| BETTY BERGER--------------------Betty Birch Betty Berger is the hard working fast food chef at Barney’s Burger House. A compulsive liar even when the truth is better, this burger flipper is a known cheater during board games…so beware if you ever play a game against this master of deceit! FIONA COLLINS-----------------Becky Bressie This ill-mannered vixen of the phone lines will ruin a relaxing night at home with her relentless telemarketing sales calls! The neighbors avoid Fiona Collins as she’s the rudest on the block and is known to crash any party she catches wind of. So, this time for the Block Party, she was given a pity invite just to ease the tension! FOGHORN FOWLER------------------Bill Birch Foghorn Fowler is the highly intellectual chicken farmer. A dependable and loyal person, Foghorn is the friend to have. That is…if the major obsessive- compulsive disorder doesn’t bother you. LECTRON WATTS--------------------Dylan McDonald Lectron Watts is the most annoying ‘one upper’ in the neighborhood. If you’ve done, said or tried anything - Lectron is certain to have done it more often, said it already and tried it twice! CHEK NICOLSON-------------------Larry Birch Chek Nicolson is the ultra-eccentric banker. Known to be quite frugal, Chek will drive you nutzo as s/he has to meticulously calculate everything out to the nearest quarter of a cent! LACEY KRINGEL----------------Alissa Birch Lacey Kringel is the moody and insensitive Annual Holiday Block Party host and bridal shop owner. Nobody truly likes to be around Lacey because of her violent mood swings…but her house is just so perfect for entertaining. TATOR SALSBURY------------------Joshua Birch Tator Salsbury is the nosy cafeteria line worker at the neighborhood junior high school.

SAVON BROOKS--------------Nathan Bressie Savon Brooks is the overly sensitive environmentalist and animal rights activist. Savon prefers to sing instead of talk and this can sometimes be quite odd if you’re engaged in a lengthy conversation. NED MORALES----------------Ray Birch This hyperactive motivational speaker for teens, Ned Morales, is one super- paranoid individual! Rumor has it that Ned actually believes the government is spying on him! NORMA NIGHTSHADE---------------Kristen Birch Norma Nightshade is the mysterious yet overly friendly late night horror television hostess. If you look beyond her gothic and somewhat monstrous appearance, she is one of the friendliest and dearest friends you can ever have. ROXY RICH-------------Ashli Birch Roxy Rich is the snooty and very bossy heiress. Her mansion is the only one of its kind in the neighborhood and even in the town, but she still refuses to entertain at her home! The neighbors often wonder what this ritzy diva is hiding. STAN D. UPTON---------------Matthew Birch Stan Upton is the ultra-outgoing and sugary sweet local comedian. Stan performs twice a week at the neighborhood comedy club. If Stan’s around…everyone is laughing. Stan usually doesn’t go anywhere without his best buddies and fellow comics from the club. PELE SOCCO------------Justin Birch Pele Socco is the neighborhood athlete and major league soccer player. He is bluntly honest, so if you don’t want to hear the truth…don’t even speak to him! Pele is also known to over-explain things to the extreme! SANDY SOMMERS-----------------------Paige Conlin Sandy Sommers is the spunky lifeguard at the neighborhood swimming pool.

IMA SURVA-------------Sharon Birch Ima Surva is the nerdy waitress at the National House of Waffles. She is quite the perfectionist so if you get seated in her section…you’ll be more than taken care of! RITA BOOKADAY------------Denise Garcia Rita Bookaday is the antisocial book store clerk. Rita is extremely judgmental of others and this tends to offend her customers at the book store. Rita also has an intense fear of germs so getting too close to her is out of the question! KOMMY SHONE--------------Ron Birch You’d wonder how this crabby, introverted car salesperson ever makes a sale! But Kommy is one of the top sales people at the local car lot! Maybe Kommy just scares people into buying a car? TAKEY TAKERTON------------------Scott Garcia Takey Takerton has been unemployed ever since he inherited his home from his great grandmother years ago. He borrows money for his living experiences and everyone is paranoid when they talk to Takey as he’ll be sure to hit them up for a loan. As ducks fly with ducks, Takey usually has a group of his fellow mooches with him and they all have an irritating habit of impersonating animals. |
| Our Cast of Neighbors I want to thank everyone for really getting into their characters. Ray I am still finding aluminum foil in various places. All I can say guys is I believe several of you have watched Dirty Dancing a few too many times and Nobody puts a Birch in the corner. I hope that you all had as much fun as you appeared to be having. |

| These 2 were running late from work and missed the formal cast pictures! |
| Fionna gave all the neighbors a reason to wish her harm. She discovered secrets and threatened to expose what she knew. She left several men with broken hearts. Nobody loved Fionna as much as Fionna loved herself. |
| When Fionna discovered Chek had been stealing funds from her Grandfathers estate he had to stop her from exposing him. It was a candy cane through the heart |
| After all the clues and evidence was disclosed throughout the evening everyone accused who they thought committed the murder. All the neighbors then one at a time told their story and provided their alibi for the time of the murder. Paige was the only one to accurately pick Chek! This was so much fun and I encourage you all to get together with friends or family and have your own mystery Party! |
