Mangan; Anne Page - Danielle Reneè; Mistress Alice Ford - Jean Tafler; Master Frank Ford - Warren Kelley; Doctor Caius - Chris Mixon; Mistress Quickly - Allison DeCaro; John Rugby - Liz Mignacca; Sir Hugh Evans - Eric Hoffmann; Host of the Garter - Christopher Niess; Sir John Falstaff - John Ahlin; Robin - Luke Timmel; Bardolph/ Ford Servant - Anna Carol; Pistol - Michael Sheehy; Nym/Ford Servant - Ryan M. Skiles; Master Fenton/ Ford Servant - Christopher Joel Onken; Master Robert Shallow - Mark Ferrera; Master Abraham Slender - Rashad Guy; and Peter Simple - Chris Metz.
