Deanna Kinzie is thrilled to be returning to The Canterville Ghost as Virginia. She is the Co-Artistic Director of ESPtheatre and has been involved in virtually every aspect of theatre, including lighting, sound, set design, costumes, stage management, writing, directing and acting (many of these roles she took on in this show). As an actor, past shows at ESP include Sherlock Sundays, Calling Dr. Freud, and understudying the fairies and mechanicals in the Shakespeare Festival’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

She would like to thank her fellow cast and crew for being some of the most fun, helpful, and overall amazing people she has worked with, and for making this show an absolute joy to be a part of.

Kayla Swain is a 2024 graduate of Hood College, looking to pursue a professional career in the performing arts. She has been working with the Endangered Species theatre Project since 2021 in a variety of roles. Most recently, she stage managed the company’s production of 4am Friends and played Ross in their production of the Scottish play. She is very excited to be working with the company again and to be making her directorial debut with them. She would like to thank you for your support and hopes you enjoy the show.
