Russell Roffey
Gene
Russell Roffey (he/him) is a graduate of UOttawa’s Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting program, middle child from Renfrew (shoutout to anyone that knows where this is), writer, actor, amateur baker and alien bug man currently based out of Ottawa. After several performances with UOttawa’s theatre (Five Days in Verona, The Child, Thick, Small Talk), he makes his professional debut as Gene in Lost Baggage’s One Small Misstep, having previously auditioned for the Undercurrents run. Currently uninvolved with any other productions, but is always looking for more places to bring his uplifting sense of humour and good vibes—though very few will be as fun and inviting as this show. Hopes to avoid being typecast as an alien bug for the rest of his career. Special thanks go to teachers Kristina Watt, Daniel Mroz, etc, and his friends and family for their support and guidance.
Sutida (May) Turcot
Bobby
Active in Ottawa community musical theatre since 2022, May was last seen onstage, loud and blond, as ‘Mrs. Wormwood’ in Suzart Production’s Matilda (2024). While she’s never travelled off-planet, and both her parents have two arms each, May, like all of us, is not immune to feeling alien sometimes. The best cure to feeling foreign may be a mix of curiosity, kindness and easy laughter – all attributes we find in our intrepid heroine, Sam. Voted most likely to play with toddlers at any dinner party, May has wholeheartedly enjoyed slipping into Bobby’s skin, and she hopes her joy is contagious.
