Cast & Crew

Our cast (the PT Mystery Players) is a group of amateur actors who donate all their time and talent to the cause, and we are deeply grateful for them. We promise you an evening of fun, laughter, and fine dining!

Jan Boutilier	If you or your child attended Port Townsend High School, you probably know Jan. She has been an important part of the Mystery Dinner since its inception and has been in the show every year. She performed many years with the O’Meara Dance Studio and was a regular in the 10-year run of PT’s Fantabulous Follies. She left the school district in 2021 after 35 years and now enjoys more time with hubby Chet and can be seen every day – rain or shine – out walking miles with her dogs, Cappy and Olivia. She is a 30-year member of the Booster Sisters, promoting Fun, Frivolity and Laughter, a Kiwanian, a PTHS Alumni Association board member, and volunteers for the non-profit YEA Music. Jan claims she used to be shy, but we don’t believe her. She is happy to put on a show this year and is thankful that Ramon is still a creative genius and writing us scripts!

David Crozier	David has been a member of the PT Mystery Players since its inception. He was the catalyst to bring the shows under Kiwanis. Currently he is the Governor of the Pacific Northwest District of Kiwanis and that, along with his full-time job, are keeping him pretty busy. Even though he gets typecast as a crazy Irishman frequently, he jumps into the role, because basically, he is one.
Mary Crozier	Mary has been having fun performing in the annual Dinner & a Murder show since it’s inception in 2006. She was also a proud member of the O’Meara Dance Studio “Fantabulous Follies” and appeared in those shows from 2006 – 2015. She doesn’t consider herself a “professional”, but she really enjoys performing. Other opportunities for her to “perform”: “First Lady” of the Kiwanis PNW District, President of the PTHS Alumni Association, Rhody Board Vice President, and a Fun, Frivolous & Laughing member of The Booster Sisters. “Happiest of Holidays to you all!”
Mike Crozier	The man, the myth, the legend.
Ramon Dailey	(Author & Director)Ramon has been writing and directing our murder mysteries since 2006. He’s the main reason we “act” this way. And he’s brilliant. No. Really. He directed us to say that.
Megan DeVries	She’s kind of a “big deal”. Can also be found performing burlesque as Goldi Luxe, where she’s eager to turn fairy tales into reality. And yes, that’s my brother.
Jim Guthrie	Jim has appeared in most of our productions. He also designs and builds the sets for the shows. Jim has experience acting and building for various community theater groups. He considers this acting company to be “Amazing! I laughed. I cried. smh jk”. Note the gratuitous use of hipster abbreviations. lol
Jennifer Mead	She is a starving artist with a big heart. She is wild, wacky, and weird. A true go getter in equality of human rights and won’t back down. This is her second year with the PT Mystery Players and already the lead!
Ben Shafer	Ben has lived in Port Townsend for two years. They are involved with several local theater companies including Key City Public Theatre and Saltfire Theatre. From a young age they have dreamed of shedding their wooden marionette shell and becoming a real boy, so an opportunity to act in this production of Murder in the Magical Kingdom in the role of Puppetio, (Any resemblance to other characters or persons is purely coincidental), is incredibly exciting.
