What a delight! This cast has been so much fun to work with. The kids are great and the adults are wonderful. Sherry has so enjoyed directing this show. Such a talented cast, and she is so very proud of all of them. The show saw many changes in its short rehearsal run, but they held together like troopers. Sherry enjoys both directing and being onstage. She was last seen as Nurse Kelly in “Harvey”, and has had such roles as Ouiser (“Steel Magnolias”) and Blanche (“Streetcar Named Desire”). She will be taking on a new challenge in September, when she plays Dona Margot in an ALL Spanish speaking production called “Sirena” (thanks Willmer for having faith in her). She and husband Paul will be celebrating 30 years of happy marriage this year, and she has 3 beautiful grown children and 4 adorable rambunctious grandchildren. Sherry recently received 2 nominations for the 2013 Fusion Awards, and has a true passion for theater and is so happy to have the support of such a great community of loving people surrounding her! Please continue to support the arts in any way you can!

Whatever you know about Harry Potter movies and books, throw it out for now! This Spoof is anything but !!  

The character names are there, but they are very different from what you know of them. Hogwarts has changed 

a lot. The Great Hall is now a cafeteria, the Kitchen Elves run the place and they are wild. Hagrid has lost his “pet 

Fluffy”. Professor Snape has a change bigger than anyone. But the big question is : “Who is the Master”? Dobby 

and Winky know, but they are so afraid to speak of it.  Everything is changing, and nothing is as it seems for 

Harry, Hermione and Ron.  Can Harry find the Master in time, and will his many trips to the future help him in his 

quest? Will Hermione use her Time Turner to make it to all of her classes without getting caught? Can Ron finally 

get a good sandwich or will he be left eating rotten goat cheese? Will Draco finally get what he wants and be 

able to take over Hogwwarts once and for all?  Will the Living Paintings allow access to the rooms they need to 

enter to find their answers?  Remember, this is a spoof…a parody…so ANYTHING is possible!! So, get your Train 

pass to Hogwarts, don’t be late. Grab your wand, your Bertie Bott’s and watch the hilarity unfold. Watch out 

though, Rita Skeeter may be listening and you may end up in the Hogwarts Tabloid if you aren’t careful.

Steve Werner, Marketing Director: Steve was born in the dust bowl of SW Oklahoma and raised by two wonderful parents in his hometown of Huntsville, Alabama. He developed a love for theatre participating in both high school and college productions but never ventured back on stage until he happened upon New Dawn Theater two years ago. Steve brought his mother and son to see a production and instantly became a fan and supporter of New Dawn’s version of community theatre. Steve recently performed in ‘The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial’ and ‘M*A*S*H’ productions at New Dawn and wants to see his son on stage with him one day soon. Steve’s 30 years of business background has been in contracts and financial management for software startups as well as the Federal contracting arena. He passionately believes that, among other things, the arts are what separate us from the lower species and, if we don’t financially support arts in the local community, we will do a great disservice to our children and legacy.

Karyn West, The Master: This is Karyn's 5th on stage appearance at NDTC. Some previous shows were “The Three Musketeers” “Arabian Nights” & “Sleeping Beauty”. New Dawn is my home away from home and it is good to be back on stage again, especially working with my daughter! I'd like to thank Sherry for her encouragement and believing in me. This has been a great cast to work with and fun seeing this production come together. Thank you to all my friends and family and to each patron who has come to see the show and for your support of the arts. Laugh along and enjoy!

Brett Wilson, Future Potter: Brett recently moved to the Gwinnett area after living in Cobb County for most of his life. This will be his first time acting on stage since Drama Club in High School and he's looking forward to the opportunity. Brett is a 26 year old aspiring to someday own his own business and plans to return to school to become a certified automotive technician soon. He credits his future wife Hannah West for encouraging him to join her in this play. Sofia Hart, Daffodil: Sofia Hart is a rising sixth grader. When not watching the British sci-fi television show Doctor Who, she spends her time reading or writing. She is an accomplished pianist and enjoys playing soccer.

Halle VandenOever, Carrot: Halle is 11-years-old and is following in her talented family’s footsteps with acting! She has appeared on stage as a mouse in “Cinderella”, the nine-of-hearts in “Alice in Wonderland”, Ignorance in “A Christmas Carole”, and the Gatekeeper in “The Wizard of Oz”. Along with her twin sister Emma, she enjoys soccer, playing outside, and bugging her little brother, Cooper! Chuck Mason, Future Cop: Chuck has been associated with New Dawn for over 7 yrs. He loves the theater and loves to be on stage. One of his favorite songs is ‘There is No Business like Show Business’ Where else could you be down and when you step on the stage and hear people laugh or hear people sigh or even cry it lifts your spirits. He has been so fortunate to be on stage with some of the greatest actors anywhere. Chuck would like to leave you with one more thought: if you have a dream, don’t waste it, live out your dream. If you ever wanted to be on the stage, all it takes is to come out and audition for one of our productions and who knows you just might be writing your own bio.
