CAST

Jerome R. Marzullo (Don Diego) -- This is Jerry's first production with Commedia Beauregard.  Originally from Chicago, he received a BA in Theater from the University of Illinois.  In Minnesota, he has appeared with North Branch Community Theater, TRP, Pigs Eye Theater, Theatre Pro Rata, Shakespeare and Co., Cromulent Shakespeare Company, Ronin Theater, and Shoestring Players.  More recently he was "Santiago" in Park Square's Anna in the Tropics.  Last year he was also seen in The Goat or Who is Sylvia at nimbus theatre, and in The Petrified Forest with Gremlin Theater (one of City Pages' "10 Best" of 2006).  By day, he is a financial planner, and he can be seen and heard playing congas and percussion monthly at Washington Square Bar and Grill in White Bear Lake with the blues/funk band RIDE.

Aaron Konigsmark (Simón) -- For the past three years Aaron has been living and performing in the Twin Cities. He's worked with Swandive, La Vie, Cromulent Shakespeare Company, and Mounds Community Theatre. He is also a founding member of Bad Attitude Productions, a local theatre company. He would like to dedicate this performance to longing for love, Van Gogh's ear in remembrance of it.

Melissa Bechthold (Rita) -- Melissa is grateful to be a part of her first production with Commedia Beauregard.  After five years in Los Angeles and Fringing it this summer, Melissa’s glad to be getting back into the swing of Twin Cities’ theatre.  She’s been everyone from a Pink Lady ("Jan" – Grease) to one of Shakespeare’s novices ("Isabella" – Measure for Measure), as well as a director, producer, girls’ softball coach, and salsa (dance) teacher.

Lauren B. Wills (Doña Francisca) -- After spending much of the last two years working on film projects (including the short film Karen and music videos for the bands Limbeck and Love Arcade), Lauren is very excited to be part of the talented and hilarious cast of The Young Lady's Consent.  She is sincerely hoping no one realizes she is not, in fact, any kind of a young lady until after the run.

Jesse Dorst (Calamocha) -- Jesse is pleased to be making his Commedia Beauregard debut in The Young Lady's Consent. He has been seen in productions with Chameleon Theater Circle, Door Shakespeare, and CLIMB Theater. He is a graduate of Macalester College (BA, Theater).

Matt Wenge (Don Carlos) -- Mr. Wenge recently moved to the Twin Cities from Omaha, NE where he performed with The Brigit St. Brigit Theatre.  In the last year he was seen in Macbeth as the First Murderer, Lt. Rooney in Arsenic and Old Lace, and Colonel Pickering in Pygmallion.  He currently works as a web site developer who plans to go back to school to pursue a masters degree in theatre.
