Before posting photos from the show, we can't help but recount just a few of the moments that made us laugh out loud as we were creating this show with the actors...

LITTLE THINGS ACTOR SPOTLIGHT!
Renee McFillin’s roles in “Little Things” are the most diverse, as she is playing the comedic roles of Cris and Evil Paralegal 2, the businesslike Realtor and the dancer Raven (Tap or Ballet? find out...) She’s crushing all her roles!

Her recent notable roles include Charity in Sweet Charity (2024-Barrymore Nominated) and Annie Oakley in Annie Get Your Gun this past June (Act II Playhouse). She sends so much love and gratitude to her Dad and brothers for everything, as well as to the creative team of Little Things. Enjoy her many roles in the show!

First Role: Judas in Godspell (Eighth grade!)

Can I tell y'all how great it was to be back at Philly Folk Fest? A bunch of young'ns. We had a phenomenal weekend. Only happens once a year but this one was special. I post this photo, not because it was actually at fest. I think a Dylan night but my/ our close friend Gene was in attendance and he deserves our reverence. As does @michaelbraunfeld for keeping it all alive, breathing and fun. Thank you all all for coming out to the Camp Stage!!

LITTLE THINGS ACTOR SPOTLIGHT!
Danny Wilfred plays the dual comedic roles of Chris and Evil Paralegal 1, bringing over a decade of stage experience to Little Things. His credits span Broadway national tours (A Christmas Story, Flashdance), regional favorites like Cabaret (Emcee) and Shrek (Donkey), and standout Philadelphia work including the Barrymore Award-winning Jaffe St. Queer production of Gay Mis (Outstanding Leading Performance in a Musical) and the Barrymore-nominated Alice in Wonderland: A Musical Panto at People's Light.

A University of Michigan BFA Musical Theatre grad, Danny also works as a playwright and casting director with Exquisite Corpse Company in Brooklyn. Off stage, Danny is a practicing mental health therapist and multidisciplinary visual artist, bringing a storyteller's eye to every role. Danny’s comedic talent really shines in the show and we couldn’t be happier he is with us on this journey!

FIVE QUESTIONS:
First role? Joseph, in my kindergarten class's Nativity play
Favorite role? Tie: Donkey in Shrek, and Emcee in Cabaret
Favorite musical? Three way tie: Passing Strange, Shrek, and A Chorus Line (don't make me choose!)
Favorite musical theatre song? "Let Me Be Your Star" from SMASH (the TV show, not the stage musical)
Favorite actor? Colman Domingo

Show: Saturday, August 29th, 3 pm (Doors 2 pm)
3 PM SHOW IS SOLD OUT BUT WE EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO SEAT EVERYONE ON THE WAITLIST.
