Last season for her direction of The All Night Strut, Ms Britton was awarded the NAACP Award for Best Direction in a Musical for a smaller theatre and multiple Valley Theatre League ADA awards. Acting credits include Calamity Jane, The Night of January 16th and original musical adaptations of A Tale of Two Cities, Spoon River and It's a Wonderful Life. She most recently played Diana Morales in A Chorus Line. Noel would like to thank the entire cast of Inside Out for their hard work and dedication. Diana March (Sage) is ecstatic to be back working with the WHCT at this beautiful new venue. Some of Diana's Favorite's: Performing her one-woman-show Spontaneous-Combustion-In-Red-Boots at the Cinegrill, Helena in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Catherine in Pippin, Kathryn in The Hound of The Baskervilles and Carla/Caroline in Go Back for Murder (for which she received a best actress award). Miss March studies at The Beverly Hills Playhouse. Diana thanks her Mom & family for their constant support. A special thanks to Noel, Jon, Patty, Holly & this sensational cast-o-women for making this such an amazing experience! Elizabeth Marone (Liz Rogers) earned her degree in Musical Theatre from Long Island University. Some of the roles she has played include Velma in Chicago, Nancy in Oliver and Rizzo in Grease. A native New Yorker, Liz had a 12-year advertising career there, as well as performing in several cabarets. In Los Angeles since 1994, her company, Elizabeth Marone Productions produced numerous actors' showcases and she is now raising a family. "Thanks to my friends and family for their help. Thank you Sam and Jake, my angels, for letting me go every night. Thank you Dean, for your devotion and support... no matter what. Danté Montgomery (Dena White) acting experience covers film, television and commercials, as well as theatre. "I give all praise and thanks to God for blessing me with life, love, family and my gifts. Thank you Father for being a lamp for my feet and a light for the path that you have placed before me so that I may pursue the desires of my heart. Thank you Jon, Noel, and Patty for giving me the opportunity to truly experience 'Reaching Up'. And to everyone always remember... Impossibilities are merely things, which we have not yet learned. Be Blessed." Bonnie Robertson (Grace) began her theatrical career in Northern California with appearances in Oklahoma, West Side Story, Bye, Bye Birdie and many others. After college, she toured with the USO Troupe, which toured Europe. She sang backup with Jose Feliciano and Johnny Nash and recorded a CD with the band "Longshot." She is happy to be back in musical comedy. She starred in Jesus Christ Superstar, Acts, a Rock Opera and in WHCT as Madame DeFarge in the production of A Tale of Two Cities, for which she won a Woody Award. She is thrilled to be working in Inside Out with such a wonderful group of talented woman. Courtney Ter-Velde (Molly Gorman) is in her third production with WHCT.
