Rick Mead

No stranger to the character of Scrooge (having played it last year as well), Rick Mead gladly came back for round two.  Castmates are amazed at the gruff character he's able to play since, in rehearsal, his lines often end in somethink akin to giggles. 

Irregardless of his work conflicts (that little joke was just for you, Rick), Rick has made the Dickens Festival a priority in his life and is an example of hard work and preparation.  I always look forward to nights when Rick is on the schedule.
