Benny is also currently Assistant Directing Lieutenant of Inishmore and is on the Board of Directors for IU’s student theatre group, University Players.

MARILYN WHITE (EMILY/SUNFLOWER) is a freshman at Ivy Tech and has been acting since she was ten, making Mr. Marmalade her seventeenth production. Along with acting, Marilyn’s passions include singing, dancing, and playing guitar and ukulele.

She would like to thank the directors she’s had and her parents for getting her where she is today. EVAN PRITCHARD (LARRY) has studied General Education at Ivy Tech. He plans to pursue a degree in Business and Hospitality at IU and someday open up his own restaurant.

DAVID WADE (SCENIC DESIGNER) finds designing for Director, Paul Daily here in the Fire Bay at Ivy Tech-Bloomington always an exciting challenge. Adapting in this space is always a test. This is evident from his church-like design for Macbeth. Last season he designed king oedipus complete with shadow puppets and also Eurydice with its own scenic surprises. Hey, Greek plays are cool but he needed a change so he has kept himself busy this year at Bloomington High School South designing Phantom of the Opera and Midsummers Night Dream, along with Seussical for Bedford H.S. and Willy Wonka for Bloomfield H.S. He fits all that in while working at Bloomington Playwrights Project where he is still not done as the resident scenic designer. Last season at the BPP he has painted for old people who fall in love and girls who want to kill people, just like their made-up boyfriends. Designing for a stage full of monsters and heroes was, as the kids say, “Kick ass!” Most recent designs include Ugly Lies the Bone and The Capables.
