CAST & CREW BIOS
Christian Harris is a DMV-based actor and is excited to work with the Endangered Species Theatre! He is a recent graduate from Hofstra University, and last October, he played Mrs Jennys in Sense and Sensibility at the Maryland Ensemble Theatre. Christian would like to thank his parents, family, and friends for always supporting him.
Mary Lynn Hinde has dedicated 21 years to Frederick,Maryland, as a powerful advocate for the marginalized and vulnerable groups, including those facing poverty, mental and physical health challenges, housing insecurity, and discrimination.
Mary Lynn has been a vocal advocate for her own mental health, seeking ways to share her journey with the community. This year's revival of "Calling Dr. Freud" is one of three community based theatrical projects that she helped create and bring to life. These productions aim to shed light on advocacy and education around these topics, fostering understanding and reducing stigma that affects our lives and community.
Jane Hufstedler is so pleased to be a small part of this relevant and much needed production about mental illness. She is in her fifth year of the ESP Theatre’s Retired Seniors Advanced Acting Class, under Christine Mosere’s excellent direction.
Talia Segal is an actor, singer, songwriter and musician who lives in Frederick. She’s a recent graduate of The William Esper Studio Actor Training Program in NYC, and has appeared previously with ESP in The Canterville Ghost. For more information about Talia’s music visit www.taliasegalsongs.com.
Rikki Howie Lacewell (Choreographer) is excited to work again with ESP Theater and to add movement to such a monumental piece. Thanks to the cast and crew for being welcoming and authentic to my creative whims. May the show move all who see. www.confidencetheatrics.com
Christine Mosere, (Director) began her directing career in NYC – working at LaMaMa, BAM!, and Playwrights Horizons. She was a founding member of the Lucille Lortel award-winning “Peccadillo Theatre.” After time in Seattle where she directed for the Richard Hugo House and ACT Theatre’s Buster’s Cafe, she moved to Frederick and fell in love with this city. She is grateful to Aaron Angello who teamed with her in May of 2018 to present Ten by Tennessee (a series of 10 short Tennessee Williams plays) and other Actively Staged Readings and over the next few years helped ESPtheatre become what it is today. Aaron is now co-Artistic Director of Ardeo Theatre Company (go see their Baltimore Waltz coming soon to the campus of Hood College!) Christine is thrilled to be co-Directing Calling Dr. Freud with Matt Bannister (a true dream of a directing partner!)
