Kelsey SAWTELLE
Marshalltown, IA

As a student at the University of Northern Iowa, Kelsey was not only studying to be a speech and language pathologist, but she also pursued a Dance, Spanish, and Education triple minor, which led her to comment, "I will be in college forever." She took time out during the summer of 2008 to be a chorus member in OLIVER!  With the free time she has remaining, she enjoys watching strange Indie films, knitting, and singing in her car.  "It's a charmed life."

Steve SCHEIDING
Marshalltown, IA

Steve was last seen on our stage, portraying Uncle Ben in our 2003 production of DEATH OF A SALESMAN.  He started at MCT in 1985 by volunteering to help make stage flats.  He was stage manager for Agatha Christie's TEN LITTLE INDIANS, and his first acting experience on our stage was in A THOUSAND CLOWNS.  Steve has demonstrated his ability to be "thoroughly theatre" by working on the "dark side of the lights" as a member of the lighting and sound crew for various productions as well.  He can truly be considered a "seasoned" thespian, as he has been acting since called upon to portray King David in an “E. U. B. Methodist Church” play at a mere five years old!

Julie SQUIERS
Marshalltown, IA
Julie became associated with MCT during the 1980's because Sandy Schlesinger told her that she was 'adequate.'  She has had roles in OCTETTE BRIDGE CLUB, STEEL MAGNOLIAS, LOVE LETTERS, and appeared in two separate productions of SOCIAL SECURITY, and in one of them she was joined by Rich, her husband.  She and Rich shared the stage again in MCT's GALA TREASURES 2006 fundraiser.  She fills her spare time with walking, gardening, and keeping involved with her 10 grandchildren, but her favorite activity?  "Directing my husband!!"
