Michael TuckerCharles “Chuck” Maddox
Michael, 34, is originally from Kinston, NC. He spends his days working in Greenville for East Carolina University. Michael got his first taste of acting playing cucumber #2 in a school play in elementary school. The grueling experience was so traumatizing that he gave up the stage for many years. It wasn’t until 2007 when he discovered the magic of comedic improv that he decided to give acting another shot. “Enemies” is his first dramatic role, well, if you don’t include that cucumber thing.
Heather BrownEmily Bombay
Heather is thrilled to be a part of the world premiere of Enemies. After performing on stages up and down the east coast and abroad in Europe, she is pleasantly surprised to call Greenville home. She most recently appeared in the MAC’s Five Course Theatre production as Harriet in Overtones. Though Heather enjoys the challenge of portraying an emotionally vulnerable woman her favorite roles have been women of strength such as Natella Abashwili (The Caucasian Chalk Circle), Hedda Gabbler (Hedda Gabbler), Lillith (Dispelling the Myths) and Grace Clements, Mill Worker in the International Tour of Working the Musical. Through her research to portray Emily, she has been moved by the men and women behind the badge who put themselves in harms way for our security, and captivated by their families who sacrifice so much, we are indebted to you. She would like to thank Joe for sharing his brilliant script, Jay for his patience, Jane for her belief in us, Javier for sharing his craft and the entire cast for their realism. Heather owes her success/sanity to her adoring husband, hilarious children, patient coworkers (One Source shout out!), and captivating friends (Yea, inner self)! Brace yourself and enjoy the show!
