A veteran of the stage and four unsuccessful reality TV pilots, Blinky trained at the prestigious (and now defunct) Muffinbridge Academy of Dramatic Gestures. He’s known for playing pompous aristocrats, confused vicars, and once, a haunted fireplace. He dedicates this performance to his five cats: Dame Judi, Dame Maggie, Dame Helen, Sir Ian, and Greg.
Tansy made her theatrical debut at age seven as “Third Fern” in A Midsummer Night’s Nap. Since then, she’s wowed audiences with her ability to cry on cue and her unmatched collection of dramatic hats. When not performing, she can be found teaching interpretive dance to swans.
Crumpet is an award-losing actor best known for his work in experimental pantomime and a three-year stint as “Inspector Shuffles” on the short-lived crime series Clue Me Gently. He is thrilled to return to the stage and promises not to accidentally eat any more props during this run.
Violet’s career spans stage, screen, and a regrettable cruise ship stint involving juggling flaming teacups. A founding member of the Baroque Re-Enactment Society, she approaches every role with elegance, mischief, and at least one fog machine. This is her 19th portrayal of a medium, but her first without a live owl.
Spanner fell into acting after literally falling into an audition. Known for his deadpan delivery and suspicious knowledge of antique silverware, he’s delighted to reprise the role of a butler—his seventh in as many years. Off-stage, Spanner enjoys long silences, polishing things, and pretending to be asleep at cast parties.
Mimsy once described herself as “half actor, half metronome” and has spent her career ticking between the two. Her voice has been described as “unexpectedly echoey,” and she has narrated everything from Shakespeare to fire drills. She is proud to finally play a clock after narrowly missing out on the role in Beauty and the Beast (she was cast as a drawer instead).
