Production Staff Bios
Ms. Ellen Abood (Choreographer) is very excited to be working on her first production here at GDA. She is currently a Sophomore at the Catholic University of America and is pursuing her Bachelor of Music in Musical Theatre. She would love to thank the cast and everyone involved for making her first GDA experience a memorable one. Mr. Paul Buckley ‘86 (Producer, Director - Godspell) is thrilled to be back behind the director’s chair to direct one of his favorite shows. And he still gets to produce it. along with one of his favorite comedies ever in Arsenic and Old Lace. Since he can’t possibly top the fun he has had these past two months, he doesn’t see ever trying this again. :) To Allan, Matt and Meghan - thank you for your support. He is unbelievably grateful to his Godspell team of Marika, Ellen and Will - who helped bring this wonderful message to you. His cast is awesome - he loves them all. He loves his Arsenic cast too, even if he does feel somewhat like an absentee father. Speaking of which, he is most grateful to his wife Monica, and his kids for the missed dinners and games so he could do this special production. You are the light of his world. This production is dedicated to his former teacher, producer, director and mentor, John C. Warman. Mr. William H. Clemens (Associate Producer) is a GDA alum (‘10) who came back for more. And boy did he get some! He is so proud of the casts and crew, shout out to house crew, and can’t wait for the audience’s experience. Also, thanks Mr. Buckley, Mr. L’Etoile, Mrs. Goldsmith, and Mr. Duffy for being such amazing mentors and putting up with his generally confused movement forward. Also, Ellen and Marika are super talented, for the record. Enjoy the show!!! Ms. Marika Countouris (Music Director - Godspell) is thrilled to be back at GDA! She is a junior Musical Theatre major at the Catholic University of America where she has assisted in musical direction for Unlimited, A Review of Stephen Schwartz, A Frank Loesser Review performed at the Kennedy Center, and Godspell. This summer she served as the Music Directing Intern at Montgomery College’s Summer Dinner Theater for their productions of A Funny Thing… and Legally Blonde. She also was the Music Director and Co-Creator of a Beatles Cabaret entitled, All You Need Is Love and a Miscast Cabaret entitled Raise Your Voice. Marika serves as Music Director in Residence for CenterStage, the student run theater company at CUA. She is also thrilled to be working with The GDA Family as Music Director in the spring for Hairspray. Finally, Marika would like to thank Ellen and Mr. Buckley for bringing this beautiful score to life on stage through beautiful story telling.
Mr. Matthew Duffy (Technical Director): “Back in the day when I worked as a carpenter, my most annoying interaction was with the truck driver employed by our wood supplier. In the middle of the day he would double-park his 18-wheeler on Georgia Avenue, then defiantly (and repeatedly) inform us that he only drove the truck, he didn’t unload the truck. Staggering under the weight of thick mahogany slabs, I dreamt of the day that I too could be as lazy as this paragon of work ethic. I am happy to report that I was able to achieve this worthy goal during the construction of this set. I purposely channeled my inner teamster and did not do a lick physical labor for this set. 100% of what you see before you was figured out, constructed, and “made nice” by Stage Crew members - only one of which is old enough to vote. To hit the point of their awesomeness home, they constructed this set from a photograph (not plans) while simultaneously incorporating a new system of flats dreamt-up by Koko our Stage Manager. I hope you enjoy watching the actors on set as much as I enjoyed watching Stage Crew build the set!” Mrs. Meghan Goldsmith (Producer) is beginning her 15th season as a member of the production staff, and is still thrilled beyond measure every day to be part of this incredible family. Memorable shows include Singin’ in the Rain ‘99, 42nd Street ‘02, Guys and Dolls ‘06, West Side Story ‘08, Kiss Me, Kate ‘11 and Fiddler ‘14. Thank you to Paul, Allan, Matt, Marika, Ellen and Will for being wonderful colleagues, creators and friends, and a heartfelt congratulations to this group of students, especially to the seniors and GDA veterans, on a job very well done. Finally, thanks are always in order to her amazing husband Dan, and the two brightest stars in her world, Matthew and Kate. Mr. Allan L’Etoile ‘73, HoF ‘12 (Director - Arsenic), godfather to Kate Goldsmith, has the best job in the world, working with young actors. He hopes they’ve had a lot of fun doing Arsenic, and he thanks, especially, his wife and dog for missing him evenings when he’s at rehearsal.
Good luck Clay! We can’t wait to see Godspell and can’t believe this is your last year of Gonzaga shows! It has gone by way too fast! Love you!! Mom, Dad, Brigitte & David

Doing the work is what we do here at stage crew. As always, Matthew Seay (Asst. Light Manager) has enjoyed being able to help put something together. Not to be mistaken with his older brother, Matthew is the one without curly hair. Know this about him... Matt enjoys most every set. This is Mike Seay’s (Loft Manager) 7th show since he wandered into the theater by accident in 2012 and was too embarrassed to admit that he was just lost. He’s been on stage crew ever since, living a lie, praying every day for freedom.
