DIRECTOR’S NOTE

CAST

Thomas Schnaible (JIM HARDY) is delighted to return to The Firehouse Theatre for an absolutely endearing show. He holds a BFA in Musical Theatre and a BA in Psychology from Texas Tech University and is excited for the opportunities in DFW theatre! Previous roles include Chad in Disaster! (Theatre Frisco), William Shakespeare in Shakespeare in Love (Garland Civic Theatre), Buddy in Elf (CenterStage TheatreWorks) and Man #3 in A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder (The Firehouse Theatre). When not performing, you might find him mentoring aspiring actors going through college auditions, playing video games, at the D&D table, or biking on the bike he definitely spent too much money on for it not to be used. He wants to thank his phenomenal cast, crew, and creative team for welcoming and supporting him in this busy experience. Lastly, he thanks his amazing siblings, Miles and Grayson, and his fantastic girlfriend for always supporting his dreams. Have a smile and enjoy the show! @thomasschnaible

Jolie graduated in May from The University of Texas at Arlington where she received her BFA in Musical Theatre and Dance Minor. She was most recently seen at UTA as Sonya in Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812. When not performing, Jolie enjoys playing piano and drinking lots of caffeine. Enjoy the show, and Happy Holidays! 

Brooke Matthews (LINDA MASON) is a Dallas-based actor and model, and she is very excited to be back at Firehouse Theatre after starring as Sherrie Christian in Rock of Ages. Some of her other recent Dallas theatre credits include Bonnie & Clyde at GPAC (Bonnie Parker) and Shrek the Musical at Upright Theatre (Princess Fiona). She would like to thank her parents, her sister Kaelyn, and her close friends for their continuous love and support. She hopes you enjoy the show as much as she does!

Sarah Floyd (she/her) (LOUISE) after having a blast last Christmas season as Rose/Ensemble in the Holiday Inn at Theatre Arlington, is thrilled to Shake the Blues Away as Louise! Sarah is grateful to her family for supporting her love of performing; especially Jacob for being an equal partner who always does bedtime for the boys so she can be free to rehearse, perform, and follow her dreams. In addition to performing, Sarah is an Associate Producer for SheDFW (a branch of SheNYC Arts), helping to bring new theatrical works to the stage that feature female, non-binary, and trans authors. She also loves to make a joyful noise unto the Lord by volunteering her time leading the church choir. Regional Credits: Charlotte Sowerberry in Oliver (Hale Centre Theatre, UT), Martha in High School Musical: On Stage (Alhambra Theatre & Dining, FL).

Doug Fowler (DANNY) is thrilled to be celebrating the holiday season at The Firehouse Theatre in Holiday Inn! He’s no stranger to The Firehouse, where he has schemed as Iago in Aladdin the Dual Language Version, lawyered up as Professor Callahan in Legally Blonde, kept a very watchful eye on River City as Mayor Shinn in The Music Man, and delivered peak butler energy as Underling in The Drowsy Chaperone (both times!). Across DFW, Doug has tackled everything from glamorous drag couture as Hugo/Loco Chanelle in Everybody’s Talking About Jamie (Uptown Players), to full-tilt villainy as the bombastic Bishop of Basingstoke in Jekyll & Hyde (Lyric Stage), to show-stopping royal attitude as the Pharaoh in Aida (Uptown Players), and even a bit of festive military charm as General Waverly in White Christmas (Theatre Denton). He also has played Benjamin Franklin in 1776 (Plano Repertory Theatre and Theatre Arlington), which is the closest he’s ever come to founding a nation — or inventing bifocals. When not onstage, Doug can be found hanging holiday lights with questionable ladder decisions, humming showtunes with zero apology, and continuing his lifelong debate over whether Christmas decorations should go up before Thanksgiving (he says yes—don’t @ him).

He sends lots of happy holly jolly wishes to his family, cast, crew, and audiences for a very merry, very theatrical holiday season!
