PRODUCER’S NOTE
W elcome to the Village Playhouse’s presentation
of Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House, adapted for
the stage by Frank McGuinness.
A Doll’s House premiered at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen,
Denmark, on December 21, 1879. This play was open to much
criticism with an ending that didn’t fit societal norms. The play
is significant for its critical attitude toward marriage and the roles
people have to play in society.
A Doll’s House may have been written long ago, but the themes
are relatable in today’s world. One theme is that women are
struggling for an equal say and equal rights, in today's world as
much as yesterday's world. I like a show that is able to transcend
time.
The dialogue is good, the character development is great, and
there’s no one character who is purely evil or wholesomely good.
But there’s still plenty of conflict. It’s more interesting to have
characters who are multi-dimensional; it adds to the relatability
of the story.
A good story will draw me in, and that’s why producing this
show has been a pleasure.
I know you’ll enjoy it!

A Doll’s House is presented by special arrangement with
Dramatists Play Services, Inc., New York
A Doll’s House was previously produced at the
Playhouse Theatre in London by Thelma Holt.
Produced on Broadway by Bill Kenwright
in association with Thelma Holt.
Dominic Bartos (Child) is so excited to be in his first play!
His mommy and daddy met while studying theatre at Wisconsin
Lutheran College so you could say he was made for the stage. In
his spare time, Dominic enjoys digging for dinosaur bones, jump-
ing like Spiderman, and learning all he can about this big world.
He'd like to thank the cast, the crew ("Auntie Deanna got me this
gig!"), his beautiful mommy, and all his family.
Rita Bates (Kristine Linde) After almost 4 years with Village
Playhouse, working behind the scenes and in a handful of very
small acting roles, Rita is very excited to be on the stage in her
largest role yet. She would like to thank director Deanna Strasse
and fellow cast mates for having faith that she could do this. She
would also like to thank various friends and family for believing
in her.
Mary Breitrick (Helene) is looking forward to being back on
stage with Village Playhouse. She is a long-time member and
has served in many capacities with the group over the years, both
on stage and off. A Village Playhouse production is always a
rewarding experience.
David Dawursk (Torvald Helmer) This is David's fourth
show with the Village Playhouse. He would like to thank
Deanna for never asking him to audition for a show here. He
would also like to thank TriStar Pictures for releasing David's
biggest inspiration: 1986's Short Circuit. He hopes you enjoy the
show and wants you to know that he is nicer in person than he
appears on stage.
Melody Lopac (Nora Helmer) is happy to be telling stories on
the stage again working with director and friend, Deanna Strasse.
Melody graduated from UW-Milwaukee's Peck School of the
Arts with a BA in Theatre Studies. Favorite credits include Car-
nelle in The Miss Firecracker Contest, and Bridgit in Death by
CAST BIOGRAPHIES
Design, which had two runs with Milwaukee Entertainment
Group in 2015 and 16. She sends love and thanks to friends and
family who came to support her in A Doll's House.
Ava Lopez (Child) is very happy to be making her debut with
Village Playhouse. She'd like to thank everyone involved, espe-
cially her mom and Aunt Lindsay. "Enjoy the show!"
Juliano Mendez (Child) is a creative 12-year-old with a char-
ismatic personality who aspires to be an actor. His hobbies are
soccer, dancing and skateboarding. He portrayed Magyar in the
play Mulan Jr. in 2016, modeled in a 2013 Wedding Expo, and
was in a photo shoot for El Conquistador Latino Newspaper in
2012.
Scott Sorensen (Dr. Rank) is grateful to be a part of this show
and to help share this story. Many thanks to the cast, crew and
production team. Thanks also to the Village Playhouse and In-
spiration Studios for their focus on the arts—so vital and such
an important part of WHO WE ARE! Once again, never-ending
love to the late Aric Fisher. As for YOU, sit back and enjoy the
show!
Scott Stenstrup (Nils Krogstad) is proud to be doing his fourth
show here at Village Playhouse. Scott has been re-acting for
about 5 years now after many years away from the stage. Some
of his most enjoyable shows have been Anything Goes at Imagi-
nation Theatre (Eli Whitney), Eurydice at Village Playhouse
(Father), and Little Shop of Horrors at New Berlin Community
Theatre (Orin Scrivelo). Scott would like to thank his cast mates
and director for making this a truly memorable experience. He
would also like to thank his family and friends for putting up
with this insanity that is called theatre. Mostly he would like to
thank you, the audience, for without your support of live theatre
we would not be able to have the experience that we have.
