| Timothy E. Shifflet (Wayne Wellacre) teaches Spanish, English, and Film as Literature at Belleville West High School, and has served as assistant director alongside director Z. Ranger Rogers for Belleville East High School’ s past three spring musicals. This year marked his return to the stage after 12 years; he had performed in several plays in high school. He is very excited to be participating in his second endeavor with The Brass Rail Players, after taking on several roles in this summer’s production of The Wedding Singer where he played, among other things, a drunken, belligerent best man and a Pee-wee Herman impersonator . In Inspecting Carol, he embraces the challenge of playing an extremely bad actor , and he has had a lot of fun shaping his character and collaborating with his fellow cast members. He has enjoyed working with such a talented group of people, both onstage and off, and would like to thank everyone involved for making this such an enjoyable experience. He would also like to thank his wife Jennifer for all of her love and support. |

Timothy E. Shifflet (FakePee-wee, Ensemble) has been acting in front of audiences since he was a toddler, when he recited commercials he had memorized from television for family and friends. He played Santa Claus in a pre-school play at age 4, and ever since, he’s had the acting bug. He was an active Thespian and speech team member throughout high school in Mt. Vernon, Illinois, serving as an actor for several plays and as a student director for one. Among his favorite roles he’s played are the title roles in Aladdin and The Reluctant Dragon, "Uncle" Max Detweiller in The Sound of Music, and Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof. He has worked as assistant director of Belleville East’s past 3 spring musicals, Children of Eden, Ragtime, and Thoroughly Modern Millie. The Wedding Singer marks his return to acting onstage after 12 years. He feels that playing several roles in this play is a good way to make up for lost time.
