Bodie currently works full time at his own graphic/web/video/etc. design studio (Bodwa Productions) he started 26 years ago.

I can’t touch my shoulder with my fingers of the same side of arm. I usually tell people it’s because of my muscles...
I’m grateful for my wife and family, incredible friends and for what Pickleville does for the world in bringing great entertainment and fun. The best part is that attending a show helps you forget any of the worries you have in life and transports you into top notch enjoyment for every age group.
Chelsea

Chelsea is thrilled to join The Addams Family for another delightfully spooky season! This year has been extra meaningful as she recently sent off her oldest son, who is serving a mission in Panama City, Panama—an adventure that’s been a blessing for him and the whole family. (We love you Elliot!!) When she’s not in the gym as a dedicated CrossFitter, Chelsea can be found in her favorite role: full-time hype squad and biggest fan of her four amazing kids.

Dan

Dan Call is a larger-than-life (figuratively and per pound) character actor who believes every role should be big—and every brisket smoked low and slow. Dan believes in theatre's power to transform and bring people together. By day, he builds Discovery Experiences online and in centers for FamilySearch to help you discover your family story; by night, he moonlights as a videographer, designer, and marketer for CenterPoint Theatre when he is on stage. This is Dan’s fifth time playing Fester Addams, and his greatest fear is that the role might permanently stick. His greatest role, though, is husband to his leading lady, Angie, (who he is proud to share the stage with again) and dad to four incredible kids (plus newest Call family cast member, daughter-in-law Hallie). Catch him this holiday season as Jean (the Narrator) in A Christmas Story at CenterPoint—he promises you won’t shoot your eye out. This one is for you Greg.

Dan prides himself in the fact that he gowned up and caught all four of kids at birth, nearly dropping only one of them. Sorry Kaylee.
This is Dan's 31st production he has been a part of. He has been blessed to share the stage with his wife Angie in 13 out of those 31 productions over the years.
Dan thinks his wife is seriously the coolest. Angie is like a Japanese bullet train and Dan is like a 1945 rusted out red caboose who is holding on for dear life. Pray for him.
Angie, Josh & Hallie, Natalie, Kaylee, Jackson, and Richard. The entire Griffiths Clan and especially his amazing father-in-law, Greg, who recently passed away.

J.R. Haynie

J.R. is an oral surgeon and a proud product of Brigham City. Along the way, he has earned an impressive collection of alma maters: Box Elder High School, Snow College, Utah State University, The Ohio State University, and Indiana University—making him a Bee, Badger, Aggie, Buckeye, and Hoosier. Married for 23 years, he returned to the Pickleville stage as a Pirate Ancestor, proving once again that some things can’t be kept buried… including memories of when he proposed to his wife right here on this very stage. He always suspected she might be a witch, because from the very first time he saw her, she had him completely under her spell. Together, they’ve raised four kids—three boys and one very clearly favorite daughter, Lucy—who dreams of becoming a singer someday. He loves golf, ultimate frisbee, and occasionally confusing his teens with outdated slang like “Skibidi” and “Six Seven,” much to their horror and amusement. J.R. lives by a simple motto: Live on Purpose. He finds humor, joy, and a little chaos everywhere—from the stage to the golf course to the family dinner table—and always has a story ready to tell. He has a zero-tolerance policy for cheating in board games or cards, and an unshakable hatred of pickles—two things he takes very seriously.

Lincoln is pumped to finally join the Addams Family cast! After years hanging out in the wings he’s ready to bring some Pugsley mischief to the stage. Unlike his gloomy character, Lincoln has one of the happiest, most contagious smiles you’ll meet.

Shayne

Shayne doesn’t have as many musical theater credits as he would like, mostly because he’s a founding member of the a cappella band, Eclipse 6, and their performance schedule does not play nice with other commitments. Shayne has had some amazing Eclipse 6 experiences; including eight albums, performing in the opening and closing ceremonies of the SLC Winter Olympics, and trips to places like Shanghai, Thailand, and Hong Kong. Shayne and his wife write Christmas parodies for the group each year, and these include “Hamildolph” and “The Greatest Snowman.” Coming in November and filmed at Pickleville Playhouse, this year's parody is called "Mean" and is a retelling of the Grinch story using songs from Wicked. You can check them out on YouTube or go to www.eclipse6.com.
