Bill Torgerson
Long ago in a distant land, I, Bill, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil! But a foolish Samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now the fool seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Bill!
Simon Traynor
An accomplished musician and education in Fairbanks, Simon plays trumpet and has been a big part of some of the biggest shows in our town.
Andrew Davenport
Adam and Gwen approached me about the board. I thought I’d do stuff, but I really, really don’t. I was in Once Upon A Mattress and spent my time trying to pull off a prank in one of my scenes.
Amanda Torgerson
Amanda’s passion for the theatre started when she was in the 5th grade and her then teacher asked her to read for the class’ Civil War play. It was a pantomime, so the opportunity to be showcased as the only voice in a class of 25 appealed to her. Amanda has since appeared off and in Fairbanks plays including FLOT’s RENT, Once Upon a Matress and most recently IIT’s Avenue Q. When Gwen approached her about joining the board, she was only too happy to accept.
