He enjoys spending time outdoors with his wife and daughters, and they all love southern Indiana!

Nick Eads

Nick has been at the theater since last year with his daughter Levacy and helped bring A Christmas Carol to life with his expertise in special effects. This is his first show as a cast member!  Outside of the theatre, He is a basic family man; he works a lot of hours and spends what time he has left with family. Nick lives in  Bedford with his wife, Lori, and between the two of them, they have nine kiddos, three of whom also live with them. Nick and his wife also have 5 grandchildren who keep them busy. Aside from that, you might catch Nick out fishing, hunting, or mowing with some music or some Bible lessons playing in his earbuds.

Kevin Giggy

A retired pastor and Mitchell High School French and English teacher, he currently works part-time delivering for Engleking Pharmacy.  He and his wife, Onalee,  have two children, Darrin and Rachelle, and four grandchildren.  He played Mr. Fezziwig in last year’s A Christmas Carol.  The Best Christmas Pageant Ever is Kevin’s second acting experience, and it has been extra special because his granddaughter, Abi, is part of the cast.  Being a part of the Little Theatre is a very memorable and rewarding experience, which he highly recommends.

Lauren Mitchell

Lauren Mitchell is thrilled to appear as Irma Slocum in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. This production marks her debut performance with The Little Theatre of Bedford and a joyful return to the stage after many years. Stepping back into the theatre feels like coming home, and Lauren is savoring every aspect of the experience. She hopes this is just the beginning of many more performances to come, both on and off the stage.  

Before moving to Indiana, Lauren studied acting at Action Theatre Conservatory in Clifton, New Jersey, and enjoyed ministering in her church's theatre ministry, where she played several roles, including Mrs. Cratchit in Scrooged, her church's rendition of A Christmas Carol.  

Lauren's dream role is Miss Hannigan, but only because she's too "tall" to play Annie! 

Christylle Tester

Christylle has always loved melodrama! Her family is fun-loving for the most part, and the stick-in-the-muds are literally stuck with them! She loves reading as her main pastime and otherwise enjoys music and friends. This play has been a mix of all the things Christylle loves, and she hopes to share that joyful experience with everyone who comes to share some time with this cast at the Little Theatre of Bedford.

Brandy Mounsey

Being in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever with her son, Vincent,  has been one of the neatest experiences. Stepping into the making of this play is like walking through a door into another world, right here in Bedford, Indiana. This show is Brandy’s first play. She is a homeschooling mom, wife, and wreath maker, and is super excited to be a part of this production.
