Bridal Fellowship of the Rings

Rachel and Mollie have been friends for over 20 years, since meeting in Gifted classes at Hunter's Creek Middle School. They bonded quickly over musical theatre, and continue to trade hyperfixations to this very day. Quite possibly literally this very moment.

Ian and Mollie have been friends since Ian was about 4. Up until that time, Mollie had been wondering when this baby in the house would stop crying or leave. Since she learned that having a sibling is actually awesome, they've been best friends who happen to share parents as well.

Jacob is so excited to be in this production of Mollie and Chris' Wedding. Some previous credits include The Unbreakable Boy (Austin), The Rose Tattoo (Bruno), and John Mulaney and the Sack Lunch Bunch (himself). He would like to thank Mollie for being a great sister, and for finally being shorter than him even though she is 17 and a half years older.

Mikee and Mollie have been friends since 2008-  he was a Junior, she was a Senior, can I make it anymore obvious? Having lived through The Great and Unnecessary Friendship Drama of 2009 at Freedom High School, they came out the other side cringing deeply and promising to be more stable adults. We'll see how that turns out.

Chelsea and Mollie have been friends since 2018 during a shadowcast production of Star Trek TNG with Chelsea as Picard and Mollie as Troi. Despite many more adventures since then, Facebook memories seems to think that is the only time they've ever been in the same room together. Chelsea and Mollie truly bonded after their shadowcast production of Jaws and if you know them, you've already heard all about it.

Mollie and Harper first met in 2013 as interns at Jujamcyn Theatres. They became fast work friends, but lost touch. Four years later, they reconnected when Mollie was cast as Willow in a shadowcast production of the Buffy musical episode and Harper happened to be Spike! (Mollie probably never thought about that episode again.) Eventually Harper cast Mollie as Chief Brody in Jaws and life was never the same as they descended deeper into madness.

Liann and Mollie met in 2018 and had to get close very quickly- quite literally, as they were both playing Dr. Horrible. More shows followed, and their friendship was solidified with each and every one. The only hitch was when Liann was so good as Aladdin-with-a-Split-Personality that Mollie was genuinely terrified of her, but it's water under the bridge since then.

Mollie met Kat in 2018 and soon enough Kat was performing in shadowcasts. Eventually, Kat and Mollie would go on to perform in an incredible play about an infamously bad movie together. Kat also grew up in Orlando; Kat may have even seen Mollie perform in a youth production of Urinetown! For which Mollie has apologized to her profusely.

Adam and Mollie met during the highly lauded shadowcast performance of Jaws. Mollie knew they would be great friends when Adam had to slap Mollie in character and couldn't get through it once in rehearsal without breaking. Adam is also an Orlandoian! He, Kat, and Mollie all worked at Universal Orlando because Disney wouldn't take them. Just kidding- Adam just really wanted to listen to the Shrek-in-the-Swamp Karaoke Dance Party on loop for the rest of his natural life.

Kailey is Mollie's cousin! She is 6 years old and already a natural performer. She enjoys Barbies, Disney Princesses, and when Mollie sings Disney songs. Her favorite color is pink and she makes a delicious batch of cookies. She is a beautiful dancer and is also great at sports! Kailey's smile lights up a room : )
