SPECIAL THANKS

Sverre Almedal  Robert Hook

Occasionally, in one’s lifetime, if we are lucky enough, we come across something that moves us so powerfully that it becomes an integral part of our being. Perhaps it is a piece of music, a novel, an object of art, even a motion picture. In my case, it was a play. This play — Terra Nova.

As a 20-something actor in 1983, I was fortunate enough to be in a Los Angeles repertory company. In repertory theater you get to know your fellow actors very well…for better or worse. But when seven of us were cast in a relatively new play by a new playwright, we had no idea that being in this particular production would move us so deeply and for so many years afterward. As the decades have passed, I have met and worked with several actors who have been in other productions of this play — many who are quite well-known — and we all, to a person, share that same passion for Terra Nova.

Why would that be? I don’t have a simple answer. Perhaps it is the fact that it is a true story of real human beings. Perhaps it’s the overwhelming sense of tragedy in the face of such bravery. Perhaps it touches something deep within us that fights for survival in the direst of situations. Or perhaps it’s the ultimate acceptance of death in the end that so moves us. But whatever it may be, it’s been with me all these years later.

I’ve been fortunate enough to have directed this play more than once. The last time I directed it, I had just returned from London where the British Natural History Museum had a wonderful exhibit celebrating the Centennial of the Terra Nova Expedition. Being able to see, firsthand, Scott’s diary and the re-creations of the Base Camp, hundreds of never-before-seen photos and artifacts, as well as many as-yet unheard stories moved me beyond belief. When I returned to Los Angeles, I asked my cast to come together for our first reading a week early. After the read, they were quite moved by the play. But when I pointed out why I had them come together early, they were shocked. It was March 29, 2012…one hundred years to the day of Scott’s last journal entry and death.

There have been many powerful moments in my life where the story of the Terra Nova Expedition has come up unexpectedly…the death of a loved one, the sacrifice of a friend, a courageous act by someone under desperate circumstances. In those moments, I have always harkened back to those brave people whose story you are seeing play out onstage here at Pentacle Theatre.

If this play moves you as it has this cast and crew, we will have done our job. May you be fortunate enough in your lives to find something that sparks your passion the way that Terra Nova did for me. The cast and I thank you for coming with us on this journey. Go home safely and may you enjoy a long and fulfilling life.

Scott Ramp Director

Addendum: Having to cancel our final three performances due to a serious medical emergency in the cast was a gut-punch to all of us. I am so thrilled the Pentacle Board of Directors was able to let us “finish” our run and tell our story once again! And thank you, our audience, for braving Antarctica in February!

Scott Ramp Director

Scott returned to the Pentacle stage for the first time since 1981 last December in It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play. He previously performed at Pentacle in Little Mary Sunshine, Sugar, I Get A Kick Out of You: A Cole Porter Review, as Will Parker in Oklahoma! and The Vagabond King in addition to working on dozens more.

For most of the past 40 years, Scott lived in Los Angeles, working as an actor/ director, makeup artist and teacher.

Prior to moving back to Salem in 2020, Scott was last seen onstage as Lazar Wolf in a 16-week run of Fiddler on the Roof at the Lawrence Welk Resort near San Diego. In addition to acting in dozens of productions around Los Angeles from Shakespeare to Broadway touring companies (La Cage Aux Folles with Broadway legends Larry Kert and Harvey Evans), Scott taught makeup, acting and directed dozens of plays as a faculty member at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Hollywood since 1985.

As a makeup artist, he has taught and mentored hundreds of artists over the years, one of whom won the 2014 Best Makeup Academy Award.

Scott runs large-scale events, primarily at Universal Studios Hollywood and Six Flags parks and has been the makeup designer at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Los Angeles since 1992. He appeared on Season 5 of the SyFy television series Face/Off. He designed

makeup for numerous productions at The Old Globe in San Diego, including the world premiere of Meteor Shower with Steve Martin and Camp David with Richard Thomas.

He and his wife of 36 years, Barbara, moved back to Salem in 2020. He is thrilled to return to the theater that nurtured his love for theater and gave him his start all those years ago!

Deborah Johansen Assistant Director

Active at Pentacle Theatre since 1979, Deborah has been a Lifetime Member since 2019. As an actress, her favorite roles have included Ado Annie, Daisy Mae, the Witch in the 1994 production of Into the Woods, Rhetta Cupp in Pump Boys and Dinettes and each of her roles in Almost Maine. Some of the shows she has enjoyed directing for Pentacle are The Sunshine Boys (1984), You Can't Take it with You, Guys and Dolls, Once Upon a Mattress, Mary Poppins (fundraiser) and Dashing Through the Snow. Deborah is a retired drama teacher and as always thanks her son, Jordan, for his love and theatrical support for these many years. Colossians 3:17

Chris Benham

Capt. Robert Falcon Scott

Chris is returning to the stage after an absence of nearly a decade and is appearing on the Pentacle stage for the first time since 2001’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. He has been seen on stage many times over the years at Gallery Theater in McMinnville, taking turns as Fred/Petruchio in Kiss Me Kate, Mr. Manningham in Angel Street and Fagin in Oliver, among many others. Directing credits include productions around the Northwest, including Into the Woods in Newberg, and Much Ado About Nothing at Gallery. He has also appeared on local and national television in a variety of commercials and an appearance on the TNT series Leverage

Chris has been Pentacle's Technical Director since 2017. He lives in Salem with his fiancee, Geri. He enjoys home brewing, woodworking and other construction projects, and spending as much time as possible with his two daughters, Naomi and Nora.

