Nan Turner is a songwriter, musician, improviser/actor, and dancer. She lived in NYC for 16 years before moving to KC in 2012. She toured the U.S. and Europe for many years playing drums in the rock band Schwervon! She has choreographed dances for Kimya Dawson, Kelley Deal of the Breeders, True Lions, and Chase the Horseman. Her current project Nan + the One Nite Stands, ranges from squalling guitar songs to theatrical poetry with dance moves. In addition to her opus Sequins Before Noon, Nan enjoys doing improv comedy and writing guitar songs. She is currently working on a Nan + the One Nite Stands EP (with her producer/collaborator Chase Horseman) which is slated for release in Spring of 2026. She is thrilled to work with this talented cast and crew in bringing Sequins to life!
Rita Hanch (Tonya Harding)
Rita Hanch is delighted to be joining this incredible cast as Tonya Harding! Just like Tonya in the 90s, she is a busy woman! She fills her time as an improviser at The Bird Comedy Theater, member of the local band Rude Cousin, and a marketer for KC's favorite theme park! Also, if you see her rolling down the streets in skates...YUP YOU DID! She wants to thank Nan for inviting her to be a part of this once-in-a-lifetime adventure and can't wait to collaborate more with her fav riot grrrl + role model. She would also like to shout out her housemates Reuben, Anna, Wonton, Louise, and Blue. She deeply appreciates those guys <3
Kacy Barta (Oksana Baiul)
Kacy is an actress, improviser, writer, and a co-creater of the local sketch group, Truck Noises. Kacy got her BFA at UCM and is so proud to portray Oksana Baiul! Although Oksana doesn't have a mom, Kacy does. "I'd like to dedicate this performance to my mom who taught me all about Tonya and Nancy’s story.” Kacy is so happy to have spent this time with this dynamite cast. “I’m so freaking thankful!”
Annie Lemmon (MG - Oksana Baiul's dead "Mother Ghost")
Annie Lemmon has a BFA in Theatre and Communications from Emporia State University where she was a founding member of the Pantomime and Non-traditional Theatre Society (PANTS). PANTS has since expanded to include a reimagining of Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind’s 30 Plays in 60 Minutes or Less in Lawrence, Wichita, and KC. Annie was a part of several productions at the Metropolitan Ensemble Theatre before ultimately finding her passion in social work. Annie is now a licensed clinical social worker working with geriatric veterans and loving every minute of it .
Danielle Anderson (Lavona Golden, Verne Lundquist)
Danielle Anderson (she/her) is a singer/songwriter, recording artist, and comedic performer who works under the stage name, Danielle Ate the Sandwich. A self taught performer and musician, Danielle has been growing her professional music and arts career since 2009. Danielle’s one woman show, The Greatest Garage Sale Ever, featuring original songs and characters won “Best Of Venue” at KC Fringe 2024 and showed at Denver Fringe in 2025. Danielle released her 8th album, Fumbling in 2025 which won The Pitch KC's award for Best Song By a Local Band. Danielle is currently working on a new stage show about grandmas, and teaching about the power of songwriting through workshops, social practice, and her virtual course “Life As a Songwriter." Her songs and performances are a shared experience, celebrating grief, humor and happiness. Danielle has collaborated with Nan Turner for several comedy, improv, and music shows, and is honored to be part of the stellar cast and witness the hard work, vision and magic that has brought Sequins Before Noon to life!
Irene Manning (Linda Carroll, Jan Hoffmann)
Irene Manning is an actor, improviser, singer, and (thanks to Nan) a dancer. She has performed in several Fringe shows and community theater plays, but Sequins Before Noon is her first musical! She teaches improv and regularly performs comedy at the Bird Comedy Theater in the Crossroads. Irene is a mom to a 4-year-old, Lucy, and a daughter to a 68-year-old, Mimi (who is a way better mother than the moms depicted in this play. Love you, Mom!) Check out the annual comedic variety show “Mommy Issues” which she puts on with her artistic friends. It takes place the night before Mother’s Day, and explores many of the same themes as “Sequins Before Noon”.
Amanda Matteuci (Brenda)
Amanda Matteucci has been doing improv comedy and acting for 12 years and performs regularly at The Bird Comedy Theater. She started at The Bird three years ago on The Bird Comedy Theater Players. Since then, she has expanded into musical improv with Tweety Todd, and she also performs sketch and improv with Truck Noises. Amanda has been coaching Baggage Claim for over a year — a team that performs an interview-based format called A Day in the Life.
