Patrick Sharbaugh (Mr. Boddy) is excited to be a part of a budding community theatre is his own Greenfield neighborhood. Although his undergraduate major was chemistry, Patrick spent most of his college years performing in theatre, acting in La Dispute, Picasso at Lapin Agile, The Comedy of Errors, Heaven Can Wait, and The World Goes Round. After graduation, Patrick drifted away from theatre, and chemistry, to pursue a career in software; earning a master’s degree in Software Design and Management. For the past few years, Patrick has co-directed a high school musical and enjoys performances of singing and piano playing for his two children and the occasional karaoke excursion. He lives with wife, Christina, children, Eliza and Sebastian, and his crazy golden doodle, Lego.
Kaushik Sivasubramanian (Mr. Green) Some say he was turned down a place on “I’m a celebrity” because he is one. Some say that he appears on high value stamps in Sweden, and that he can catch fish with his tongue. Some say he once fought with Superman and the loser had to start wearing his underwear on the outside of his pants and that wherever you are in the world, if you turn your radio to 90.5 you can actually hear his thoughts. All we know is, he’s called Kaushik and he plays Mr. Green in this production.
Kalie Tomiczek (Detective and Stage Manager) is thrilled to be working with Palisade Playhouse on its inaugural show. For her day jobs, she works with the Snapology as an educator and with the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, performing in the traveling educational show Spinosaurus Encounter – fulfilling her lifelong goal of being a dinosaur and being paid to act. She has a Cinema and Digital Arts degree from Point Park University, concentrating in producing. In addition to McKeesport Little Theatre’s recent Beauty and the Beast, previous on-stage credits include Hodel in Fiddler on the Roof, Jan in Grease, Rose Gordon in Flowers for Algernon, and Alice in You Can’t Take It With You.

Lebanon with her wonderful husband, Paul, and two dog children, Tugger and Piper.
Abby Wilson (Mrs. White) is thrilled for her role in Palisade's inaugural show, especially given the mouthy maid's untimely death at the hands of Hasbro last summer. Her proudest theatrical accomplishments include Senioritis, a one-night only original musical about delusional nursing home performers (she co-starred), Hello Donny! a monthly cabaret show sponsored by the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust from 2012 - 2014 (she co-produced), Kenneth What is the Frequency? which premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival before running off-off Broadway (her non-speaking role helped many props move across the stage), and the Ellis School’s 8th grade production of Pirates of Penzance (she brought grown men to tears as the Pirate King). Before law school muted a little bit of her soul, Abby sang as an alto in a number of choirs, lived in South Africa, and ran political campaigns. She works in public health and lives in Squirrel Hill with her husband Patrick.