Travis Brown

Lawrence “Titus” Oates

Travis is very grateful to be part of the Terra Nova cast and to make his Pentacle debut. He has long been fascinated by the "Heroic Age" of Antarctic Exploration and is honored to play the role of Captain Oates. Travis would not have this opportunity without the love and support of his wife, Valerie, who is also volunteering her time and energy running lights and sound for the show. He thanks his father, mother and brother for their unwavering encouragement of his theatrical endeavors over the years. His favorite past roles include Carr-Gomm in The Elephant Man, The Earl of Bothwell in Mary Queen of Scots Got Her Head Chopped Off and Ralph in Frozen (no relation to the Disney musical). Travis works as a hydrogeologist for the Oregon Water Resources Department. In his precious free time, he can be found fishing along Oregon's sublime coasts, lakes and rivers or grubbing around in the dirt of his nascent garden.

Zach DuFault Henry “Birdie” Bowers

This is Zach’s second production at Pentacle Theatre; his first was as Nick in Over the River and Through the Woods. Other theaterrelated experience includes How it all Began, which can be watched on Amazon.

Zach studied for eight years at The Beverly Hills Playhouse. He owns The Salem Playhouse where he teaches teens and young adults the art of acting. He hopes it can be a safe haven for students where they can discover and grow their gifts. Outside of acting, he enjoys spending time with his girlfriend and dogs.

Ken Hermens

Petty Officer Edgar “Taff” Evans

Since his Pentacle debut in 1975's The Glass Menagerie, Ken has appeared in over 60 shows at Pentacle, most recently (and, as it turns out, ironically) in 2019's Dashing Through the Snow. Some favorite roles at Pentacle have included Martin Dysart in Equus, Don Quixote in Man of La Mancha, Thenardier in Les Miserables, and Brother Boy in Sordid Lives. He has served several terms on Pentacle Theatre's Governing Board and has directed three Pentacle productions, including 2015's Chicago. In 1999, Ken was honored to receive the distinction of becoming a Pentacle Theatre Lifetime Member.

Ken has also appeared in other regional productions over the years, including playing the roles of Motel in Fiddler on the Roof at the Hult Center in Eugene and Victor Frankenstein in Young Frankenstein at Lakewood Theater in Lake Oswego. This one's for David!

Tim Jaeger

Roald Amundsen

Tim has appeared several times on the Pentacle stage over the past four decades most recently as Nunzio in Over the River and Through the Woods. He has acted extensively — about 100 shows in 25 theaters — mostly in Portland and Willamette Valley theaters. When not on stage, Tim acts in short films, commercials and industrial productions and does improv. When not performing, Tim enjoys time with his large and growing family and dear friends. He learned about "heroic gesture" from his father, the late great Donavon Jaeger.

Kaelyn Kappes

Kathleen Bruce Scott

Kaelyn is thrilled to be making her Pentacle Theatre debut. Prior to moving to Oregon last summer, she was enthusiastically involved with many productions at her alma mater, Muhlenberg College, including Mirage, Mr. Burns: A PostElectric Play, The Long Christmas Dinner, The Rising of the Moon and more. Outside of theater, Kaelyn works as an Assistant Director of Admission at Willamette University. She also loves to dance, hike, hang out with friends and visit her family back in San Diego. The support of her wonderful family, friends, and Willamette Admission colleagues cannot be understated — they're what bring her vibrant joy on and off the stage every day. She is immensely grateful to be part of this cast of gallant gentlemen and is endlessly thankful for the hard-working production crew, especially the incredibly dedicated Scott Ramp.

Robert previously performed in Pentacle’s production of Enchanted April. Other theater-related experience includes From Time to Time in 2018 from Trill Productions.

Volunteers are the lifeblood of our theatre. They are what fuel the art you see on our stage. In Terra Nova, I can feel the heartbeat of the rich and vibrant community that keeps us curious, tenacious, and courageous. Last summer the story of Terra Nova touched our hearts and earned high praise from audiences, but in a heartbreaking turn of events the final weekend of that run had to be canceled due to a medical emergency. Months later, in an act of bravery and charting new waters, director Scott Ramp and the rest of the cast and crew banded together once again to put that final weekend back on the calendar and bring this story back to life.

I am incredibly proud and grateful to the cast and crew who resurrected this production for this weekend only. The road to get here was not without obstacles, but it is with persistence and passion that they moved forward. For a group of people to be so fervid in their determination and so unwavering in support, speaks volumes to me about what this story means to them and what it can mean to us all.

In Ted Tally's Terra Nova, we follow Captain Scott and his team on their valiant quest to the bottom of the earth. I can't help but feel the spirit of that courage is with us today, pushing us to make it to the finish line, come hell or high water.

Congratulations to the team of Terra Nova on a successful and exciting expedition, and thank YOU for being here to witness it with me.

“Shrek, which draws from William Steig’s book about a lovable ogre and the DreamWorks animated movie that it inspired, is nonetheless a triumph of comic imagination with a heart as big and warm as Santa’s. It is the most ingeniously wacky, transcendently tasteless Broadway musical since The Producers, and more family-friendly …” – USA Today

With book and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire and music by Jeanine Tesori, Shrek The Musical runs March 3 through 25, 2023. Tickets will be available soon.
