CAST BIOS

Terri Simpson - Linda Stone RCMP Law Instrucor

Terri is excited to be a member of "Law and Order Canadian Files" cast. Although this is her debut performance on a Celebrations stage, she has many years of experience in song and dance. Past performances include Chicago, Footloose and West Side Story. Terri would like to thank God for this amazing opportunity and our audience for showing your appreciation with laughter and applause.

Gabriel Stinson - Lenny Crisco NYC Detective

Gabriel (the handsome man to your left) is excited to be back on the Celebrations stage for a third time. Previously, Gabe was known as the young, wild and witty cross-dressing Miles Krame in "Frazier: The College Years." Last year he was also seen as the grumpy old geezer, Oscar Sass, in the production of "Corner Gassed." Now he is excited to wear the hardened gumshoes of a New York cop. He is thrilled to be working with such a talented group of people once again. Speaking of talented people, he would like to thank his supportive wife for understanding and joining him as he warbled his way through the preparation process. He hopes you will like this murder mystery fun, merriment and laughs.

Nicola Devine - Nancy Pureheart RCMP Cadet

This is Nicola's 7th show with Celebrations. She's been a pirate, a movie star, a desperate housewife, even a man, but she'll admit she's always wanted to be a cop. Her antics over the years have seen her performing all over the world. From the Edinburgh Fringe Festival to the Grand Hyatt Singapore, but nothing compares to dear old Edmonton for this Alberta girl. She's delighted to be working with some old friends, excited to make new ones, and was mildly heartbroken about the breakup of Aerosmith, but it is slowly but surely getting over it. Enjoy the show.

Jeff Rivet - Donny Do-Right RCMP Cadet

Jeff Rivet is an Edmonton born and raised. He has wanted to be a star since the ripe age of 5. As a potential star, he likes to think he is a good triple threat and he also studied his craft at Grant MacEwen in their Theatre Arts program. Focusing more in musical theatre, he has done such shows as Little Women, Good News, Hot Mikado, and the Children of Eden with Grant MacEwan, as well as Alice, Pushin' up Daisies: A Musical, and Myths and Hymns with the Edmonton Fringe Festival, and Dr. Horrible's sing-a-long Blog with Fort McMurray's Interplay Festival. Also, if you happened to catch CBC's Triple Sensation, he was a top 40 contestant in the west in their search for Canada's best singer/actor/dancer. Being his first trip to Winnipeg ever, he is stoked to be part of the Celebrations team and couldn't be prouder. Here's one more step to stardom!

Brandi Chemerika - Connie Ribrosa ADA

Random facts about Brandi: She's a lefty, her favourite holiday is Hallowe'en, and she's a sucker for a Bombay martini, Matthew Fox and bubblemint gum. When she is not at work, you can find her in her car, or on a plane to places like Disney World - most recently. She once climbed an African mountain and has plans for island living when she finishes her registered holistic nutrition. She has 6 best friends, 483 facebook friends, 4 sisters (2 of which are real) and at this moment she feels like she just finished an online dating application and a large run on sentence. This marks show number 11 with Celebrations. You may remember her most recent performance, in the role of Ms. Lucky in "Thank You Mr. Presley." ENJOY!

Lew Wetherell - Dwight Ewan Superintendent RCMP

A familiar face from the past, Lew is pleased to be returning to the Celebrations stage after a 2 ½ year hiatus. Having last appeared as King Richard in "Magical Mystery Tour" for Celebrations, you may also remember him from some of the dozen or so other shows he has done here, such as "Dragnet Squad", "Harry and Sally's Wedding", "Knaughty Knights" and "Don't touch that dial." There are others, but Lew doesn't remember the names because Lew is old!
