Hawkins (Cesar), Roy Leake, Jr. (Panisse), Marsha Kramer (Honorine), David Holmes (The Admiral), Chuck Bergman (M. Brun) and William Martinez (Escartifique). Completing the cast are Christopher Carothers, Robin DeLano, Damon Kirsche, Jen Malenke, Shauna Markey, Brandon Michael Perkins and Mark Reis. FANNY will be directed by Larry Raben with musical direction by Daniel Thomas and choreography by Cheryl Baxter. Teri Bibb serves as production coordinator.
