He can currently be seen as Saint John Powers on AMC's critically acclaimed series "Mad Men." Mr. Shaughnessy's many stage appearances include the triple Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Urinetown, Pasadena Playhouse's acclaimed production of Orson's Shadow as well as perennial favorites including Camelot and My Fair Lady.

Rachel York is best known for her critically acclaimed Broadway performances in City of Angels, Les Misérables, Victor/Victoria with Dame Julie Andrews, Sly Fox with Richard Dreyfuss and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels co-starring Jonathan Pryce. Additionally, Ms. York has starred in numerous national tours including Camelot, Putting It Together, the national and London tours of the Tony Award-winning Broadway revival of Kiss Me, Kate and The Odd Couple with Jason Alexander and Martin Short.

Join the Ogunquit Playhouse for a lot of medieval merry-making with the musical lovingly ripped off from the internationally renowned comedy team's most popular film, Monty Python and the Holy Grail. This highly irreverent parody of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is the recipient of three Tony Awards, including Best Musical and fourteen Tony Award nominations. The Ogunquit Playhouse production features Tim Hatley's sumptuous Tony nominated sets and costumes, a chorus line of dancing divas and knights, flatulent Frenchmen, a killer rabbit and more madcap mirth than a headless knight!
