We'll ring in 2007 with "The Housekeeper," another collaboration with The AJ Ensemble of Chicago, Illinois. Other 2007 plays include "Love Letters," "Bus Stop," and "1959 Pink Thunderbird."  

Please see our calendar for the latest in schedule information and updates.

We are blessed with a wonderful group of advisors and volunteers too numerous to mention.  Those courageous enough to submit bios are:

Mike Frost

When Mike is not gracing our stage as Technical Director, set builder, and advisor to our production meetings, he is the hardest working boatwright this side of the Mississippi. He enjoys sailing, mountain climbing, and spending time with his better half, his dog, Fountain. Mike made his acting debut in 2005 and proved a natural.  He has already delighted audiences with his roles as Walter in "Artichoke," Bernie in "Cooking With Gus," and George in "Same Time, Next Year."

Mike was an Air Force baby and spent much of his childhood overseas. He has seen much of the United States, graduating high school in Delaware and later moving with the company he worked for providing high pressure washers for clean-up to places in Cleveland, Syracuse, NY, and San Francisco. He almost became a Texan in 1990, when he moved to Corpus Christi, but he slipped and had to move to New Orleans in 1993. He made the right choice, and became a true transplant when he moved to Port Aransas in 1996, and then here to Aransas Pass in 2002.

We're glad he decided to stay because he is a very integral part of what we do here at the Rialto, whether it's showing his dedication in an acting role, building sets, assistant directing, or stage managing, Mike has a big job here.

Cindy is married to Phillip Savoy, also of Aransas Pass, and has one son, Jordan Hamilton. Jordan is also involved in the theater as a "techie."

When Cindy grows up, she wants to be Loretta Lynn.
