Performers in this incarnation included Major Attaway (Aladdin), Annie Golden (Netflix's 'Orange Is The New Black,' Broadway Bounty Hunter), Andrew Kober (School Of Rock, Hair), Fergie L. Philippe (Hamilton), Shereen Pimentel (West Side Story), Nic Rouleau (The Book of Mormon, Hello, Dolly!) and Stephanie Torns (Waitress, Wicked).
