Meet The Cast

Gregory Feinberg

Arthur Jamison

Greg is overjoyed to debut with S&B as Arthur! Locally Greg was in Jesus Christ Superstar (Priest 1), Spelling Bee (Mitch) and some Improv. His youth theatre credits include The Actor’s Nightmare (George), 1776 (John Adams), Fiddler (Motel), Evita, Death, and The Skin of our Teeth. Greg worked with showbiz legends (incl. Robert Morse, Martin Charnin, & Loni Ackerman) in a Philly tryout for the Broadway musical Ain’t Broadway Grand. (He didn’t go to Broadway, but he did get to skip school for 3 months) Greg thanks the cast & crew for making this so fun, and his family for their support! **Sidebar: Greg has been a trial juror 3 times, and hopes he doesn’t get a 4th summons until after this show.

Stefanie Austin

Louise Jamison  |  Fight Captain

Stefanie is a co-founder of Sock & Buskin Theatre Company and has served in nearly every onstage and offstage role in community theatre since 2014. Most recently, she directed Agatha Christie’s The Rats and was on stage as a Protean in Forum. After Guilty Conscience, you’ll find her back behind the scenes this November, directing a 90’s-inspired murder mystery, Kill Me, Baby, One More Time, which she co-authored with her friend, Kari. Stefanie thanks the cast and crew of this show for a fun and memorable experience; her family for always supporting her theatrical tendencies; and the S&B community for their enthusiastic support.

Rod Egan

Prosecutor

“I’m not a real doctor attorney, I just play one on TV stage.” Rod has been waiting like forever for a chance to say that. For a decade and a half, he’s been acting in local theater in unmemorable roles. When not on stage, Rod leads a quiet life with wife, Beth, and two inherited aging border collies, whose passion is barking at the neighbors. Though otherwise retired, Rod is senior grass height maintenance technician at the Egan estate in Oak Hall. The only legal advice he is permitted to offer is: don’t ask him for any.

Amelia Lojewski

Jackie Willis

Lynn is delighted to join the cast of this hilarious romp. She has participated in several S&B productions over the past few years and loves the adventure each new production brings. She is always excited to share the stage with friends both old and new. Lynn is buoyed by the creativity and camaraderie of the S&B community and is forever grateful to be a part of the magic! As always, she is humbled and inspired by the talent and commitment of the cast and crew. Thank you for another fun and wild ride!

Meet The Production Team

Zachary Myers

Director, Spot Operator

Zach is excited to be involved in another Sock & Buskin production and making his directing debut. While he questions the judgement of those who put him in charge of something, he is extremely grateful for the opportunity. Outside of theatre, Zach can be found avoiding his dissertation. He greatly appreciates S&B for being a great community and giving him a way to procrastinate. Zach would like to thank the amazing team that has brought this show to life. The dedication of the actors, the creativity of the set, prop, and costume designers, and the organizational skills of the stage managers are all astounding. Lastly, and as always, Zach is eternally grateful for his best friend Lilli for helping him find such an amazing community.

 
 

Kari Williamson

Producer, Stage Crew

Kari Williamson is a co-founder of Sock & Buskin Theatre Company and is delighted to be producing Guilty Conscience. Kari has worn just about every hat in theatre over the years—from producer and director to actor, writer, and occasional problem-solver of whatever crisis happens to arise five minutes before curtain. She was recently seen onstage as Sandra in Agatha Christie’s The Rats, and will be playing the role of Tiffini in Kill Me, Baby, One More Time in November. She is incredibly grateful to the cast, crew, creative team, and everyone who continues to support local theatre—and hopes you enjoy Guilty Conscience!

Eryn Pacey

Stage Manager

Eryn is excited to be returning to Sock & Buskin as stage manager for Guilty Conscience! Her stage debut with the company was as Jennifer in Agatha Christie's The Rats, after having taken a long hiatus from theatre. She is happy to have found such a welcoming group and hopes they will continue to let her play with them. Many thanks to the cast and crew for being so great to work with. Enjoy the show!

 
 

Kim Plummer

Costume and Props

Kim is excited to be the costume/props lead for this production.  She is employed as the Assistant Director of Alumni Relations for Penn State Dickinson Law/School of International Affairs at Penn State University. She has appeared in many local theatre productions over the last 16 years.  Her last role was Domina in  A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, where she also served as the costume and props lead.  She wishes to thank her family and her theatre family for their encouragement and inspiration.

Nathan Glunt

Sound Designer

Nate has been involved in live sound since he was a teenager. He has helped set up audio equipment and mixed a variety of venues including live stage, small bars, and outdoor amphitheatres. He has served as sound designer on several of S&B’s shows. Nate works at AccuWeather, designing and maintaining studios as an Engineer. Aside from live sound production, Nate is an avid musician always looking for gigs in the surrounding areas.

Donald Townsend

Assistant Stage Manager

Donald is making his behind-the-scenes debut as Assistant Stage Manager for Guilty Conscience! After stepping into the theatre world for the first time as Jeb Stanley in Wheel of Misfortune earlier this year, he’s grown more of an appreciation for the craft, and encourages anyone who, like himself, shoulders a heavy curiosity saddled with fear to step into new territory. Sock & Buskin has been a wonderfully welcoming community for such opportunities!

Sabrina Kaufman

Set Designer

Still relatively new to the Happy Valley and S&B, Sabrina is enjoying this opportunity to get back into set design/construction/prop fabrication. Previous relevant credits include The Rats, Amateurs, Harvey, This Old House, The Country Wife, Misery, Grease, Clue, Mamma Mia!, and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Phillip Zapkin

Lighting Designer

Phillip has done much of what there is to do for S&B productions–directed, dramaturged, acted, written, worked tech. This is his first show taking the lead as lighting designer and technician, though he has worked as a lighting assistant before. Just think, without Phillip none of you would actually get to see Guilty Conscience. Something to ponder.
