Over the next two weeks we’ll be introducing you to the cast of our upcoming production of THE WEDDING SINGER playing April 27th – May 22nd, 2010.
Andrew Halliwell (Robbie Hart): This is Andrew’s debut with FCP as Robbie Hart in the Wedding Singer. The nepotistical nature in which Andrew was cast in this role may seem shady at first; however, it was Andrew who first inspired Ryan to form his own theatre company when they were roommates after graduating from drama school together. So, in lieu of that, Andrew humbly and gratefully accepts this role as fair recompense. He is honoured to be included with the many talented individuals who are a part of this production.
Lexy Campbell (Julia Sullivan): Lexy is ecstatic to be playing the role of Julia Guglia in her Fighting Chance debut! Lexy recently returned to Vancouver’s theatre scene after completing her BFA in Theatre Performance at Concordia University in Montreal. She also worked with the McGill Arts Undergraduate Theatre Society playing the roles of Hope Cladwell in Urinetown and Sheila Franklin in Hair. Previously in Vancouver, Lexy played the title role in Cinderella (Metro Theatre), appeared in Footloose and Big: The Musical (TUTS), and was most recently seen as Peaches in Disney’s High School Musical 2 (URP). Lexy is thrilled to finally be a part of the Fighting Chance family and would like to thank Ryan and Chris for their support and for giving her this incredible opportunity.
Sable Strub (Angie/Ensemble): Sable is a Graduate of the Capilano Musical Theatre program and is very excited to be taking part in her very first Fighting Change Production. Sable loves the 80′s and is having so much fun with a great cast of people. Please feel free to rock out in your seats!
Spencer Snashall (Ensemble): Spencer is an actor, singer, dancer, director and teacher. He began his career of stage and screen at the age of 9 in Ottawa Ontario. A graduate of the Canadian College of Performing Arts, Spencer has had the privilege of working and training with amazing industry professionals,such as: Karen Cain, Jeff Hyslop, Kate Twa, JR Bourne, and Oscar Nominated Actress Laura Linney. Spencer is currently a teacher at the Gateway Academy in Richmond BC.

Linda Noble (Rosie):
Linda started dancing at the age of four, later earning her membership in the Royal Academy (ballet) and competing in ballroom dance. Continuing her formal studies at the University of BC, she studied theatre and earned a degree in education. Throughout her career, Linda has directed, choreographed, and conducted student performances. She has recorded and written original scripts, stories, and songs for educators and publishers in both English and French. In addition, she has continued to study voice and has performed as a soloist and with various church and community choirs (especially enjoying “Handel’s Messiah”). This is Linda’s first season with Fighting Chance Productions, and she is absolutely thrilled to play Rosie, the feisty granny (who sings and dances through the octogenarian years–as is Linda’s hope for herself).
