Daniel Summerstay acted in his first FSF show in 2018, and, as soon as he put on a mop head and a dress in A Midsummer Night’s Dream and convinced the Frederick Shakespeare Festival that was comedy, they have not let him leave since. You may’ve seen him as Silvius in As You Like It in 2025 or as Sir Andrew Aguecheek in Twelfth Night in 2023. When he’s not dancing like a monkey onstage, Christine and Deanna keep him in the costume closet. If you’re reading this, please send food and water; all Daniel’s had is the vodka spray and Lysol they use on the costumes.

Rebecca Summerstay is a Theatrical Design student at Brigham Young University, in Provo, UT. She has chiefly studied lighting design but has recently expanded into the world of costumes. You may have seen her co-costume design for The Tempest last summer with The Endangered Species Project and probably haven’t seen her costume design for the student production of Come From Away performed at her university. Rebecca is very grateful for the supportive community she has found here, both personally and professionally. She’d like to thank Christine Mosere, Deanna Kinzie, and Kayla Swain for all their support and care. Rebecca is also especially delighted to be working alongside her husband, who plays Jack Worthing. She hopes you get swept away by the hilarity of the characters and that you enjoy the show along with them!
