Benjamin is a Senior Cybersecurity Analyst for Logistics Health Inc., helping to protect the nation’s military from cyberattacks. When not exercising the other half of his brain by being completely ridiculous on stage, he can generally be found eating tacos. He is currently eating more tacos than usual due to the stress of being cast in two shows at once while living in Texas and making the commute for rehearsals. “How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” and “The Sound of Murder” have been completely worth all the extra chips and salsa needed to get through the day, because his castmates and directors are the best people in the world.

John is a 30 year old native of West Monroe Louisiana and has always had a love for acting and theater, but had never done any work outside of college until 2017 when he decided to try out and was subsequently cast in the Strauss Main Stage production of Boeing Boeing. This sparked a resurgence in his passion for acting and he has since performed in Last Call at Club Chez Mort, Last Will and Testament, and now The Sound of Murder.
Aymee Bonilla is so excited to be back at Strauss, and especially excited to be part of such a funny show. When she’s not doing shows, she enjoys making costumes, traveling as much as she can, and trying new foods. She loves that Monroe offers something as fun as a murder mystery dinner show, and hopes you continue to support the arts in Northeast Louisiana.

Tammy’s middle name is ‘Dinner Theater’ (which made for some awkward first days of school). She has been performing in local productions for over 30 years, both on the stage and in dinner theater. She loves the up close and personal feel of dinner theater and plans to perform at least another 30 years. When she isn’t acting she likes to sing karaoke and play Magic: The Gathering with her friends. She and her husband, Scott, enjoy traveling whenever they get the chance. She also loves spending any time she can with her daughter, Stephanie and her two Dalmatians, Max and Gracie. This is Tammy’s 2nd show under Wendy Wilson’s direction and she absolutely loves working with her.
