There were many new and exciting actors to work with this year. These proved themselves early in handling both comedic and dramatic roles in Jackson, setting the bar for The Nerd this spring and for next year's Hamlet.

The spring play
"The Nerd"
by Larry Shue
The Star Players offered a second production of Larry Shue's hilarious The Nerd. Here is Willum (Joey Cavin), Tansy (Megan Zimmerman, NSP Best Actress 2004), Rick (Tony Penaloza, NSP Best Actor 2004), and Axel (Cabe Culbertson) watching the apple core turn brown.
Rick (Tony Penaloza) in costume surprises the Waldgraves (Mallorie Trublood and Justin Heidelberger) and Willum (Joesph Cavin) and Tansy (Meagan Zimmerman).
Rick (Tony) has everyone in paper bags for a not-so-fun night for anyone else but Rick, and the audience.
By night's end, everyone is so done with Rick's antics, he's close to being done in.
Stage crew members check that all props are in place and properly labeled.
Not to be outdone by Rick, Thor (Heather Hewes) has a few antics up Willum's robe-sleeves.
Clelia (Mallorie) and Waldgrave (Justin) deal with obstreperous child, Thor (Heather).
Rick (Tony) shows us his true self, Kemp Hall, as friend and co-conspirator Axel (Cabe) shares a victory toast.
