Director’s Notes
Growing up around the theater, especially Shakespeare, I fell in love with the Bard early on. My father performed Complete Works twice when I was young, and I loved it. Directing this show has been an honor, allowing me to bring my own ideas to it as an experienced actor and director. I hope this show makes you laugh and helps you appreciate Shakespeare, showing that he is neither dry nor boring.
~ Victoria Boyce
Cast and Crew Bios
Holt Thomas (Himself) Holt is really looking forward to sharing the stage with these great actors and bringing this lovely audience all the comedy, drama and history of The Bard. Everyone will be able to leave this show and say they are now experts in all things Shakespeare. Well maybe not an expert, but at least very well educated. Okay, maybe not very well educated, but you’ll be able to hold a passable conversation about Shakespeare. Maybe not passable, but you’ll certainly be able to summarize all, most, some….at least 2 of his plays. Either way enjoy the show and if you see my wife Melanie or my son Lee in the audience, know that their support is what lets me keep coming to this stage.
Leah Tkacik (Herself) Leah is thrilled to return to South City Theatre for this production! She has performed in several shows at South City, including The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (Alice) and Bye Bye Birdie (Ensemble). A recent Theatre graduate from the University of Montevallo, she has also performed in the opera ensemble there and participated in the staged reading of Booth! The Lincoln Conspiracy (Lucy Hale) with the Cahaba Theatre Group. She thanks her parents, friends, professors, and all who attend the show. Enjoy!
Sydney Alison Batten (Herself) Sydney is delighted to participate in her first production at South City Theater. She was most recently onstage in Waiting for Godot (Lucky) at BFT. Special thanks to Will for writing that still resonates; and to Victoria, Leah, and Holt for bringing this show to life!

Past shows include Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (Maggie), The Importance of Being Earnest (Gwendolyn), Cheaper by the Dozen (Anne), And Then There were None (Vera), and A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Helena) Directing credits include Guys and Dolls, A Christmas Story (both at ACTA), Taming of the Shrew (Bards of Birmingham), and Alice in Wonderland (Park Players).
