Rick Blasi (Sal, piano player) is pleased to be part of the cast of Victor/Victoria. After a career in global financial services, Rick returned to the stage and continued to enjoy ensemble storytelling, live performance and music production.

He and his wife Sarah write and produce original music that has reached audiences in 115 countries.

His most recent theatre experience was especially meaningful, appearing as Sir Danvers Carew in Jekyll & Hyde at Players by the Sea alongside his daughter, Julia Blasi, who played Emma Carew—the daughter of his character. That shared experience remains a highlight of his return to the stage.

Rick is delighted to now step into the role of Sal and continue his journey in live theatre.

A lifelong lover of the performing arts, Julia has enjoyed bringing a variety of characters to life on stage.

Julia would like to thank Julie and Lee for welcoming her into this exciting new project. She would also like to thank her wonderful husband, Matt, and her friends for their love and support.

Joshua is incredibly thankful for the gift of theater. It gave him the courage to show everyone that in preschool, you truly can’t catch the gingerbread man. Later, it brought barbershop harmonies into his life in high school and helped him find his voice. Theater also carried him to Nashville, TN for college, where he learned and grew into what he was capable of.

Through it all, theater allowed Joshua to travel the world, singing for his supper and meeting people along the way. It then led him to Jacksonville, where he met Lee Hamby and found a community he’ll always treasure.

Joshua is also thankful for this amazing cast who shares their gifts of theater with the Jacksonville community. 

But most of all, he’s thankful that theater brought him to his wife, Michelle—who gave him the best gift in the world: his daughters, Taylor and Madison. Shine your light, Bond girls!

P.S. Attention casting directors. There is more than one Josh in Jacksonville you can cast in a musical. Give Josh Waller a moment to rest.

Jonathan is absolutely thrilled (and mildly surprised) to be coming out of retirement for the first-ever show in this incredible new theatre, alongside some of Jacksonville’s finest talents. Apparently retirement just meant “taking a brief intermission.” Recently, you may have spotted him causing theatrical mischief at Hardwicks in several cabarets with Art Collective Theatre, jingling all the way through ACT’s JOY, and spinning himself dizzy in Broadway Bash. Other adventures on stage include Waitress (Cal), Xanadu (Terpsichore), Avenue Q (Princeton), Evil Dead (Tree #1 — yes, a tree, and he took it very seriously), Grease (Teen Angel/Eugene), I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, Hairspray, La Cage, Man of La Mancha, Merrily We Roll Along, and The Boy from Oz. He also performs at St. John’s Cathedral and has spent years embracing his inner musical unicorn as a countertenor in the classical world. When not under stage lights, Jonathan is the proud owner and operator of the award-winning Vanity Furs Pet Salon and Hotel, serving the Jacksonville community for 17 years. So if he seems unusually comfortable with chaos, glitter, dramatic personalities, and unconditional love… theatre and pet grooming are basically the same job. Huge shoutout to Julie and Jeremiah for creating a home for all of us delightfully weird theatre kids. And to Carole Clifford: thank you for believing in me even when I occasionally forgot how to believe in myself. 

Billy Lister (Squash) is ecstatic to be a part of the inaugural show of the Arts Collective Theatre! This is his first show back in Jacksonville in 5 years!  He is a graduate of FSUs Theatre Program, and has performed in numerous shows in Tallahasee in recent history. He thanks his family, friends, Lee, and his cast mates, for supporting him and making this process something he will be talking about for years to come. Enjoy the show!
