Sara Trowbridge (Queen Katherina) is delighted to be playing the bad girl this time. She is a Pacific Northwest theater veteran, and was last seen here this year on the mainstage as the Mom in The Last Starfighter, and on the TYA stage as Passepartout in Around the World in 80 Days. Other favorite roles include Belinda in Noises Off (SecondStory Repertory), Sissy in the world premier musical The Hours of Life (Theatre22), God in Wild Party (Sound Theatre Company), and Jane Banbury in Fallen Angels (Theater Schmeater).

Adrian Cerrato (Captain Hook) is exited to jump into the role of Hook, stare down that clock swallowing crocodile once more, confront that pesky Pan...and amend his naughty ways as a nautical ne’er do well. Adrian is also pleased to be returning to Theater for Audiences at SecondStory Repertory, where he was previously seen as Doctor Livesey and several pirates in Treasure Island, the Dad in Knuffle Bunny, and the Beast in Charles Way’s Beauty and the Beast. Adrian received his BA in Drama from the University of Washington, but forgot everything he learned there after spending too much time in Neverland. This play will be an awfully big adventure!

She studied theater at Western Washington University and spends her days working at Village Theatre as the costume shop assistant. Some of her favorite acting credits include: Into the Woods (The Baker’s Wife), Nunsense (Sister Mary Hubert), and Still Life with Iris (Iris). She would like to thank her friends and family for their constant support and love.
