MARK BOLES (Dub) is thrilled to be working with Pendermer Productions for the third time and feels honored to be acting with such a talented cast. In the production, he plays a husband and father and knows those are not easy shoes to walk in. He started acting late in life and trained at the Donna Belajac Acting studio in Pittsburgh. His first play was playing the ghost of Marley in A CHRISTMAS CAROL. He went on to perform in SEX PLEASE, WE’RE SIXTY and then LOVE LETTERS. 2023 was a particularly busy year having worked with Pendemer in the Spring in DEARLY DEPARTED, followed by the play NOW AND THEN at Iron Horse Theatre and finishing the year working with Old Schoolhouse Player in LITTLE TOWN OF CHRISTMAS. His day job is that of a physician, but being on stage has shown him healing occurs just as much through the arts. He thanks his wife Valerie for allowing him to pursue.

CALVIN BROOKINS (Justin) started his first acting classes at CCAC in 2019 where he eventually acted in his first play, PITTSBURGH IN THE 80’S. Since then he has performed in many other shows, such as MISERABLE CREATURES for the The Rage of the Stage Players, where he has the pleasure of playing Byron, and most recently PRIDE AND PREJUDICE for the Pittsburgh Savoyards, where he played Charles Bingley. Calvin enjoys connecting with the audience and looks forward to once again working with Pendemer Productions!

MICHELLE CEFALO (Frankie) is excited to be appearing in this show with Pendemer Productions, where she previously acted in SEPTEMBER CUPID and DEARLY DEPARTED. She most recently appeared in THE CHRISTMAS HOME TOUR and FRANK’S 75th CHRISTMAS for Stoops Ferry Productions. She very recently completed work on the film VINDICATION. Michelle, a graduate of West Virginia University, studies acting with Jamie Slavinsky, Jillian O’Neil and Jean Zazour. She is currently represented by the Talent Group. Michelle sends her thanks to her family for their love and support.
