WHO’S WHO
Angela Willis (Peggy Swift) - has come to the conclusion that
she is smitten with theatre. Since moving to TN in 2008, Angela has
been in twelve productions at Tusculum, and would love to do more
if she “didn’t have to eat three times a day!” Her favorite roles would
have to be Anna (“The King and I”) and Lucy (“You’re a Good Man,
Charlie Brown”). In addition to making a living and living life, Angela
enjoys playing music, traveling, and growing her triple-threat skills.
She would like to say thanks to God (for everything) and a dear thank
you to GTG for having her along for the ride.
Brandon Moorman (Ben Banks) - Brandon has been doing
theatre for 4 years now and has been in everything musical theater to
ballet. His most recent show in the area was “The Addams Family
Musical,” and he is currently working on the Tony award winning rock
opera, “American Idiot.”
Bree Masters (Tim’s Woman) - is a 16-year veteran of
Theatre-at-Tusculum. Her first performance at the Capitol was in
2001. She is a licensed fire performance artist and has been a haunt
actor for the last two seasons at Frightmare Manor in Talbott, TN.
Carter DelSorbo (Tommy) - is thrilled to be involved in GTG’s
inaugural performance. He has been involved in theatre in the Greeneville
area for 7 years. Most recently, he was Cousin Itt in the “Addams Family”
and a ring-leader in “How to Eat Like a Child.” He is a high school
freshman and an active member of Marilyn duBrisk’s GLAWPIGT group.
Cathleen Charleson (Miss Bellamy) is thrilled to be a part of
this inaugural GTG production. Originally from Lexington, KY, she
spent many years in NYC, appearing Off-Off-Broadway as Emily
Dickinson (“The Belle of Amherst”), Millie Montag (the wife in
“Fahrenheit 451”, NYC musical premiere), and many roles in the
original “live soap opera” “Sordid Lives,” including Hillary R. Clinton
(and her identical cousin from PA), Kookie Gonzalez (based on
Googie Gomez of The Ritz), and Leona Helmsley (where she
arguably coined the phrase “You’re Fired!”). She has appeared locally
most notably as Lt. Nellie Forbush in “South Pacific.”

young daughters and a beautiful wife who puts up with him. Pleased to be a

and at NPAC. He has also been seen making a play or two on the soccer

Doak Elementary. She is ecstatic about getting back on the stage again, as it

first production.
Josh Beddingfield (Stanley Banks) - is excited to be making his
GTG debut as Stanley Banks. He is fairly new to performing, following
his children to the stage as they have taken part in many recent area
productions. His lovely wife, Courtney works with makeup on many of
those shows. The opportunity to share a passion for theatre with his
entire family is a special blessing. He is humbled to be playing a role
made famous by Hollywood legends Spencer Tracy & Steve Martin.
Katherine Dooly (Delilah) - is glad to join GTG for the 1st show as
she returns to the stage after a 3-year break. A life-long theatre geek,

even becoming director of her childhood children’s theatre. Notable
