![We are excited to share some of the cast of our upcoming production of "Arsenic and Old Lace." Here are Valerie Sullivan and Judy Anderson as Abby and Martha Brewster! To see this fabulous production, get your tickets at lofte.org/tickets or call 402-234-2553. To read more about these performers and our entire cast, please see our program.
Valerie is a new Born-in-a-Barn Player and is excited to join this talented cast. Val lives in Southern California but grew up in nearby Ashland. After moving to California, Valerie pursued her passion for singing/acting and has performed in numerous professional and community theater productions. Some favorite roles include Miss Hannigan in Annie, Reverend Mother in Nunsense, M’Lynn in
Steel Magnolias, Ruth in Blythe Spirit, Rose in Rose Bowl Queens, Charlotte in Moon Over Buffalo, and Sonia in Vonya, Sonia, Masha and Spike, and starred in the comedy revue Bottom’s Up at Gold River Resort in Laughlin, NV. Nebraska will always be home, and Val visits Midwest family frequently. While visiting family in Louisville this summer, her niece convinced her to audition for Arsenic and Old Lace. Thank you, Jen & family, for your love and support.
Judy is excited to be revisiting the Brewster family after playing Abby 12 years ago at LCP. She was most recently seen playing the Godmother in The Lofte’s production of Cinderella this summer. Favorite roles include Mrs. Potts (Beauty and the Beast), Mama Rose (Gypsy), Mother Superior (Sister Act) [at both Lincoln and Omaha Community Playhouses], Golde (Fiddler on the Roof), Bloody Mary (South Pacific), and Mother Superior in numerous Nunsense performances. For 15 years, Judy has performed her own cabarets at James Arthur Vineyards ... December 12 & 13 are upcoming dates! She retired from UNL after 38 years and is proud to be mom to two, grandma to five, and great-grandma to six little kiddos under the age of 6. Also mom to Gypsy, her 3-year-old Shih Tzu.
For information about our entire cast and crew, please see our program. We suggest considering this show rated R due to strong adult language and depictions of violence.](https://scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t39.30808-6/843090128_2080163310079682_3352798809027464934_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=100&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=8w8qNyndTaEQ7kNvwHsnR2V&_nc_oc=AdoXdZeiV99IwnX7wknu8jO7hQi2zQw_SF3O0gkGpgOmezCowqaTg8IDfrmDMFdg7Ng&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=g90w120QYVr-fOnl49byxA&_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQIO68PhcoIU-WyrWiyZQ3IPiFKjhSGeBs79hqz_0SLxG-p3MKIaDEdV8Hro6D-GbiA_ouNqXKuZ&oh=00_AQPfgUk1PJnjEcPjn0KOZ923I1Kjimpuzn1zLGo7UFUf6A&oe=6AD1BEF2)
