DAVID COOK
(Tom Coterel)
is returning to the Plaza stage for the third time - let’s hope he finally gets it right. He was in Plaza’s inaugural production of this same show in 2006, and will try to remember to not show up at the old Putt-Putt on opening night. He also had the privilege of sharing the role of Radames with castmate Kyle Adams in Plaza's award winning AIDA in 2009. He’s a bit overwhelmed by sharing the stage with such a talented and truly great group of castmates. He's sorry to any of them that he actually punches during the run. As always, thanks to director Stef, and to his favorite theater producers in the world. Much love to the beautiful people he lives with and who let him do this theater thing - wife Shoshana and daughter Cosette - and Happy New Year!

TINA BARRUS
(Florence Raines)
You have probably seen Tina "behind-the-counter" here at Plaza, but it's a rare occasion she gets to get onstage. Well, "Toes" is a show Tina has always loved and she's grateful for the chance to play in this show with such a great director and cast. Other roles you might remember Tina from include Lena Lamont in SINGIN' IN THE RAIN, Fairy Mae in THE CURIOUS SAVAGE and Essie in YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU. Tina is also the proud mother of six amazing kids, the most recent being 6 month old son JJ. In her spare time, Tina makes costumes, costumes and more costumes and she LOVES it. Tina was also honored to be a recipient of two 2009 Column Awards - the first as Costumer of Plaza Theatre Company's 2008 production of AIDA and the second as Co-Director of AIDA with husband JaceSon.
