The cast includes Jeff Boyer-Half Man- half alligator, Hallie Storm Boyer-Kansas, Eric Dockus-Lester, Brian Harris-Lenny, Katie Huber-Welty-Woman, Kate Kuschel-Voice/Loan Officer, Thomas Limbacher-Duwell Early, Thom Mellen-Duane Early, and Brad Rondeau-Sandy.

Thom Mellen plays the role of Duane Early, Duwell's older and much wiser brother, "Duwell, if they turned Alabama upside down and shook it until everyone with a brain fell out, you'd still be in your kitchen." He was last seen on stage in April of 2009 when he played the role of Reuben in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Thom actually waited until he was 58 years old to make his stage debut. That too was right here in Pinckney when he landed himself the role of J. C. MacCleary in Dennis North's melodrama, Orphan Train. Thom works for Advanced Marketing Partners, a printing/marketing company, in Livonia. In his spare time, he likes to play golf, work out, and ride his Harley. Thom has one daughter who lives in Chicago and plans to make the trip to Pinckney to see her dad take the stage in this production.

Thomas Limbacher plays the role of Duwell Early, one of the Alabama duck-hunters who claim to have shot a celestial being, "Duane... that ain't a duck is it?" While Tom is a newcomer to the Jane Tasch stage, he is not new to theatre. He is actually rejoining the ranks of the Theatre World after a fifteen year hiatus. Prior to this sabbatical, Tom performed, directed, produced, or otherwise participated in over 100 productions. Most of these were in New England where he pursued a profession in show business. In 1986, Tom moved back to his hometown of Adrian, Michigan and became the Administrative Director for the Historic Croswell Opera House. At this point he came to his senses, met and married his wife, Lynne, and somewhat settled down to raise and spend time with his three children. Now they are grown and on their own and Tom is back to his old self on the stage. In his spare time, Tom likes to golf and ride around in his wife's convertible. Tom and Lynne belong to the Michigan T-Bird Club. Tom's day job is as the Service Manager of Fowlerville Ford.
