Meet The Cast

We are so grateful to have worked with so many brilliant performing artists over the years. Philadelphia and arts communities across the country are burgeoning with ETC alums. Meet our most recent casts and collaborators; you’ll see them on stage at a school, community venue or theatre near you soon!

play Heather Duke in Durango Theatreworks production of Heathers the Musical, Ronnie
McGowan in Merely Players’ Hands on a Hard Body, and Rosie Alvarez in Durango Arts

her cat, Jasper.

Some of her favorite stage credits include Bessie in a reading of Eclipsed (RunBoyRun Productions), Actor in Jack and the Beanstalk (Curio Theatre Company), and Maria/Antonia (u/s) in Twelfth Night o Lo Que Quieras (Delaware Shakespeare). Sharese believes making art is a radical, necessary act and she’s proud to participate in it whenever she can!

Jackie Marino-Thomas (she/they) Jackie is so excited to venture into her second tour with the Enchantment Theater Company! You may have seen her as the princess in The Brave Little Tailor this past spring, or at other theaters in Philadelphia. When she isn’t acting, she works as a social media manager and walks dogs. Jackie wants to thank her friends and family for all of their support through the years! 

Mikel Wright is primarily a musical theater actor who recently closed his first Shakespeare production of Juliet&Romeo done by The Drama Group of Germantown. This is his first time working with the Enchantment Theater Company, and he is very excited to entertain the youth across the city and further. Mikel has never done children’s theater before and is eager to learn a slightly new branch of theater, as well as inspire the youth in his home city to hopefully pursue something similar in the field. Previous credits of Mikel include starring as the lead in an award-nominated student-made film, A Little Blue by Solomon Troupe. As well as working with American Immersion Theater Philadelphia. Mikel is pleased to play the role of ‘Daddy’ in Mommy’s Khimar!

Joyous recent credits are  ” Suddenly Last Summer, “ Die-Cast,” Hatshepsut“, Beacon Theater ” Comedy of Errors” and Shakespear in Clark Park …. Joyous wants to thank his family and friends for their support. Joyous would also like to send a BIG “I LOVE YOU” to their lovely fiance Kishia Nixon.
