Natasha Cederberg - Writer/Director

Natasha decided to try her hand at acting during her freshman year of high school with her home school group's production of Little Women. After that, she was hooked and appeared in Jane Eyre during her sophomore year, The Beverly Hillbillies her junior year, and Anne of Avonlea her senior year. She took a fifteen-year hiatus after high school before joining Emmett Community Playhouse for the 2021 production of A Christmas Carol, starring as Mrs. Cratchit. She has since co-directed her first published play, Mystery at Whimbowly Manor, and independently wrote and directed the first Emmett Mystery Dinner Theater performance A Murder Masquerade. In her spare time, Natasha enjoys spending time with her husband and friends, traveling, writing, and reading. She is also a published playwright and author.

James Dymoke - Hermes

There isn’t too much to say about that character James Dymoke (Hermes). He is an Emmett native who started acting when he was 16 (now 43) and has had various roles in a handful of plays through the Emmett Community Playhouse and V.B.S (Vacation Bible School) through the Emmett Nazarene Church. If he isn’t working or volunteering at his church, he is either working on another play, or tinkering on a computer somewhere.

Jadie Mitchell - Aphrodite

Jadie’s admiration for writing stems from her love of storytelling and music. From a young age she had fallen in love with the aforementioned arts—and when she discovered “Hamilton”, and “Annie Get Your Gun”, it was all over. Aside from high-school drama productions such as “The Play That Goes Wrong” and a shortened version of “Hamlet,” her first appearance was in the Emmett Community Playhouse’s production of “Circles of Grace”, which sadly didn’t make it to the stage. Now a published author with one book and another in the works, Jadie is stoked to play Aphrodite in “Gad Zeus!”.

Colton DePuy - Ares

Colton's love for sound design stems from his passion for music and movies. He pursued a Certification in Audio Production at Fall Sail University. His involvement with theater began in 2021 as the Sound Designer for the Emmett Community Playhouse production of A Christmas Carol, followed by Mystery at Whimbowly Manor. Colton also was the Audio & Lighting Technician for Atypical Boy, which won Outstanding Sound Design at the I-ACT Festival. The Emmett Mystery Dinner Theater's production of A Murder Masquerade was Colton's first onstage appearance as an actor.

Sarah Ridinger - Athena

Sarah has always had a love for acting and the theater arts. She is an active member of the Emmett Community Playhouse and serves as the Secretary for the Emmett Community Playhouse Board of Directors. Her most recent theater experiences have been The Christmas Carol, Mystery At Whimbowly Manor, The Wacky Horror Cyber Show, and Atypical Boy. Sarah also starred in Emmett Mystery Dinner Theater's first production, A Murder Masquerade, last year.
Sarah is so excited to be part of this group as we provide dinner theater to the Emmett Community.

Ben Moore - Apollo

Ben is a local agent associate with Farm Bureau Insurance in Emmett Idaho. He is married with a daughter on the way in August.
Ben started his acting career at the age of 5 in the role of young Mowgli in The Jungle Book, through the North of the River Community Theatre in Bakersfield California. In later years Ben “Starred” in other roles like Shermy in Charlie Brown Christmas, and Gargoyle #3 on the castle walls of Beauty and the Beast. Even venturing into the role of Cinderella’s step mother for a performance benefiting special needs children in Escondido California in 2014. Ben is returning to acting after a 10 year hiatus, and is excited to take on the role of the Sun god Apollo! Go Bills!

Joe Fuller - Zeus

Joe is a parent to his 6 wonderful kids and a grandparent to his 5 beautiful grandchildren. He spent most of his adult life in the military, corrections, and various types of security assignments. He joined theater in 2022 when coworkers convinced him to be in a local play. His first role was as Fred in the ECP production of Mystery at Whimbowly Manor and immediately fell in love with performing and the creative process behind putting on shows. Alongside his newfound love of theater, he has also found valuable friendships with the amazing people of the Emmett Community Playhouse. He played a member of the ensemble in Atypical Boy, an ECP competition production that was one of the winners in the 2022 I-ACT Festival.

Valerie Lawrence - Hera

As a lifelong learner, Valerie thought she might peek around the corner to see what this stage acting was about. Gad Zeus is her first theater appearance! Until this role, the closest she's gotten to acting was in 1992 as an extra in the film Demolition Man. Valerie and her husband have called Emmett their home for over 25 years. She enjoys spending time in nature and with her family (including 13 remarkable grandchildren!). As a dietitian, she loves everything food-related: growing, talking about, and sharing it with others

A Murder Masquerade

Inspired by Venice’s famed Comedia dell’ Arte, "A Murder Masquerade" by Natasha Cederberg is a well-designed, whodunit mystery riddled with witty banter and thrilling drama. The performance includes opportunities for audience participation and a “Question and Answer” session allowing attendees to unravel who had the means, motive, and opportunity to carry out murder.
