Ancestral Voices Cast

Brendan Noble is thrilled to be joining this staged reading of Ancestral Voices. While this is his debut performance here at RFCT, he’s no stranger to theatre on Long Island. For those of you who Theatre-goers who live out East, you might recognize him from First Date The Musical as Gabe Rubenstone at NFCT. Most recent credits include: In Pieces (Gary/Billis/Jesse) which was a world premiere workshop at ThinkBIG Theater Arts, 42nd Street (Pat Denning) at Smithtown Performing Arts Center, Disney’s Newsies The Musical (Teddy Roosevelt) at CM Performing Arts Center. On the film end of things, Brendan lent his talents to Batman: The Fam Series as Detective Harvey Bullock, the pilot is available to stream on YouTube. He’d like to thank Robert Horn and the rest of RFCT for this opportunity. @BNoble4Life

Please sit back and enjoy this performance. "Family comes first."

Michael Horn has been a member of RFCT for many years. Prologus in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Guy Proclo in The Ritz and Scottie Templeton in Tribute; these are but a few roles both musical and non-musical he has enjoyed playing. He can be seen performing with See Saw Comedy (www.seesawcomedy.com) and Now Thatz Funny! Entertainment (www.NowThatzFunny.com). As always, he wants to thank his family for all their love and support. Lastly a very special thank you to my best friend, my partner in crime, who time and time again has shown me what real courage is. Diana, I love you and none and of this would be possible or worth it without you.

Rusty Kransky has been active with the RFCT since 1997. Favorite roles include King Arthur, Tevye, Don Quixote and Sweeney Todd. Previously Rusty played Harvey (the father) in Ancestral Voices...now he is playing the grandpa role...how time flies!
