Meet the Cast!

Jack Sale (he/him) is thrilled to be back on stage! He was last seen playing Freddy in the brand-new musical Shady Manor. A globe-trotting performer, Jack brought the magic of Pasek and Paul’s James and the Giant Peach to life as James at the Shanghai Children's Art Theater in China and at BACT. Other whimsical favorites include the straw-stuffed Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz (Diablo Theater Company), the nature-whispering Dickon in The Secret Garden (CCCT), and the high-stepping Tulsa in Gypsy (CCCT). He even shimmied as Carmen Miranda, in a 10-foot fruit hat, at Lincoln Center in Christmas with the Crawfords. Jack has also collaborated with A.C.T., Shakespeare Santa Cruz, and Cal Shakes. A Summa Cum Laude grad of UCLA’s Ray Bolger Musical Theater Program, he splits his time between documentary film production for HBO, playwriting, and professional hand modeling. He dusted off his Lawrence Ferlinghetti "A Coney Island of the mind" to brush up on his beatnik vibes for Pete. Don't quit your daydreams!

Mason Tang (he/him) is beyond delighted and grateful to be making his Bay Area musical theater debut with PLAY Theatre company! As a recovering overachiever who is (re)discovering the joy of creativity and artistic expression, he feels a lot in common with Jimmy Biddle. Mason is an actor, dancer, and singer who has previously performed and trained with Funkanometry SF, Training Ground, The Galen Hooks Method, The Bureau of Non-Verbal Communication, Googapella, and as much karaoke as he can get away with. Outside of the theater, Mason is a professional coach, former engineering manager, runner, powerlifter, baker, partner, and father of two wonderful kids who keep reminding him what joy and unconditional love are all about.

Devon La Bar (they/them) is absolutely thrilled to perform in their first show with PLAY! Devon has performed and worked technical elements throughout the Bay Area with various theatre companies, focusing on children’s musicals and Shakespeare shows. When not performing as an actor, Devon directs and instructs musicals, Shakespeare shows, and Improv with Tomorrow Youth Repertory in Alameda. They also are a huge Dungeons and Dragons fanatic, playing and running TTRPGs whenever given the opportunity. However, when not finding new ways to play games and build collaborative storytelling, Devon enjoys writing and developing comics, designing digital art pieces, and spending time with their pets, Enzo and Navi. Building and fostering community within the arts is something that Devon strives to be a part of. They are so thankful for the opportunity to share their joy and passion with everyone.

Shannon Ferry (she/her) after building on two decades of live performance as a musician, Shannon has recently transitioned her love of the stage to acting! Whether she’s belting out Blue Moon as a femme fatale in Mystery at the Dirty Bird, portraying a dramatic mother in the film Roadside Battles or landing laughs as an improv comedian in her troupe Sketchy at Best, Shannon brings big energy and lots of heart to every role. She is especially excited to be part of Pete the Cat the Musical at the Children’s Creativity Museum, as this is where she first introduced her own kids to the joy of theater!
