Meet the Cast and Crew of
Goodnight Desdemona
(Good Morning Juliet)
by Ann-Marie MacDonald
directed by Brian Mather
Constance Ledbelly falls down a rabbit hole. In this exuberant comedy, a scatterbrained academic deciphers an ancient manuscript she believes to be the original source of Othello and Romeo & Juliet. Before she knows it, she wanders into the plays themselves. With an abundance of twists, fights, dances, seductions and wild surprises, the play is an absolute joy of theatricality,

STEPHANIE BROSSARD
Ramona, Mercutio, Desdemona, Servant
Stephanie Brossard (she/her) is thrilled to be part of this ECHO Players’ production. Her first Nanaimo performance was a Panto at NTG in 2016. Since then, she has had the honour of performing with several different theatre groups in the mid-Island area. Stephanie enjoys the challenge of playing multiple characters. The record so far is 7 in the Western Edge production of The Untold Legend of Imogen Flight by Mary Littlejohn. Most recently, she acted in another of Mary’s wonderful plays: Poetry in Motion, which won Best Play at ECHO’s One Act Play Festival this past November.
MORGAN GOULD
Iago, Tybalt
Morgan Gould is thrilled to return to the stage with Echo! You may recognize him from ECHO players summer comedies The Play That Goes Wrong and A Grand Time in the Rapids. You may have also seen him onstage at NTG's Ripcord, Mother Goose, and last year's One Act Play Festival in The First to Stand. Morgan is a passionate artist, and can often be found behind the lens of a camera (he even did the poster for this play!). He would like to thank his partners, children, and cats for their love and support

TRISTAN POELZER
Student, Juliet
Tristan is excited to play a version of Juliet who is somehow even more dramatic, confusing, and passionate than Shakespeare intended. Previous credits include Joan in Three-Legged Dog’s Production of Fun Home, and the Acrobat in ECHO Players Matilda. Outside of theatre, Tristan enjoys dancing, avoiding family feuds, and wondering why Shakespearean teenagers are never supervised. She hopes you enjoy the chaos!
NOAH ROSNAU
Chorus, Soldier of Cyprus, Romeo
Noah is excited to join this amazing cast on stage in this quirky take on Shakespeare classics. When not on stage and not in tights, Noah spends his time attending Vancouver Island University, studying Hospitality Management and Baking. If you're wondering where you’ve seen this fool before, it may have been in ECHO Players: Matilda (Michael), Narnia (Peter), or CYMC's Legally Blonde (Kyle). Noah has enjoyed every moment of this show and its wonderful crew and can't wait to share a little of that joy with you!
