Christina Bontempo Kamer

Christina is a 2004 graduate of Fitchburg State University with a degree in English and a concentration in performance. She served as President of the student-run theatre, The Falcon Players, and performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Christina was twice nominated for the Irene Ryan Scholarship and won Best Scene Partner in 2003. After assisting with several productions post-college, she took a 20-year hiatus from theater, during which she taught special education and became a licensed massage therapist. The pandemic reignited her passion for theater, leading her to community theaters in the North Shore area. Christina has since been heavily involved with Neverland Theatre and Drastically Incorrect, with recent roles including Mrs. Banks in "Father of the Bride" (North Shore Players), Beth Bradley in "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever", and Velma Kelly in "Chicago the Non-Musical".

Martin Fucio

Marty's earlier roles for NSP included Dwight Babcock in "Mame," Erronius in "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," Evelyn Oakley in "Anything Goes," Major Metcalf in "The Mousetrap," and Rev. Crisparkle in "The Mystery of Edwin Drood." Marty is a long time member of the NSP and serves on the NSP Board of Directors.

James DeSantis

James is now directing NSP's upcoming production "Father of the Bride." James was Judge Danforth in the recent production of "The Crucible." James has been in several NSP productions going back to 1990! James has a number of decades of experience in theater and in directing.

Back in 2014, NSP Actor & Board Member Martin Fucio, was interviewed for a publicity spot by WBZ Radio's Jordan Rich for a very special Christmas prodution!

Carolyn Junker

Carolyn holds an MFA in Fine Arts and has been a long time member of the NSP. Carolyn serves as the NSP Vice President currently. In the Fall of 2023, Carolyn directed the NSP production of "The Crucible." Carolyn is an experienced actor and has appeared in numerous NSP productions!

Jacob Driscoll

Jacob made his debut on the NSP stage playing the role of John Proctor in the NSP production of "The Crucible" in 2023. Jacob is an experienced actor and recently played Piers Gaveston in "Edward II." Jacob's past projects include "Chicago," "Dracula," and "Lysistrata."

Scott Shepherd and Marty Fucio talk shop way back in 2012!

Dan Sulzinsky

Dan joins the North Shore Players for the very first time. It's always great to get new members but Dan is exceptional. Dan recently held a lead role as Mr. Banks in "Father of the Bride" produced by the NSP. The thing that makes Dan exceptional is that he has never acted before in his life!

Victor Brandalise

Victor is also a new member of the North Shore Players and we sure hope that he sticks around for a good long time! Victor recently held the role of Joe in the NSP production of "Father of the Bride." AND he let us in on a little secret - Victor also performed the role of Joe when he lived in the Dallas, TX area over 29 years ago!

A look back to 2012! Marc Santorella talks about the 2012 NSP production of "The Bard is Back."

The North Shore Players has a lot of talented and exceptional members. Stay tuned for more "Spotlights" on NSP members and what they do on and off stage!
