Rex has always had an active imagination and loved "make -believe" and pretending to be different characters as a child. He and his best friend would put on shows for their families from time to time.
As a freshman in high school, Rex appeared in a junior college production of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM. As a junior, he appeared in OUR TOWN. As Rex went on to college and pursued a career in education and working with disadvantaged and troubled youth, his acting career was put on hold for several years. He was able to assist with a couple of school plays as assistant director/acting coach and has participated in haunted houses over the years. Rex also enjoys cosplaying with his daughter at various comic-cons and anime-cons.
Rex has really enjoyed working with the River City Players in: A BAD YEAR FOR TOMATOES; LOVE, LIES, AND THE DOCTOR'S DILEMMA; THE FOX ON THE FAIRWAY; THE ODD COUPLE (female version); ACADEMIA NUTS; THE PEN IS DEADLIER; PLAZA SUITE; MURDER ON THE MENU; and now SHOP TIL YOU DROP DEAD.
Rex would like to thank everyone involved in this production and his amazing wife and daughter for their love and support.

Shop ‘Til You Drop – Dead! marks Angelina’s second performance with River City Players Lexington! You may have seen her debut performance in RCPL’s 2024 spring musical playing the role of the heroine, Rainbow Heatherton, in Showdown at the Rainbow Ranch. If you missed it, this time you can catch her taking on the role of Joy Caverweski, a giggly yet fashionable (if you’re into 1950’s glam) contestant who’s thrilled to participate in the game show “Stop, Shop, and Bankroll”!
Angelina would like to extend her sincere gratitude to her family and friends for all their support; she is devoted to keeping them on their toes!
These days, most of Angelina’s free time consists of training and exercising her very energetic and stubborn blue heeler puppy, Frankie. When she is not doing that, she is usually working on home improvement projects or thinking about her next vacation destination.
Enjoy the show, it’s sure to be the latest rage!
