Sarah and Ben Nadler will play the roles of the "young boy" and "young girl" in the scenes that depict Mary Shelley's memories of her children. Sarah is a sophomore at Upper St. Clair High School and Ben is a fifth grader at Boyce Middle School.

Sarah has performed in school productions including the role of Marion in Ft. Couch Middle School's "Music Man" and in four productions of Pittsburgh Savoyards, with her most recent role in the production of HMS Pinafore last June. Ben made his debut with Savoyards in the same production. Ben's recent roles included the title role in "Stewart Little" with the South Park Children's Theatre and Little Jake in the CLO's production of "Annie Get Your Gun."

Johanna Nadler believes that this is the first serious adult production for her children.

"It is a wonderful opportunity for them to work with these Pittsburgh professional artists from the director, set designer... the whole team. And since this is a world premiere - to think that they are creating these roles for the first time is very exciting."

Leading the artistic and production team are: director Richard Keitel, music director Nancy Gordon Galluzzo of Mt. Lebanon, producing director David Nash, set designer Tony Ferrieri of Mt. Lebanon, make-up and hair designer Rod Carter, lighting designer Josh Monroe and choreographer Kiesha Lalama-White.
