have given their ideas, sweat, and time to the Marshalltown Community

more than a dark room. We celebrate your generous gift to our
community!
If
you
have participated in an MCT production in the past, in any capacity,
please take your bow with the folks on these pages. Contact the MCT
Web Site Information Director and arrange to be included.

Aaron WALKER
Marshalltown, IA
Aaron thought it would be
different to try his hand at acting, so he auditioned to be one of the
orphans in our 2008 summer musical, OLIVER! When he's not in
school and attempting various experiments in science class, he enjoys a
well rounded schedule of baseball, soccer, Lego's, gardening, miniature
golf, and playing the piano. Aaron said he does have one favorite
thing to do, though, "I like to go off the drop slide at the Aquatic
Center!"

everything!"

Jordan
WELLS
Marshalltown, IA
CASH ON DELIVERY was
Jordan Wells' first production here at MCT during the Spring of 2010,
playing the role of Norman "Dickie" McDonald. He is no stranger to
the stage, however, since he has previously appeared in theatrical
productions while attending Marshalltown Community College. As he
explains, "I
was born and raised in Marshalltown. I have always been interested in
theatre, but in high school I was always too busy with the many sports I
participated in. Janel Lageschulte helped me discover this new
crush I have with acting. As the director of my first two plays,
she showed me how to have fun and let loose with a character. I
love doing comedies because rehearsals and ultimately the performances
are about having fun."

Barb
WILLIAMS
Marshalltown, IA
THE WOMEN (2003) was an
“acting” debut for Barb. She was wanting to be a “stagehand” since
it was her first time doing anything of this sort. She and her
daughter auditioned for fun and she thinks they needed people to fill the
“tiny” parts. That’s why she tried this wonderful, funny play. The
only other time she did “stage” was a very long time ago in school, doing
music and once pretending to be one of the Beatles for a 4H project.
