Bard in the Yard is different, unique, one-of-a-kind. It's Shakespeare outdoors and in your face. “Everyone I know needs to go watch this!”
Derek Burwell has had the pleasure of working with various community theater projects for the last 21 years. Highlighted roles have been Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet, Leslie in Love, Sex, and the IRS, Puck in Bard in the Yard, and Roma in Glengarry Glen Ross. Mr. Burwell has recently been seen in GLP's The Odd Couple as Felix, Agador in The Birdcage and in Poe & Pints. He appreciates theater for the opportunity to examine this great experiment of life from different angles, and best of all gets to share what he finds with others. When not enjoying a romp through the lands of make believe, Derek tortures dirt for a living at a local mine.
Derek Burwell reprises his role as Puck for the fifth time in Bard in the Yard 4 and adds his skills to A Midsummer Night's Dream.
From an early age, Laura loved to perform. She danced competitively throughout her childhood and put on weekly (if not daily) plays for her parents along with her siblings and neighborhood friends. Since then, her love for the theatre has only continued to grow. She has been a part of several Great Basin College theatre productions and other plays throughout the community. She feels very lucky to be able to do something she's so passionate about with one of the people she loves the most, her husband. She'd like to thank her friends and family for continuously supporting her and helping out with baby Sampson during rehearsals.
Mrs. Cdebaca brings her talents to the roles of Maria in Love's Labours Lost, Venus in Venus and Adonis, and Moth in A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Nick Cdebaca has been doing theatre for the past 9 years. Sometimes the divine forces coalesce and he can act with his wife. You can find him vigorously walking around mountains in his off time.
Nick Cdebaca returns to Bard in the Yard and with his skills brings life to the roles of Dogberry in Much Ado About Nothing, the Porter in Macbeth, and Adonis in Venus and Adonis.
Diann Fromherz discovered a love of Shakespeare watching Kenneth Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing, and the love affair has continued ever since. She was lucky enough to get to perform Hero in that same play, and has performed in every installment of Bard in the Yard since its inception. Her recent credits include Poe & Pints, White Christmas, From Broadway with Love, and the Speaking Out monologues.
Bard in the Yard veteran and local talent Diann Fromherz takes on the roles of Kate in The Taming of the Shrew, Ariel in The Tempest, and Quince in A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Meghan Micheli made her Elko debut with Silver Stage Players in Bard in the Yard. The homegrown Texas native has been on a stage since the tender age of 6, playing in various roles from a British, Tea-Drinking Dragon to a mother during the Spanish Revolution. Some favored local roles the actress has undertaken include Montresor from Poe and Pints: The Cask of Amontillado, Fantine from Les Miserables, and Belle from The Last U.S. Mail Stage Robbery. By day, you can find her educating the local youth on the importance of health, but, by night, (when she’s not playing on a stage or appreciating the arts in her local community) she can be found imbibing in copious amounts of coffee, reading books she never got around to while attending Texas Tech University.
Meghan is challenged with using her skills to breath life into the roles of the Princess in Love's, Labours Lost, Caliban in The Tempest, and Titania in A Midsummer Night's Dream.