She also produces and performs in Hump Day, a monthly workplace comedy show at The Bird. Amanda would like to thank Nan for the opportunity to perform with such a talented group of artists. She would also like to thank the owners of The Bird for providing a space full of connection, community, and laughter.
Geneva Copeland (Billy Corgan, Stanley Tucci)
Geneva Copeland is a multi-instrumentalist, actor, and comedian thrilled to bring a duo of delightfully unexpected roles to life. Although a classically trained vocalist with a bachelor’s degree in vocal performance, she has a background in strings music as a cellist and is currently studying jazz violin. Geneva co-writes and performs original comedy with her husband and comedy partner Jake, and is currently developing a horror-comedy play of her very own that remains mysteriously untitled… for now. This performance is a joyful blend of all her creative passions, and she’s grateful to be part of this wild production. Endless thanks to Nan Turner for the brilliant vision, inspiration, and opportunity to play in such a unique and hilarious world.
Paige Lockhart (Evy, Psychic, Announcer)
Paige Lockhart holds an MFA in creative writing from the University of Tennessee, and her poems and short stories have appeared in Bayou Magazine, Weave Magazine, Defenestration, Bear Review, scaffold (forthcoming), and elsewhere. Her background in creating narratives with precision and attention to voice shapes everything she does, including performing!
For her day job, she consults with brands at a leading global creative agency, a role that sadly does not require a wardrobe of pant suits like she anticipated. Off the clock, she streams ASMR on TikTok and performs regularly as a member of Truck Noises and in the Kansas City comedy scene. Each year, Paige hosts Improv Prom at the Bird Comedy Theater, spending the entire night in character as Coach Thompson, a role that inspired Nan to cast her as Evy (Nancy's coach) in Sequins Before Noon. She feels honored to bring out the ole' coach's whistle for such a spectacular production.
Kathleen Flaccomio (Courtney Love, dancer, “DL”)
Kathleen Flaccomio is a professional ballet dancer, arts educator, choreographer, musician, and actor—proudly wearing many hats! A native Long Islander, Kathleen moved to Kansas City in August 2023 to join Störling Dance Theater. She spends her days living her dream dancing professionally, and her evenings choreographing for and educating the next generation of artists as a faculty member for the Schools of Dance and Theater at Culture House School for the Arts. While pointe shoes are her home, Kathleen’s training spans multiple dance genres, and she now finds great fulfillment in exploring improvisational work in collaboration with other movement artists and musicians. (Among other exciting projects, you can find her performing improvised movement scores and solos with her friends Teri Quinn and the Coyotes)! Oh— can’t forget that she’s also a classically trained mezzo-soprano, and after several years, is thrilled to be performing in a musical again! Thank you to Nan for the opportunity to be part of this wonderful escapade, and to Courtney Love for reminding me that being loud isn’t something to be ashamed of. Most of all, my deepest gratitude is to Laura, Erin, and Steve; as our show explores complex family dynamics, I’ve grown increasingly thankful for the beautiful family you’ve chosen to gift me with, and I am the luckiest to cheer and be cheered for by you. (Seriously! Thanks for not yelling “booooo!”)
Courtney Honors (Dancer, Police Person)
“Let’s talk about who I am…” Courtney is a writer and performer who loves wigs and grunge music. She embellished many skills on her resume to land this gig such as skating, singing, dancing, and memorization. In reality she mostly does Improv at The Bird Comedy Theater with the group Baggage Claim. Courtney has had a blast working with this hilarious cast!!
Bella Cordero (Dancer, Police Person)
Bella Cordero has a BFA in FIlmmaking and Sound and is an interdisciplinary artist specializing in performance and live audiovisual production. As a freelance production assistant, her practice incorporates set dressing, production coordination, and documentation. She wants to thank her Mama and Papa for giving her a background in dance and music, and her little sister for dancing and making music alongside! Assisting in the production of Nan’s vision has been the most fun project to be a part of! This cast and crew have all filled in for each other, and so many new friendships were formed thanks to Nan!
Tracy Flowers (dancer)
Tracy has been performing and wearing sequins in the local dance group, Nan and the One Night Stands, for many years. She also sings with the Kansas City power-pop band Deco Auto. As a child she studied at the Miller School of Dance in her hometown of Pittsburgh, PA. She is very excited to be a part of the full production of Sequins Before Noon. Tracy appreciates the talented folks that are making this dream a reality and for Nan for coming up with another wild idea. When she isn't performing, you can find Tracy gardening, farming and generally being outdoors.
