Rover's Mission Searching for treasures, new and rediscovered,

for theatre "off the beaten path."

Rover Dramawerks produces lost or forgotten works of well-known authors, revives excellent scripts that have suffered from lack of exposure,

and discovers unknown gems of the stage.

Who's Who Michael Campbell is a product of the University of Texas Theater Program. After UT he spent two years as the repertory designer for Austin Shakespeare Festival and One World Theater where he received two B Iden Payne Awards and two Austin Critics Table Awards before moving back to Dallas to found his production company Esoteric Visions which has earned four Column Award nominations. Show credits include Romeo and Juliet, Titus Andronicus, The Winters Tale, Julius Caesar (all ASF), Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Border Voices (Austin Area Theater Co-Op), A Christmas Carol (Austin Playhouse), Mack and Mabel (Theatre Three), the regional premier of Die Mommy Die and Valley of the Dolls (Uptown Players), the world premier of Weight (University of Texas Theater Department), My Way, Epic Proportions, A Murder, A Mystery, and a Marriage, Everything in the Garden (Rover Dramawerks), 39 Steps (Repertory Theater Company), Guys and Dolls, Big River, Rags, To Kill a Mockingbird, Cabaret, and numerous shows with The Chicago Ballet and Ballet Austin. All the praise and glory goes to God, many thanks to his parents (for all their support), and his beautiful wife.

Kelly Moore Clarkson is happy to be working with Rover Dramawerks again in More Fun Than Bowling. Kelly was recently in MBS Productions’ Seven Plays in Seven Days portraying Elaine in Carol M. Rice's The Frozen Twin. Other recent roles were FCT's production of Our Town, where she played Mrs. Webb and Rover productions of The Crowd You're in With as Karen, Premiere! as Becky, and Everything in the Garden as Beryl. While Kelly thinks that working with this cast and crew has been more fun than bowling, she knows she couldn't succeed without the active support of her husband and children.

Alexandra Cook started her performing career in Australia as a dancer at the age of three with Ms Jane’s Royal School of Ballet. She was also recognized with the “Encouragement Award” at the age of four from the “Little Nippers” group of the Mona Vale Surf Life Saving Club. She was one of the children in South Garland’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Alexandra was the first Captain of the Austin Academy’s Drill Team and successful in the Garland High School Marching Band. Her theatrical involvement includes backstage work on Rover productions of Gilligan’s Island: the Musical, Little Mary Sunshine and Move Fun Than Bowling. Alexandra is in her first year at Collin College studying Business and Human Family Services

Zoelyn Copeland is a Plano native who recently graduated from the University of Evansville with a Bachelor of Science in Theatre Performance. There, she stage managed the largest student-directed play ever produced at UE, Howard Zinn's Emma, and served as assistant director and flight understudy on A Midsummer Night's Dream. She is pleased to receive her first professional credit from Rover and is seeking career opportunities that combine her love of theatre, her hobby of gaming, and her extreme talent at building spreadsheets.

Jennifer Duggins is returning to the stage after a long hiatus. She previously performed as Sara in the Rover Dramawerks production of Claptrap. Before taking a break from acting to teach, Jennifer was represented by Linda McAlister talent and performed in Lagniappe Productions’ murder mysteries, as Emily in Our Town and Jane Rogers in Bull in a China Shop, as well as many commercials, films and print campaigns. She is very enthusiastic about returning to acting and again seeks representation.

“The Place For Fish” Francis “Hank” Henry is happy to be making his Rover Dramawerks debut. A graduate of Duke University’s Program in Drama, Hank most recently appeared as Twimble in ICT’s How to Succeed...; Father O’Connell in Broken Gears’ American premiere of The Magdalene Whitewash; The Stage Manager in FCT’s Our Town, and Harry Pepper in Contemporary Theater of Dallas’ Barefoot in the Park. His most recent film was In the Land of Fireworks, which debuted at this year’s Dallas International Film Festival. He is represented by Linda McAlister Talent.

Terrie Justus has been involved with Rover since 2002, as a performer, proprieties designer, producer and board member. Her favorite performance was in the title role in Veronica’s Room. She especially enjoyed producing Days of Wine and Roses, and designing props for Star Spangled Girl and Black Comedy. Serving as a board member has been the most challenging and rewarding part of the whole experience. She has also been involved with other theatres in the area: Garland Civic, Rockwall Community, and most recently, as Assistant Director of Half and Half at Pocket Sandwich Theatre.

Abigail Kipp is glad to be scenic designing for Rover again. She likes long walks on the beach, playing with power tools and painting with odd implements. Some of her scenic designs include Tuesdays with Morrie (New Stage Theatre), Little Mary Sunshine, The Crowd You’re in With, and Sunday in New York (Rover). “Thank you Rover for indulging my insanity on this design (again) and thanks to everyone who helped out.” She looks forward to working with Rover again soon.

Darcy Koss was spotted by director Jason Rice while working at the Habitat ReStore. He was immediately taken by her innate organizational talent and asked her to become involved with Rover. She never realized the grave responsibility this would entail. This is her third time to work with Rover (previously on Murder at the Orient Burlesque and Black Comedy) and she loves it! “Thank you for this opportunity and for making it fun!”

Young C. Lee is excited to be making his Rover Dramawerks debut. Young has studied with Fred Curchak and Dr. Venus Opal Reese. His most recent work was as Hal in Proof at UTD. During his acting hiatus, Young has been earning a living as a personal trainer. Young is extremely grateful to Carol Rice for the jump start back into theater and is revved up for more!

Alyssa Miller is from Dallas, TX and has been making costumes for almost a decade, professionally for four years. She does a lot of freelance work during the Halloween season and for conventions. At Six Flags Over Texas, she repaired costumes for the stage productions and Costume Characters. Also, she costumed Rumors for Pocket Sandwich Theatre, and assisted the costume designer for the productions of Rover’s Little Mary Sunshine and Black Comedy.

Devon Miller is a recent graduate of Garland High School. He is currently studying Political Science and Communications at Southern Methodist University and Theatre at Collin College. He has previously been a part of One Night in the Garden and The Invisible Men of Tennessee Williams at MBS Productions as the Stage Manager. He has previously been seen in Twelfth Night and Romeo and Juliet with Junior Players/Shakespeare Dallas and Words with Junior Players.

Jason Rice has directed Rover’s Around the World in 80 Days and Premiere! as well as Rover’s best attended show of 2008, The Runner Stumbles. An award-winning composer and inventor, he counts his greatest artistic achievement being still on the Christmas list of Chicago playwright Anne McGravie, having directed the Regional Premiere of her brilliant script Wrens over ten years ago. Jason has been on the Rover board since it was founded and is the current Vice President of Production.

Kate Werner is ecstatic to be making her Rover Dramawerks debut in More Fun Than Bowling. She was last seen in Bye Bye Birdie (Phyllis) and Spring's Awakening (Wendla). She would like to thank M.A.R, her family and the Parrots for their ongoing support.

JohnK Wright, V made his professional acting debut with Rover’s production of Black Comedy as Millionaire Georg Bamberger. The experience of working with fellow actors, cast members, production, stage and costume designers on this production, and realizing all of the many contributions people make to get a production up and running, made him want to get involved with More Fun Than Bowling. He makes his production staff debut as Sound/Video Operator. He has a Masters Degree in Computer Information Systems from Boston University and was a Mathematics Major at Southeastern Louisiana University. He is a Retired U.S. Army Engineer Officer (Major) and has been teaching high school mathematics since 2001. He lives in Plano with his wife Michelle and their three children.
