Pandora Beatrix
Duke Solinus
Pandora Beatrix has been a professional voice actor since 2021 (“The Modus Files”, “Frontier: Tales from Starfield”, “The Insane God”), though she’s become deeply addicted to theater - despite how it makes both her calendar and bank account weep openly. Dora has recently been seen in “Bleeding Hearts Cabaret: A Villain’s Tale” at Playcrafters and “Cheeky Chekhov” at 1st Street Players. She’s excited to be making her RCP debut with some Shakespearean zaniness!

She's enjoying the positive reactions when she tells people she's in a Shakespeare play. They think it’s really cool and want to know more about it. "I think it’s nice to be Shakespeare-curious."
Julius Piotti
First Merchant, Second Merchant
Julius Piotti is pumped to join this cast as both First and Second Merchant, two very different roles. While he took an acting class in college, this is his first time on stage! Thanks to that professor, he had a spark ignited and he’s grateful for the opportunity to fan that flame!

Steve recently directed Arsenic and Old Lace (Fleetwood Community Theatre) and is looking forward to directing “Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors" with RCP, which makes QUITE a double bill with tonight’s show.
