Tyson Coady (Glen Guglia): Tyson is super excited to be playing Glen Guglia in Fighting Chance’s production of The Wedding Singer. Tyson is thrilled he didn’t have to choose between his last production; Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and the Wedding Singer, which rehearsed simultaneously with just a two day break between runs! If you didn’t see Tyson in Joseph as brother Issachar and the Butler, you may have also seen him in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels at the Vancouver Playhouse, Merrily We Roll Along with APPLAUSE!, or even as Roger (Understudy), the Man, and Gordon in Fighting Chance’s production of RENT last Summer! Tyson would like to thank his parents and his girlfriend Kirsten, for all their support.
Sean Parsons (George): Sean is so excited to be a part of another Fighting Chance production in a role so drastically different from some of his most recent credits. This is Sean’s first production as a graduate from Capilano University’s Musical Theatre program, having just finished a run of Footloose (Reverend Shaw) and Romeo & Juliet (Lord Capulet) in the fall semester. You may also remember him from last summer in FCP’s Rent (Ensemble, Angel & Benny U/S) and Reefer Madness: The Musical (The Lecturer) with j.e. Productions. He would like to thank you all for supporting local theatre! Get ready to Move That Thang!
