Cast |
 CHRISTOPHE ANDERSON (Max) - is proud to be a founding member and co-Artistic Director of the Rapscallion Theatre Collective. He received his acting BFA from Long Island University C.W.Post Campus. Christophe has focused on teaching and directing for the past few years, and is absolutely elated to return to the stage in this production of A Quiet End; marking his NYC acting debut. Other regional acting credits include: Strangest Kind of Romance (Little Man), Crave (A), and The Day Room (Budge/Arno Klein). He thanks the cast, Tom, and the rest of the crew for taking this journey together, and thanks to his family and friends for their unshakeable support. Always for and because of Ray! |
 AIDAN KANE (Jason) - Originally from Texas, Aidan left his roots to study performance at the College of Santa Fe in New Mexico. It was there where he received his BFA in Theatre and shortly after graduation became a teacher of teenage minds. Three years later, he cashed in his retirement to pursue his own professional career which leaves us at his current junction. Aidan is thrilled to be working with the Rapscallion Theatre Collective as well as the rest of the talented members of this great cast. His credits include a plethora of amazing roles which you probably have never seen him in, but rest assured they were amazing, and he did do them. You might have seen him selling burgers on billboards for Mickey D’s or Cell phones in Magazines for AT&T. Perhaps you saw him playing a trumpet on posters all over the subway lines here in NYC or maybe, just maybe, you might recognize him as Erika Kane’s waiter on All My Children. He’s a jack of all trades really and he credits his motivation and love for the arts to his lovingly supportive family and his perfectly wonderful and glamorous girlfriend Jessica Parks. |
 KELLY MILLER (Tony) - was last seen on stage in the NY International Fringe Festival production 7 Stories High. Other NYC stage credits include: I.E. In Other Words (The Flea Theater), Beyond Therapy, Sin (Bohemian Archaeology), The Crackwalker, Book of Days (New World Theatre) and Shopping and Fucking (The Themantics Group). He has just completed work on the independent film Silent River. Previous film credits include New Guy, Public Interest, New York Lately, The Coldest Winter, The Great Pretenders and Futures (& Derivatives).

 RONY SHEER (Billy) - is from Jerusalem, where he began performing as a circus artist during his childhood. This past May, he received his Masters of Fine Arts from Columbia University’s School of the Arts where he trained with Kristin Linklater, Andrei Serban, Niky and Ulla Wolcz, Larry Singer and others. At Columbia, Rony performed in pieces such as The Lower Depths, Three Sisters, As You Like It, The Venetian Twins, and Diane Paulus’s adaptation of James Baldwin’s Another Country.
In the late nineties, he was a member of NYU’s Creative arts team where he acted in several devised plays. Rony also holds a BFA in acting from Adelphi University, where he performed in plays such as Once in a life Time, Holy Ghosts, Tony and Tina’s Wedding, and helped workshop some of Jonathan Larson’s rare early works. In the summer of 06 he trained with Anne Bogart’s SITI company. The following summer he acted in and produced the U.S. premier of the acclaimed Israeli play The Child Dreams. Rony would like to thank his family for way too many things to even mention. He would also like to thank The Rapscallion Theatre Collective and everyone involved in this production.
