Caroline Prince (Bev/Kathy)

M. Caroline Prince has been happily pretending to be other people onstage for more than forty years.  A recent transplant from Huntsville, Alabama, she has most recently appeared as the maid in the garden in Independent Musical Productions’ Jesus Christ Superstar, a member of the ensemble in Alabama Creative Artists’ Love, Loss, and What I Wore, and Sheila in Theater Huntsville’s The Boys Next Door.  She sends her thanks and love to those who put up with her, most especially the cast and crew of this show and her beloved husband, Martin.

Doug Allen (Russ/Dan)

Doug is excited to be back on stage in a Circle Player’s production. He was seen previously in One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest and The Grapes of Wrath. He loves Clybourne Park because it tells a beautiful story of how  our prejudices have shifted and been shaped culturally during his lifetime. He is currently a professional mental health counselor. Doug started acting on the stage at age 4 and has performed in many theatrical productions along with appearances in commercials and feature films. Some of his favorite and more recent theatrical productions are All My Sons, Rumors, The Miracle Worker, The Normal Heart, Bent and Pride and Prejudice. He wants to thank Daniel for casting him alongside a wonderful group of talented actors. And, he sends a huge amount of love to Kathleen for supporting him “playing” in another show.

Chandra Walton (Francine/Lena)

Tennessee native/Chattanooga-born Chandra has always had a thirst for the stage and screen. While performing as a child, she developed her talents; and while a student  at Tennessee State University, she honed her skills. She has performed on stage in plays ranging from Romeo and Juliet to and Where Did I Go Wrong and has been blessed to take classes from highly-regarded actors such as Tasha Smith (Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls), Myketi Williamson (Forrest Gump) and Carl Payne (The Cosby Show and Martin). .All Chandra wants to do is act—and she credits everything to God and her granny. "She was and still is the most funny and most godly woman I knew. She was MY supporter and my best friend.”

Ethan Treutle (Jim/Tom)

Ethan is a Nashville transplant for a little more than a year. He received his bachelor's degree in Theatre Performance from Marshall University and has performed all over from West Virginia to Edinburgh, Scotland (mostly West Virginia though).
