The writers also Sniper/Spot Conlon............................................................................................................Trevor Hansen wisely added the character of Katherine, Jo Jo .......................................................................................................................................Kayden Oliver a strong female protagonist, with whom Elmer ....................................................................................................................................Tyler Sorensen young women of today could relate. Buttons .............................................................................................................................. Lukas Poischbeg The stage version offers a powerful Specs ........................................................................................................................................Tom Bentsen statement about modern times.
