Actor's Express Announces Cast of RENT, Beginning Next Month
Actor's Express announces casting for its summer musical Rent. Jeremiah Parker Hobbs and Julissa Sabino, both seen at Actor's Express in last summer's The Rocky Horror Show, will lead the cast as struggling musician Roger and his love interest, Mimi. Patrick Schweigert, seen in Aurora Theatre's Les Miserables and Mary Poppins, will play Roger's roommate, filmmaker Mark Cohen. Both making their Actor's Express debuts, Jennifer Acker (Georgia Ensemble Theatre's One Slight Hitch) and Jeanette Illidge (Aurora Theatre's Ragtime and The Mikado), will take on the roles of performance artist Maureen and her lover Joanne. Austin Tijerina, a 2014 Suzi Bass Award winner for Outstanding Featured Actor in a Musical for his role in Serenbe Playhouse's Oklahoma, will play drag queen Angel, and Greg Hunter (Aurora Theatre's Mary Poppins) will be his lover Tom Collins. Rounding out the cast is Michael Stiggers (Marius in Aurora Theatre's Les Miserables) as landlord Benny and a strong ensemble of Actor's Express veterans and newcomers.
