Ms. Sherman's credits include Dumb Show, the Carbonell Award winning Best Ensemble Two Sisters and a Piano and in the World Premiere of Red Tide at The Promethean Theatre. She reprised her role in Red Tide when it traveled to the Minnesota Fringe Festival.

Ms. Sherman has also performed at the Shores, Juggerknot, Dreamer's Theatre, FTF, and in the School Tour for GableStage as Lady M last year. She is the Co-founder and Producing Artistic Director of The Promethean Theatre, the professional theatre company in residence at Nova Southeastern University. Deborah is most importantly Julian's mommy.

Some of Robert's favorite roles include Lucius in Tom Walker (New Theatre-Carbonell Nomination for Best Supporting Actor), Kent in King Lear and Adam in Someone Who'll Watch Over Me. This performance is dedicated to his wife Maria and the two finest actors he knows: Beatrice and Lawrence, his 23-month old daughter and 5-year old son.
 GREGG WEINER (Paul Zara) is tickled silly to be back with Mr. Adler and this cast for another round of good times and theatre.

He was here at Gable Stage in Speed-the-Plow last season. Prior to that, he played Barry in the Promethean Theatre's production of Dumb Show and played the Devil in Broadsword with his good friends at Mad Cat. Gregg also acted in two Connor McPherson plays back to back, Seafarer at Mosaic in Plantation (for which his role as Sharkey won him a Carbonell Award for acting) and Shining City here at GableStage. He also won a Carbonell Award for Best Ensemble for Tracers at Juggernknot Theater, and recently received the Silver Palm Award for Outstanding Actor in Seafarer, Dumbshow, and Speed-the-Plow. Gregg appeared in Transporter 2 and the TV show, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia as well as doing numerous commercials and voice-overs. He would like to thank Joe once again for allowing him to do what he loves and the cast and crew for their hard work.
