feels it is fair to finally give his daughter an opportunity to tell him where to go for once. For his “9 to 5,” Ryan annoys his students daily with numbers at New Holstein High School. In his spare time, he likes to golf, collect dice, and spend time with his family. (Whether they like spending time with him or not, is up for debate.)

A veteran of university and community theatre, Gretchen Mineau is thrilled to return to CCCT in her role as the clueless Missy Hart. She resides in Chilton with her husband, Nathan and their two daughters, Natalie and Mattilyn. Favorite roles have included Eulalie Shinn in The Music Man and Stepmother in Into the Woods. When not on the stage, Gretchen teaches English at Brillion High and FVTC. Her favorite part of this year’s production is getting to learn a new show. She wishes to thank her family and friends for their ongoing support.

Sienna Stautz (Maria Delgado) couldn’t be more excited for her first production with Calumet County Community Theatre doing 9 to 5 the Musical. In total, Sienna has been in six productions.

She loves traveling, reading, learning piano, and lazy beach days. Erika enjoys creative outlets like beadwork and writing lyrics that her husband, Jon, turns into songs. She'd like to thank Jon for encouraging her to audition and supporting her through the show.

Miranda Lorenz (Cop, ensemble) has been part of CCCT since its very first musical, and she couldn’t be more excited to return this year for the production of 9 to 5. Her involvement spans to all CCCT musicals and several non-musical productions, whether she’s performing on stage, working backstage, or trying not to mess up in the booth.

In addition to her work with CCCT, Miranda has also contributed to numerous productions within the Chilton School District, showcasing her commitment to fostering the arts in her community.
 

What Miranda cherishes most about CCCT are the bonds and connections that flourish with each show. She believes, “People form lifelong friendships, and that is truly awesome to see.” As a member of the CCCT Board, she is dedicated to nurturing the growth of community theater year-round.

Miranda’s ultimate goal for every show she participates in is simple: to ensure that everyone smiles, laughs, and enjoys a wonderful summer experience. She wishes to extend her heartfelt gratitude to her friends and family for their unwavering support, stating that their love does not go unnoticed and fills her heart with joy.
 

A special thank you goes to her husband, who not only supports her theater dreams but also encourages their two sons, who are joining her on stage this year.

To her CCCT family, Miranda expresses deep appreciation for the impact they’ve had on her life. She looks forward to continuing these cherished friendships and warmly welcomes new members to the CCCT family, which she describes as truly remarkable.
 

Miranda hopes everyone enjoys the show just as much as the cast and crew have enjoyed bringing it to life. So, let’s sit back, relax, and enjoy ‘9 to 5’!

Demitri Gamble-Jacobson (Josh Newstead) is excited to be in his second show with CCCT after his role as Issachar in last year's production of Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. This is the 4th musical that he’s been in, performing roles as Donald in Disaster! and Mr. Miyagi in Back To The 80s, both at New Holstein High School, where he will be a junior in September. He is an avid fan of movies and the process of filmmaking as he aspires to become a film director in the future. In his free time he has been preparing to work on his first short film which he plans to begin filming in August.

Paul Kobylorz (Dwayne Rhodes): Hello, folks! This is my first time participating in a CCCT production, and I couldn’t be more excited! Theatre has been a passion of mine since high school, with my first show being Mary Poppins (Police Officer/Park Keeper). I was in many other shows to follow, including Newsies (Wiesel/Nunzio), West Side Story(Anxious), and more recently, the STC production of Alice By Heart (Dr. Butridge/Jabberwocky/King of Hearts). I majored in theatre at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and exist as the remnant of an unfortunately bygone major. I currently work for the USPS as a Postal Carrier in Kiel, WI. But, I’m more than just a postal carrier, as I’m also a keyboardist who plays on my church’s Worship team. My other hobbies include disc golf, board gaming, and fishing, all of which I hope to do more of when the show is over. This show has grown on me over time, and I hope you will come to enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed being a part of it.

Ryan Pagel (Bob Enright) is super excited for another CCCT show. Before this, Ryan had appeared in CCCT productions of The Music Man and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. He participated in five  productions with Kiel Area Youth Theatre, and the Kiel High School productions of Tony Awards Revue, Cinderella, Grease, Mamma Mia, and 12 Angry Jurors, as well as being part of stage crew for Kiel High School's production of Clue. Ryan is attending UW-Stevens Point for Computer Information Systems, and is a part of the Pointer Pep Band and the UWSP Campus Band and Choir. Before college, he was part of the Kiel High School Waves of Rhythm Show Choir and was also involved in Cross Country, Track, and Robotics. He would like to thank his family and friends for supporting him through these productions. He hopes you enjoy the show!!!

Lauren Kristoff (Margaret) is so excited to make her return to the stage for the first time since 2012! She has been involved in theatre since then, but it has mostly been on the tech side, music directing or playing piano in the pit orchestra. Lauren is currently working her dream job as the choir director at Roncalli High School where she was first inspired to pursue a career in music. Watching her students have so much fun in their own school musicals is what inspired Lauren to get out of her shell, meet some new people, and get back on the stage herself. Outside of the musical, Lauren enjoys hiking. In fact, she enjoys it so much that her and her husband Dan are currently hiking sections of the Ice Age Trail! It’s only 1200 miles long and so far they have completed over 100 miles. Nature and music are her two passions in life and she’s grateful that she can experience both of them.

Erin Wedemeier (Kathy) is so happy to spend another summer with CCCT. After a 20 year gap, Erin has just recently returned to the stage with roles in The Music Man and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (CCCT) and Charlotte's Web and Gooney Bird Greene (Papermaker Players). When not on stage, Erin is a school library media specialist in Kimberly. She resides in Brillion with her ever-supportive husband and 8 year old daughter.

Evelyn Ortlieb is playing the New Intern/ensemble in  9 to 5 the Musical. This is her third musical with CCCT and her 6th musical in all. Evelyn’s hobbies include reading, playing piano, singing, and hanging out with her friends. Evelyn will be entering her sophomore year in the fall, and she’ll be very involved with the music and theater department as a drum major, soprano section leader, and Vice President of ECPA. Evelyn will also be starring as Ariel in the fall production of The Little Mermaid.  She’d like to give a huge shout out to her best friend Mallory for convincing so many people to come watch the show this year. She’d also like to thank her family for helping run lines and music. Enjoy the show!

Jenny Metko (Detective, ensemble) is excited to be returning to CCCT in this year’s production of 9 to 5 the Musical. She was on stage for CCCT’s production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, but most often you will find her backstage as the costumer for the musicals at Brillion High School and Brillion Middle School. Jenny’s normal 9 to 5 is office work for a dairy and for a trucking company. When she’s not doing her 9 to 5 she enjoys spending time in her sewing studio. She has two sewing seasons — “costume season” and “quilting season”. She has really enjoyed doing this show with her husband Ryan (corpse/Tinsworthy) and her daughter Grace (co-director).

Jill Bailey (Doctor, ensemble) is honored to be part of the amazing cast of 9 to 5 the Musical. Her favorite role with Calumet County Community Theatre was Mrs. Corry in Mary Poppins. Jill is often found backstage immersed in the creative side of the CCCT theatre productions. Last year she joined the CCCT board where she helps with their mission of growing community through the arts. Jill currently resides in Chilton with her husband Dave (ensemble) and her 3 children. By day she is a graphic designer and high school art teacher. Her favorite part of 9 to 5 is the upbeat music and choreography, but she is also grateful for the new friendships made!
