 Jeff
is pleased as punch to be continuing the saga that is Parenting 101 with
the people he loves so much. A graduate of SUNY Cortland with a BA in
Musical Theatre, he has been performing all his life (though he's only
been getting paid for half of it). Jeff has performed in 37 states in
the last 3 years and has yet to work with a show and a cast that he
enjoys as much as Parenting 101! Endless thanks go out the entire
Holson family for their trust in him; to Jay, Stephen, Lindsay and
Amanda for dealing with the Marmaduke and, of course, to his parents.
Without them, he would not be on this stage today. Thank you everyone!
 Amanda
Danskin is proud to have originated her role in
Parenting 101. She comes to St. Louis from Rochester,
NY where, along with Parenting 101, she also performed
in The News in Revue and Shout! A Mod Musical with The
Downstairs Cabaret Theatre. Other roles over the years
include Hermia in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Sugar in
Sugar, Columbia in The Rocky Horror Show, and a year
long tour with Sesame Street Live playing Terry The
Fix-It Gal. Amanda has also appeared on various
television shows including Blind Date, Russian Roulette, and America's
Most Wanted (rest assured, she was not the one they wanted). Amanda
holds a BM from the University of Central Oklahoma and currently resides
in New York City. She wishes to thank Jay and Nancy for all of their
support and her family for taking her seriously when she said she wanted
to sing
and dance for a living.
 Stephen
Smith is so grateful to be involved in a show with such amazing people!
The cast is truly a blessing to work with, as is the creative team.
This is the second incarnation of Parenting that Stephen has been
involved with, having just finished a stint in
Rochester performing this along with News in Revue and Plaid Tidings
(Sparky) at GEVA, and the Downstairs Cabaret Theatre. Before that
Stephen had just completed The Full Monty (Jerry) at the Palace Theatre
in New Hampshire. His other favorite past roles include Saturday Night
Fever (Frank Jr.), Grease! (Sonny), Cabaret (Bobby), Cinderella (Prince
Christopher), and Bent (Greta) to name a few. Originally a graduate of
the University of Tennessee, he has traveled the world on national
tours, cruise ships and even gone as far as a gig with Disney in Tokyo,
Japan! When not in a show, you can often find Stephen dancing on a BIG
piano (a la Tom Hanks) at FAO
Schwarz in New York City. "Love and happiness to my family, to my
friends (my family away from home), to this cast, to Nancy, and
especially Jay. Blessed be!"
 Lindsay
Quinn couldn't be happier to be performing with the Parenting 101 gang
here in St. Louis! In the fall, she appeared in Parenting 101, as well
as The News in Revue, at the Downstairs Cabaret Theatre, in Rochester,
NY. She spent this past summer as an apprentice with the Williamstown
Theatre Festival, performing in WING IT! on the main stage and was
featured in their famous Late Night Cabaret. Past credits include The
Dinosaur Musical and The Full Monty, both with the Roxy Regional Theatre
in Clarksville, TN. A graduate of Muhlenberg College, Lindsay has a
B.A. in Theatre: her favorite roles include Dorine in Tartuffe and Conchetta in Once
Upon a Time in New Jersey. Lindsay would like to thank Nancy and Jay
for this fantastic opportunity. Love and thanks to Mom, Dad and Cait.
