Michael Neuert
"Frank"
Michael was last seen on the MFT stage in Larry Shue's The Foreigner and directed the company's Christmas 2021 production of The Queen of Bingo by Jeanne Michels and Phyllis Murphy.
Michael is honoured to work with this very talented cast and crew and hopes you enjoy the show.
Dawn Bell
"Peggy"
This is Dawn’s fourth show with Mini Fridge Theatre Company. She is excited to be back and looks forward to using her powers of sarcasm for good instead of evil!
Dawn hopes you enjoy the show and encourages you to laugh and laugh and laugh.
Nicole Bergman
"Jill"
Nicole is absolutely thrilled to be playing Jill in Weekend Comedy. This is Nicole’s second show with Mini Fridge Theatre Company — she had the privilege of playing Ida earlier this season in See How They Run by Philip King.
Nicole appreciates the support and understanding from her husband and kids, as being in a play means a lot of evenings away at rehearsals and wandering around the house with headphones reciting lines.
Thank you for coming to the show! Enjoy!
Brennan Risling
"Tony"
Brennan (aka The Riz / aka Major Party) is a man of many personas. In tandem, he is a teacher, musician, writer, reviewer, clinician, public speaker, radio and television host, two-time (TWO-TIME!) Saskatchewan Air Guitar Champion, masters’ student (83.4% in his first class, no big deal…) and now an actor! Who knew?
Brennan is excited to be making his acting debut with Mini Fridge Theatre Company!
Rod Hutchinson
Director
Rod is excited to be directing his first production at Mini Fridge Theatre Company. He was last seen onstage as the Reverend Arthur Humphreys in this season's See How They Run by Philip King and as Donnie in Norm Foster's The Foursome; was heard as the Bingo Caller in Jeanne Michels' and Phyllis Murphy's The Queen of Bingo; and has stage managed numerous shows, including MFT's December 2022 production (and Canadian premiere of) Aboveboard by Peter Bloedel and Emily Kimball.
Rod would like to thank the cast and crew for making this a memorable and enjoyable experience.
Enjoy!
Christine Unger
Stage Manager
Welcome to the wonderful world of theatre! A remarkable place where you get a glimpse of an alternate reality play out on stage. Maybe you laugh, maybe you cry — but, most incredibly, maybe you see a little bit of yourself in one of the characters and realize you are not alone. You forget about your real-world problems and worries if only for a few minutes.
Christine is proud to be a part of this show, working with a stellar cast and director.
Eat heartily, laugh loudly, and enjoy the magic!
Lindsay Woods
Assistant Stage Manager
Lindsay Woods is excited to be acting as assistant stage manager for her first production with Mini Fridge Theatre Company after a few years away from the theatre world. She previously acted as stage manager for multiple productions with Swift Current Little Theatre, including award-winning performances of Willow Road and Skin Flick.
Outside of work, Lindsay works as a graphic designer and digital marketer and enjoys thrift stores and good long audiobooks.

Join us in April for The Ladies Foursome!
MFT's final production of its seventh season is just around the corner with The Ladies Foursome by Canadian author (and playwright royalty) Norm Foster!
Tickets go on sale to the general public on March 13!
"When Foster is on form, as he is here, there's not much better theatre around."
— Hamilton Spectator
It’s the day after the funeral of a friend, and three women gather for a round of golf in honour of their recently deceased playing partner. They are joined by a fourth woman, another old friend of the deceased that the other three didn’t know about. During the round the women discuss life, love, men, sex, children, careers …everything but golf! Many surprises, secrets, and confessions come to the surface during this hilarious and heart-warming round of golf.
The Ladies Foursome is a female version of The Foursome, but with a completely different story.
