 Garret performed in five shows while attending college; four at their alma mater, Transylvania University, as Bob in Lloyd’s Prayer, Cliton in The Liar, Jimmy in Almost, Maine, and Shylock in Rough Magic. They even helped lead the campus improvisational troupe, Impromp TU, but had taken a break from acting until now—five years later.  Today, they can be found singing their little heart out at karaokes around the city, throwing their hair to live music, and sipping wine on beautiful patios. 

 Joseph is thrilled to be a part of this marvelous production. This marks his return to the theatre stage after a 7-year hiatus.  Previous shows include Hairspray (Edna), Little Shop of Horrors (Seymour), La Cage aux Folles (Albin), You’re a good man Charlie Brown (CB), among many others. Over the past decade, he has become known best in Kentucky/Tennessee as #SofawndaPeters-Cumming. #Sofawnda (@hashtagsilent on IG) has performed all over the country, including the Half-Woman Show at Club Cumming in NYC. She is also the current reigning Miss Firecracker 2019. “He may have left the theatre, but the theatre never left her” Joseph would like to dedicate these performances to Ned Frazier, Kathryn Dickey, and Louann Noel.

Originally from Kosciusko, MS, Antwuan moved to Lexington in 2000 and has been singing across the Bluegrass ever since.
