Lisa hopes this story leaves you with renewed hope wherever you are on your own journey.

Mrs. Du Maurier – Kelli Brown

Kelli Brown is pleased as punch to be in this performance of Finding Neverland as Mrs. DuMaurier, even if Mrs. D. is a stick in the mud.   Kelli greatly enjoys community theater and the part she likes best is making friends with wonderful people.  She has been blown away by the local talent she gets to work with and hopes very much that you will enjoy the show!

She also likes piña coladas and getting caught in the rain.

Mrs. Du Maurier – Tara Jean Harris

Tara Jean’s directing debut at age 19 consisted of a couple dozen kids at summer camp and a very short version of Peter Pan, so this show has a special place in her heart.  For the last 2 decades, she has enjoyed performing, directing, teaching, music directing, dancing and choreography.  Special thanks to her 4 kids and Prince Charming of a husband!  She hopes all will find the delight of youth in the show tonight and remember it always!

Frohman/Hook/Cannan – Christopher Fosse

After decades wasted on things like family and a career, Chris only recently found his way back onto the stage in 2025, playing Pharaoh Seti in “Prince of Egypt” and Fezziwig/Christmas Present in “Christmas Carol.” Here he is reunited with several of his favorite cast members from those productions, while giving him the chance to portray a cantankerous producer, a homewrecking British lord, and an imaginary amputee all in a single production. Joining him in ensemble parts are his two amazing daughters, Persephone and Mercury.

Frohman/Hook – Dane Robertson

Dane Robertson loves money almost as much as his character Charles Frohman. Money, however doesn’t seem to like him back.

A native of Utah, Dane has been a sentient clock in Beauty and The Beast, the brother Levi in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and a noble and visionary father to an ungrateful daughter in The Little Mermaid. I mean I’m glad it worked out, but you can’t just go trade your voice in order to shoot your shot with some random hunk onshore, you know?

Dane lives in Saratoga Springs with the love of his life: an emergency fund and a respectable 401k. His wife and two kids help tend the growing assets.

Peter – Miles Robertson

Miles turned 14 on July 8 and has always loved musicals. This is his tenth production, with some of his favorites including Anastasia and Footloose with Timpanogos Community Theater, and Hadestown with ACT. Finding Neverland marks Miles’s first lead role in a musical and his second production with ACT. He hopes you enjoy the show!

George – Noah Parson

Noah is excited to be performing in Finding Neverland, his 10th production. Some of his favorite roles have been Flounder in The Little Mermaid and being part of Hadestown with Alpine Community Theatre this spring. Noah also enjoys singing in a community choir, mountain biking on his school team, hanging out with friends, and baking and cooking. He hopes you enjoy the show as much as he enjoys performing in it!

Jack – Tanner Johnson

Tanner loves music, theater, camping, sports, video games, reading, and spending time with friends. He is a member of Rise Up Children’s Choir, where he has been a featured soloist, and shared the stage with artists such as Gentri, Matt & Savannah Shaw, Yahosh Bonner, and Shaun Johnson. His choir also toured Europe last summer, an experience he’ll never forget. An accomplished pianist, Tanner has also taught himself the violin and harmonica and recently added the clarinet. Favorite theatrical roles include Gavroche (ACT Les Misérables) and Grand Pabbie (ACT Frozen Jr.).

Michael – Max Chase

Max Chase is thrilled to be making his stage debut in Finding Neverland! This may be his first production, but if you’ve ever met Max, you know the stage is exactly where he belongs. He loves to sing, make people laugh, and turn everyday moments into an adventure. When he isn’t pretending to fly with Peter Pan, he’s usually playing football, basketball, or creating chaos (the fun kind!) with his brother and sisters. Max has loved every minute with his Finding Neverland family and is already counting the days until his next show. He hopes you enjoy the adventure as much as he has!

Elliot/Stage Manager “Smee”- Kent Dodds

Kent is new to ACT and joins us with three of his children. As a teenager, he was active in his award-winning high school show choir and performed in community productions of Sound of Music and Les Misérables. As Elliot, Kent plays Frohman’s earnest, loyal stage manager.

Cannan/Henshaw “Nana” – Isaac Widdison

Isaac is very excited to be back acting after a long hiatus! He has done many shows with ACT in the past, including: The Scarlet Pimpernel, West Side Story, and Thoroughly Modern Millie. When Isaac isn’t acting or pretending to be a dog, he spends his time writing, playing basketball, and hosting the occasional game night. 

Potter “Peter Pan” – Ashley Jackman

Ashley is so excited to be back on stage! She recently graduated from BYU in Spanish Translation, but before starting her university studies, she danced with Cache Valley Civic Ballet and then performed at Ridgeline High School as Queen Aggravain in Once Upon a Mattress and Mrs. Fairfax in Jane Eyre. Finding Neverland is one of her very favorite musicals, so this role has been a dream come true! 

Cromer “Michael” – Jessie Marchant

After 8 years away from the Theatrical stage, Jessie is thrilled to be performing in one of his all time favorite musicals, ‘Finding Neverland’. Since then, he has enjoyed performing in various choirs, a tenor trio, and with his wife in many different spaces. He is beyond excited for the audience to experience turning back the clock and finding your inner child. Time to go play!

Bassett “Mermaid” – Brooke Jorden

Brooke Jorden is thrilled to return to ACT and join this talented, magical cast (including her daughter, Madi) as the dramatic Miss Bassett! Some of her previous credits include Yocheved in The Prince of Egypt, the Sour Kangaroo in Seussical, a stepsister in Cinderella, and M’Lynn in Steel Magnolias. Outside of the theater, she is an author, graphic designer, and mother of three with another little boy coming this fall!

Turpin/”Hook”– Brett Rasmussen

Brett Rasmussen has loved singing since he first joined his church choir in Woodbridge, Virginia at the age of 12. He went on to sing in school choirs in high school and college, and to double-major in Music and Psychology for his bachelor’s degree from Brigham Young University.

Miriam/”Wendy”– Bridgette Madsen

Bridgette is so excited to be part of bringing Finding Neverland to life! She loves being able to both choreograph for and act in this very whimsical show. Some of her favorite past performing experiences include being a participant of Open Jar Institute, portraying Sylvie in Amelie, and competing at the Utah Shakespeare Competition in dance. She would like to send lots of love to all of the incredible people in this cast! #faithtrustandalittlepixiedust 

Albert– Ray LeBaron

Ray is co-director and musical director of full-length plays at his school where he teaches 2nd grade.

Ray is very excited to share the stage with many talented actors.
