Originally from Goose Creek, Brett is an Air Force veteran, College of Charleston graduate and current graduate student at The Citadel studying clinical counseling.
Anthony Parenti (Eraste) - recently moved to Charleston to pursue a film education at Trident Tech. He has made many short films and has starred, written, produced, and directed many of them. He has acted in a couple of shows around the Charleston area including Crimes of the Heart and Vincent John Doe and has enjoyed all of it. He’s excited for this opportunity to work on The Heir Apparent!

A few local theater credits include Oklahoma, South Pacific and The Importance of Being Earnest, (The Footlight Players); Shakers and The Crucible (The Flowertown Players); Noises Off ! and A Christmas Carol (Charleston Stage) and Souvenir and I’ll Eat You Last (Village Rep). When not prancing around onstage, Susie is Director of Graduate Admissions for the College of Charleston. She adores her husband David and blesses him for his constant support in her mad pursuit of acting.
Bill Terranova (Geronte) - or Terry, as his friends know him, has been in numerous productions throughout the Charleston area over the past two decades. Once again, he is both pleased and honored to be working with such warm, funny and talented people.
Taryn Hoyt (Isabelle) - is proud to be part of this incredible production! She spends much of her time directing and stage managing, but is excited to get to spend some time on stage. Previous credits include Hairspray, Shrek the Musical, Red, The Tempest, Singin’ in The Rain, Guys and Dolls, Measure for Measure, Beauty and The Beast, and the 2017 Tony Awards. Thank you to the cast and crew for making this a wonderful experience.
Linda Esposito (Scruple) - is a transplant from a lifetime in Saudi Arabia where she served as Executive Producer, President, and lead actress of an international theatre group for 20 years. Since her now decade-long relocation to the low country, she has been seen in numerous theatrical productions around town; most recently as Joanne in Company with Midtown Productions, and Sister Aloysius in Doubt with 5th Wall Productions. Time for a French farce and some much needed laughter!
