OUR CAST
John Goss - Artistic/ Managing Director/ Vaudevillian ~ John started his musical/theatrical life with the Albuquerque boy's choir where he quickly became a featured soprano singer representing the U. S. in a European tour in 1976. Having caught the musical bug, he became very involved with the Community Theatre in Albuquerque, having performed in 20 different productions including Bye Bye Birdie where he played the title role.
His first professional job was with the Great American Melodrama in Pismo Beach, CA. where he not only played “Fernand” in The Count of Monte Cristo but had his first Vaudeville experience. John spent the next 12 years bouncing from small resort-type theatres performing in over 100 different plays/musicals with vaudeville type after shows. Having directed and created many of these shows, this is where he learned the art of putting together a fun vaudeville type revue. His more prominent acting roles include; “Dr. Jykle” and “Mr. Hyde”, “The Beast”, In Beauty and the Beast, “Dr. Frankenstein”, “Will”, in Oklahoma, “The Dentist”, in Little Shop of Horrors, “Matt”, in Fantastick’s and “Raoul”, in The Phantom. He later found himself at Boulder’s Dinner Theatre going to and from there, to working in Denali, Alaska and performing on cruise ships. The Crystal Palace brought John to the Roaring Fork Valley where he met some of the most talented people in the state and decided to finally plant himself in this beautiful setting where he has directed or performed in virtually every theatrical venue around. He has choreographed many shows for Aspen Community Theatre where he directed and choreographed "The Music Man" in 2009. John has had the dream of opening a small vaudeville theatre for over twenty years and it has finally come to fruition. With a wonderful building, in a beautiful location and an incredibly talented cast he hopes this will eventually become an icon and focal point for the people of the Roaring Fork Valley.

Proud papa, indeed!!” that that’s pretty much all I need changed unless you want to change 17 years at the Crystal Palace to — over 15 years. 15 1/2 if you want to get technical. Thanks darlin’.
Teagan Brown - Vaudevillian ~ Teagan is a magician specializing in family entertainment. As a child he was inspired by the magic career of his great grandfather Howard Thurston, which makes him the fourth generation without a real job.

After pursing magic in NYC and earning his B.A. in Political Science, he is putting his degree hard at work as a bartender when he isn’t doing magic shows.

Vid Weatherwax - Vaudevillian ~ Vid was a middle child, and suffers from that syndrome. Overcoming that hurdle he amassed a broad background in music and began playing professionally as a 16 year old, criss crossing the industrial belt of Michigan, strongly influenced by the Detroit Rock, Motown, and Chicago blues scenes.Although self-taught, he has had many notable mentors along the way. Most of his training comes from years on the road.
He is an avid swimmer, skier and river rat. He skies a lot, but is real train wreck on the slopes. He is famous for quotes like: “My butt hurts”. “Are you going to eat all those fries?”. and, ”I don’t know anything” But his most heartfelt quote is: “I love performing at the Glenwood Vaudeville Revue, an outstanding theater with amazing performers, and a very creative, enthusiastic director. I’m proud to be a member of such a great ensemble , and happy to call myself a citizen of Glenwood Springs”. 
Perpetua Wojcinski - Vaudevillian ~ Perpetua hails from Buffalo, NY. From her first onstage experience in kindergarten as a giraffe, she has been compelled to perform.

At age 14, she played a young adult (the only child in the cast) in a performance that won an award at the TANYS festival. After studying Music (Voice Performance) and Theatre at SUNY Fredonia in the early ‘90’s, she made her to Colorado. She has experience in all aspects of arts and performing; from karaoke host to face painter and balloon artist, comedy improv theater, ethnic dance, costume and set design, lighting and sound, co-directing a children’s theater camp, choreographer, music and sound recording artist, voice over actor, acting in film and onstage, radio dj and much more. She has a goofy sense of humor, and absolutely adores performing at the Vaudeville!
Rio - Dogvillian ~ Rio is thrilled to be part of this show this season. As a young mom living on the streets of Livingston, TX with her 13 puppies, some wonderful folks realized she was bound for bigger and better things and helped her make her way to Glenwood Springs in the spring of 2021. When her foster mom brought her by to meet John, it was love at first sight! She is so happy to be able to come to work with John and learn the tricks of the trade from all the wonderful actors here at the Vaudeville. Rio’s favorite past times are watching John fly fish for hours by the side of the river, time up in the high country and visiting her foster mom and playing with Adeline and Cody. Rio hopes you’ll enjoy the show and remember when looking for a new pet “Adopt, Don’t Shop”. All pets deserve a chance to be stars!
