Garth Allen are repertory company members Jeff Angus as Vernon, Brad Emes as Roger Doremus, Sandra Fragale as Rosa Gonzales, Dani Holden as Mrs. Bassett, Rita Lynham as Mrs. Winemiller, Sylvester Pilgrim as Dusty and Archie Kramer,James Marshall as Dr. John Buchanan Sr., Zoellyn Onn as Rosemary, Pierre Rajotte as Reverend Winemiller, Sara Van Buskirk as Nellie Ewell, Will van der Zyl as Dr. John Buchanan Jr., Alan Washbrook as Gonzales, and Debbie Yuen as Alma Winemiller.

 

Stage Centre Productions, under the founding artistic leadership of L. Garth Allen, is a 60-person strong repertory company of Toronto area artists committed to presenting the classics from the world theatrical canon.
