Meet the Sheriffs

Ken Luce (Sheriff #1 - male cast)

When it comes to Ken, then the best place would be to start at his passions. As an avid student of performance art since he was younger, Ken would slowly spend the last couple of years doing something he truly loved and enjoyed. From the excitement of getting the acceptance call to the very last curtain, he knows that with the strong talent on and off the stage, it will be a show to remember.

His past performances include The Clown in Titus Andronicus(TAO) Claudio in Much Ado About Nothing (OLT) multiple roles in An Improbable Peck of Plays (Prodigal Sun) and Alfred David in Welfarewell (OLT)

“Living in the now” is something that holds much appeal to Ken as he realizes that all he controls is what is in front of him right here and now. It is this saying that provides the passion within him to go the extra mile when it comes to doing something that he loves. A Northwest native for the last 20 years or so he enjoys the hidden beauty of the Northwest compared to his birth state of California. Living up here has given him the intricate appreciation of coffee, cigarettes and cheap wine.

He believes that you will enjoy this show because aside from seeing amazing performances and fantastic direction he hopes that you will just enjoy the passion each of these amazing people have put into the show every single day since we have started this crazy journey. Enjoy yourself because what you're about to watch is simply magical.
