MARIE JAGGER-TAY LOR Marie grew up in Pueblo, Colorado and now makes Macon, Illinois her home where she is a performer and educator. She is currently Adjunct Professor of Dance at Millikin University where she teaches jazz and tap. Ms. Taylor also conducts dance and theatre workshops for high schools in Central Illinois and does free-lance chore- ography for various show choirs in the area. Her love of performing has taken her across North America in such

roles as Cassie in A Chorus Line, Anna in The King and I, Maggie in Cat On a Hot Tin Roof and here in Sullivan as Maria in West Side Story, Sister Amnesia in Nunsense 11, and Maggie in Lend Me a Tenor. You might have seen Ms. Taylor on TV, where she is the Spokesperson for Jensen's Home Furnishings in Taylorville. Marie is married to agrarian Jody Taylor and they are the proud parents of 3 year old Caleb and 5 month old Emma. On the farm, you might see Marie driving a tractor or singing Caleb's "original songs" to his baby sister, Emma.

ETHAN WATERMEIER Ethan is delighted to make his debut with The Little Theatre On The Square, performing some of his absolute favorite songs (not to mention some of the best musical theatre ever written.) Hailing from Chicago, Ethan recent- ly portrayed Billy Bigelow in a run of Carousel at Theatre at the Center. Other credits include: Peter Stossel in The Christmas Schooner at Bailiwick Repertory, Gotterdammerung at Lyric Opera of Chicago, and

Neville Craven in The Secret Garden and Silas Phelps in Big River at Wagon Wheel Theatre. Ethan also appeared as Billy Bigelow and El Gallo in The Fantasticks, among other roles, at Northwestern University, where he received his B.M. degree in 1995. As always, much love to his unbe- lievable parents and his loving dog, Merlin.

WHITNEY WILCOXSON Whitney is very happy to be making his Little Theatre debut! He comes to us by way of a little town in the North East, Queens, NYC. Regionally he has done such pro- ductions as Camelot at Harrah's in Atlantic City, Count De Chandon in Phantom, Freddy in My Fair Lady and Paul Bratter in Barefoot In The Park. He just finished the New York Toy Fair where he had the starring role of Jonny Quest. Whitney would like to take this time to

thank his wife Patricia for being the light in his life.
