DOUG HENRY
(Harvey Feldman, Music Director)
In the summer season of 1985, Doug professionally performed in several of the nightclubs or “showrooms,” as many were called, in New York’s famous “borscht circuit.” He was a member of a headline act of six men known as the WINGED VICTORY SINGERS. The hotels, Kutsher’s, Brown’s, Stevensville, Grossinger & Brickman, where he performed, were huge layouts with nicely furnished showrooms for a 1000 or more people. Each had their own “house” band. People from NYC and other NE cities would visit these cooler climate locations in the summer to escape the heat. As Doug put it, “the clubs were packed.” Historically, many a famous entertainer would perform at these nightclubs to “try out” new material or just for work when their calendars permitted. Sad to say, the borscht circuit is now a thing of the past. Doug’s professional theatrical experience also includes lead & supporting roles in several productions in Kansas, New York and in Texas as well as several community theatre roles at PTC, the last being General Waverly in WHITE CHRISTMAS. (Psalms 103:1-5)

ROBERTO ANTONIO EL POLLO
(as Himself)
Roberto (pronounced Rrrro-berrrr-to) is so happy to be in his first Plaza Theatre show. He is looking forward to many more opportunities to work at Plaza…and someday even earning his very own 20th show Plaza robe (mainly because he is rather chilly after that plucking incident in his past). Roberto likes starting anew, being called Angel Face, waiting impatiently, actin' like a lovesick fool, playing solitaire, laughing in the rain, Betty Grable, and believes that love will keep us together indeed. He would like thank Aaron Siler for taking him away from Col. Sanders and giving him the chance to work with this cast of talented humans. Roberto’s new favorite quote is by Muhammad Ali, “A rooster crows only when it sees the light. Put him in the dark and he’ll never crow. I have seen the light and I’m crowing.”
