Benjamin Thacker

Guy
Benjamin is thrilled to be working on "A Guy For Now" with Old Dog Theater! Coming back to the stage with this piece has been exhilarating for Benjamin; to tell the simple story of a Guy trying to "get" himself, discovering his sore spots, learning what it means to stand up on them... it's timeless, it's precious, it's persistent. It's a rollicking good time! Thank you to every artist who lent a hand in bringing this piece to life, and to my beloved friends whom I would be so poor without.

Joel Dammeier

Gentleman/John Fopdoodle Von Rube III
Joel is a creative artist, storyteller, and first-time Fringe performer. He loves drawing, improvisation, and collaborative play (à la D&D), and has studied Meisner technique to further explore truthful, spontaneous performance. Although this is his first Fringe show, audiences may remember his breakout role as a Kid Who Steals Grapes from a random Easter pageant 20+ years ago. He is grateful to be sharing this adventure with such a wonderful cast and crew.

Michael Quadrozzi

Gentleman/Billy
Michael is delighted to be performing in his third Minnesota Fringe Festival with this talented cast and creative team. A Twin Cities based actor and playwright raised in the hills of western New England, Michael has been performing since high school and believes that the vulnerability of shared spaces makes live theatre magical, intimate, and healing. His self-produced and written solo show, AGAINST MY WILL, won the Golden Lanyard Staff Pick in the 2025 Minnesota Fringe. A full-time freelance actor, he performs in commercial and independent film, theaters all over the Twin Cities, and works with companies training first responders in mental health crisis intervention. You can see him next as Dr. Einstein in ARSENIC AND OLD LACE, Sept. 30 to Nov. 1, at Sidekick Theater.

Alexandria Rumsey

Clowno/Prophet
Alexandria is an actor, filmmaker, photographer, and full time over thinker. She enjoys telling stories in as many forms as possible and has a longstanding habit of turning passing interests into full-fledged creative projects. When not performing, she can often be found making art, wearing something she made herself, or giving an unnecessarily committed Broadway performance from the driver’s seat of her car. She is thrilled to be part of this year’s Fringe Festival.

Erin Pecha

Lady/Barbara
Erin Pecha is a film actress that has found herself back on stage. (Who are you people and where are the cameras??) Since her triumphant return to theater, she has enjoyed an ensemble role in SMCT's production of the Hunchback of Notre Dame, and has also played the widow Gina Rivers in the Jury Experience.
