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.

Frankie Westhoff - Vaudevillian ~ Frankie Westhoff has been making a fool of themselves recreationally and professionally for the last ten years, returning to their humble roots in the Valley after a decade in Kansas City, Missouri, where they set up base after completing their BFA in Music Theatre at Stephens College. While in KC, they performed with the KCRep, the Lyric Opera of Kansas City, Living Room Theatre, and Fish Tank Theatre, having featured roles in new works such as Chainsaw: the Musical (2015), and old (sometimes very old) works like The Wedding of Figaro (1786).
Recreationally, they do at home theatre in the form of Dungeons and Dragons, as a Game Master, pretending to be entire casts of characters by themselves for their friends. Anywhere else they might lock you up for that! When not at the Vaudeville, Frankie works at Gypsum Creek Middle School where they work on the Special Education team. 
Julia Whalen- Vaudevillian ~ Julia is excited to start her first season with the Glenwood Vaudeville Review. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Performance from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse and has performed locally with Thunder River Theatre Company, Sopris Theatre Company and Aspen Community Theatre over the past three years since moving to the Valley. Julia hopes you enjoy the show!
Michael Scarpitti - Vaudevillian ~ Michael is in his second season performing with the Glenwood Vaudeville Revue. A graduate with honors from the United States Marine Corps school of hard knocks, Michael began a career as a mild mannered Telecommunications Professional by day but performing arts aficionado by night. Taking the dance halls, open mics and karaoke lounges by storm, Michael perfected his singing and dancing talents. He has been a country western dance instructor, a KJ show host and a lead singer for a very insignificant pop/rock cover band. Aside from profession and performances, Michael enjoys spending time with friends and family including 4 kids that are slowly ensuring his hair turns grey before he’s 50. Michaels’ motto for life “Blind them with brilliance …. or baffle them with BS!”

Tim Veazey - Vaudevillian ~ Tim has performed for everyone from the late Princess Margaret to Ted Turner and with everyone from Pete Fountain to Dickey Betts of The Allman Brothers.

Tim was also chosen to perform for NFL Commissioner Pete Tagliabue at the Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana in conjunction with Super Bowl XXIV, January 1990. In the past year, he has felt impressed to start a music ministry, which will focus primarily on performing concerts in and for churches around the U.S. He has been playing concerts in churches for the past eight years in addition to his sister-schedule in the secular arena, which includes festivals, various live-entertainment venues.

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!
