Chad Coe - Best Man / Charles the Wrestler — Philosopher of the Ring, Guardian of the Grapple
Originally cast as Orlando—the starry-eyed lover boy—Chad quickly proved he brings far more than sighs and sweet speeches. With the heart of a poet, the frame of a warrior, and the soul of a philosopher, he was cast instead as Charles the Wrestler: powerful, grounded, and ready to body slam existential doubt.
Though the text gives Charles few lines, in our version he brings a presence that speaks volumes. Chad is a man who thinks deeply, listens well, and challenges those around him to rise higher—not with bravado, but with the quiet, formidable strength of someone who knows who he is. He laughs big, loves big, and yes—he could probably bench press a pine tree if it came to it or at least reach its highest branch.
In the ring or in the rehearsal room, Chad elevates everyone in his orbit. He’s the rare kind of best man who can challenge your ideas, bear your burdens, and still look good doing it in a three-piece suit. Charles may not get the girl, but thanks to Chad, he finally gets his moment.
Brandon Ruiter - Best Man / Feste the Traveling Minstrel — Fool of Fortune, Bard of the Backpack
Originally cast to pine as Orsino, crooning "If music be the food of love," Brandon—our charming, wandering romantic—was swiftly (and rightly) recast as Feste, a fool with the sharpest tongue and the wisest heart. A troubadour of talent, a connoisseur of chaos, and the best man with the best timing (comic and otherwise), Brandon is equal parts jester, philosopher, and human jazz solo.
He builds his home wherever there’s laughter, art, and community—a modern minstrel with a well-worn suitcase and a tiny house that literally moves. One moment he’s belting ballads or breaking into a jig, the next he’s making the world’s most realistic fart noise to punctuate the world’s most sophomoric joke.
Brandon lives between the lines of song and sense, of mischief and meaning. His foolery? Flawless. His friendship? Unshakable. And his presence here? The kind of gift only a true Feste could bring—unexpected, unforgettable, and absolutely essential.
Sam Mirto - King Oberon of the Woodland Realm, Lord of Lattes and Lavish Hospitality
Playing Oberon, the Fairy King, Sam Mirto reigns with a calm hand, a generous heart, and an eye for details so sharp they make spreadsheets weep. With the serene poise of a woodland monarch and the party instincts of a midsummer bonfire, Sam brings enchantment wherever he goes—usually with a charcuterie board in one hand and a small-batch coffee in the other.
As Vice President of a leading coffee company, Sam oversees operations with quiet precision, making sure every bean, budget, and big idea is in place. But don’t let the title fool you—this king is just as likely to be found geeking out over fermentation notes in an Ethiopian roast or crafting the perfect whiskey pairing for a late-night feast.
Even-tempered, endlessly kind, and always down for a laugh (or a well-aged pour), Sam is the kind of Oberon you’d gladly follow into the woods—especially if there’s whiskey at the end.
Nathan Sprik - Macbeth, Thane of Birmingham — Strategist of the Spreadsheet, Happy Hour Hero
A man of analytical might, Nathan can unravel a spreadsheet, a Shakespearean subplot, or a toddler tantrum with equal ease. Loyal to his kin, shrewd in his counsel, and ever three steps ahead of your argument, he is the kind of brother who’d storm Dunsinane itself just to adjust your boutonniere. Though he plays Macbeth, fear not: no regicide today.
Offstage, he is a devoted father to two small co-stars, whom he directs with a firm hand and a soft heart. His parenting is part Machiavelli, part Mr. Rogers. Beware his wisdom; trust his judgment; and be ready for him to take you to a local dive bar for the best happy hour in town.
Though he plays Macbeth, fear not: no regicide today.
Isaac Sprik - Our Mercutio: Master of Wit, Campfires, and Product Roadmaps
Cast as Mercutio for reasons that will become painfully obvious within ten seconds of conversation, Isaac Sprik brings boundless energy, dazzling verbosity, and just the right amount of chaos to the Shakespearean proceedings. A man of a thousand words (per minute), he can riff, ramble, and reason his way through any meeting, wedding toast, or wilderness hike.
Though gregarious by nature and powered by an internal espresso machine as he works all day without breaking for food, Isaac is grounded by a heart full of fierce devotion—to his brilliant wife Maria, his adventurous son Ruben, and a soon-to-arrive baby who’s will likely be a brilliant conversations of brains, good looks, and positive spirit.
By day, he leads in product management, where he builds plans, aligns stakeholders, and says things like “Let’s circle back on that” without a trace of irony. By weekend, he roams the wilds, trading Wi-Fi for waterfalls and roadmaps for riverbanks.
Mercutio may be Shakespeare’s wild card, but this Mercutio is all-in on loyalty, love, and long hikes with a young boy strapped to his back. Just don’t get him started unless you’ve got time—or better yet, a tent.
Ezra Sprik - Ferdinand of the Tempest: Prince of Style, Sarcasm, and Sick Beats
Cast as Ferdinand, the ever-charming castaway prince, Ezra Sprik brings wit so sharp it could slice through Prospero’s stormclouds. Equal parts artisan and entertainer, Ezra is the rare soul who can handcraft a stunning woodburned masterpiece by day—and drop the perfect party playlist by night.
Known for his perfectly curated wardrobe (rumored to have its own mood board) and hair that appears to be styled by forest nymphs, Ezra lives with flair, grace, and a smirk that says, “Yes, I know exactly how good this jacket looks.”
Beyond the charm and comedic timing lies a heart of gold. Kind, thoughtful, and fiercely present, Ezra is the first to offer a helping hand—or a cutting joke, if you need to be taken down a peg with love.
Whether he’s crafting art, crafting vibes, or crafting the world’s smoothest playlist, Ezra is always the coolest person in the room. He may be playing a shipwrecked prince, but trust us: the only thing this guy ever wrecks… is the dance floor.
Caleb Sprik - The Culinary Conjuror, Cocktail Craftsman, and Crown Prince of PBR
If hospitality had a patron saint, it would be Caleb Sprik—with a spatula in one hand and a cold PBR in the other. Known for his booming laugh, open heart, and uncanny ability to befriend strangers in under 30 seconds, Caleb is the kind of person who makes every room warmer just by walking into it—and possibly offering you a perfectly shaken cocktail while he's at it.
Formally trained in culinary school, Caleb doesn’t just cook—he creates. Every dish is a love letter, every garnish a wink, every bite a hug from a man who genuinely cares. Whether it’s a multi-course dinner or a backyard barbecue, Caleb feeds the people he loves with flair, fun, and just the right amount of butter.
Behind the bar, he’s equally formidable—concocting drinks that are as balanced and bold as his laugh, each one served with a story, a smile, and maybe a dance move or two. But beyond his talents in the kitchen and shaker, Caleb is defined by his deep devotion to friends and family. He shows up, stays late, and brings joy with him like it’s part of his wardrobe.
Always ready to lend a hand, cook a feast, or just hang out and laugh till it hurts, Caleb is proof that generosity, good food, and great company never go out of style.
