Kristina Reeher

Kris is taking the GACT stage as an actor, after several year’s break.  Being on stage is one of Kris’s most treasured pastimes, a lifelong passion.  Kris’s favorite roles with GACT include; Annelle (Steel Magnolias), Glinda (Wizard of Oz) and Janet (Drowsy Chaperone).  Kris also loved her time directing the amazing GACT cast/crew in Company, several years ago.

Thank you to Maria for the opportunity to play pretend with my friends again, to GACT cast and crew for always feeling like home, and to my family for the support and encouragement.  Break a Leg Nerds!

Raymond Yurko

After several years away from GACT I have returned to take a "flight" in Airport Encounters. This has been a joy to do, with a cast that is amazing. While serving in the Army I auditioned for the Army Soldier Show in 1996, where we sang and danced for the troops in US and European commands.

In 2017 I  started stage theater with GACT for "Blame it on the Movies!", with Maria Ackley directing. followed by "Annie" in 2018, "How to Succeed in Business..." In 2019. I have also performed for the Hermitage Global Methodist Church Dinner Theater since 2017. Thank you all for supporting community theater and a big thank you to my friends and family in supporting me in what I truly love doing.

She’s also enjoyed involvement with the Hickory Methodist Church drama group. She thanks her patient spouse, Wayne, and her family for all their love and support through the years.  Thanks to Maria for her direction in this fun show!
