THE MANUFACTURERS

ANDREW BAYER -- Krogstad_.jpeg

Andrew Bayer as Mr. Nils Krogstad

Andrew is excited to be making his ERA debut as Krogstad in Dollhouse by Three
Manufacturers. He graduated from the Professional Training Program (PTP 2015)
at Dell’Arte International in Blue Lake, CA where he studied physical theatre,
ensemble-based devised work, and performed with the Dell’Arte Company in the
Red Light Cabaret. By day, Andrew works as a letter carrier at the United States
Postal Service. He lives in Dutchtown with his wife, Laura, and three cats, Dark
Wing, Forest and Moon.

FRANKIE.jpeg

Frankie Ferrari as Mr. Torvald Helmer

Frankie Ferrari (she/they) is a St. Louis–based actor and theater-maker who thrives
in the weird, the wild, and the wondrous. Favorite past adventures include the
wonderful fever dream of Wolf Kings with YoungLiars, The American Revolution
With Theater Unspeakable (a physically daring, small-space storytelling ensemble),
and the delightfully absurd AMERICAN STAGE SESSIONS – HISTORY OF WORLD
DRAMA PART 2,666 (Glass Elevator). Most recently, they appeared in Scream,
Echo. Scream by Summer Baer—a piece that was especially meaningful to be part
of. Trained at SIUe in performance studies, Frankie has dabbled in clown, devised,
and experimental work. They approach performance as a space for curiosity,
connection, and courageous play.

HAILEY MEDRANO -- Kristine_.jpeg
