Kasey Ostarello
14 Shows, 2009 - present
Featured Performer
A freshman at Ohio State University, Kasey joined Acid Reflux in March of 2009 as a guest star in "As Seen on TV". Besides only being featured in two performances, she refused to be a wallflower and came back in "The Next Generation" and quite possibly stole the show as the surprisingly psychotic Myrtle character in the second episode of the troupe's very own soap opera, "Are You Positive". She has performed twice with Shakespeare on Clark in Batavia and loves to sing.
Signature Roles:
Myrtle (Four episodes of The Soap Opera Series, 2009-2010)
Michelle Henderson (3 Sketches, 2009-2010)
Betty (If I Only Had a Bran [2009] and If I Only Had a Black [2010])

Mary joined the cast for "Harry Potty" in August of 2007 and quckly 'cast a spell' over the audience - instantly stealing the hearts of all men! Her hilarious performance way back then aided Acid Reflux's first season finale to be the funniest revue yet - and now she's once again lending her talents to the Reflux stage as we launch into our fifth season!

Dylan, a senior at Kaneland High School, has had a love for comedy and theatre for all of his life. He is joining our cast as we launch our fifth year, and he couldn't be more excited!

He's a self-proclaimed geek and has appeared in many shows over the past few years.
