Dee Snider - Riggs
Dee Snider will be playing the role of Riggs: a complex man who divides his time between trying to hold the crumbling hotel together, inappropriately waving his blatant sexuality around like a flag, and consuming copious amounts of liquor in a futile attempt to drown out some vague but horrible incident from his past.
Dee Snider, who made his most famous worldwide waves as front-man and songwriter for the heavy metal band, Twisted Sister, was born in New York City in 1955. He started singing as a very young child in his church choir, and never stopped.
Dee’s legendary rock anthem, ‘We’re Not Gonna Take It’ was used by actor-turned-politician Arnold Schwarzenegger in his campaign. It comes from the multi-platinum album, ‘Stay Hungry’ which sold over 3 million copies.
Aside from his stupendous musical career, Dee’s multi-faceted career has found him hosting popular radio and TV shows, acting in feature films, lending his beautiful narrating voice to multiple documentaries, and appearing in such popular TV reality shows as Growing Up Twisted and Celebrity Apprentice.
Dee is a published author and a generous philanthropist who has lent his support to a variety of worthy causes, including raising money for premature babies with his annual ‘Bikers for Babies’ bike rides. Additionally, he had a very successful run on Broadway which gave rise to the subsequent album, ‘Dee Does Broadway’.

Greg Nutcher - Constable Billingham
A former police detective and FBI-trained hostage negotiator, Greg Nutcher has had a dynamic and diverse career as an actor, working with such industry greats as Kate Winslet, Josh Brolin, Tobey Maguire, Corbin Bernsen, James Woods, David Boreanaz and Clark Gregg, appearing in lead and supporting roles in over 75 film, television and theatre productions.
Greg takes acting as seriously as he took police work, and to that end has studied his craft consistently since he began — at places like Michael Howard Studio, Weist Barron, New England Academy of Theatre, Actors Gym, and Play On Acting Studio, working extensively with Reno Venturi and Joel Stedman, winner of over 100 awards in the entertainment business.
He feels strongly that his many experiences in law enforcement prepared him for this new life path. “To interview a murderer or a rapist,” he says, “and achieve a successful outcome for the victim and their family, you must be able to become someone you are not, which means creating many personas.”
In “Calicoon”, Greg will play the role of Constable Billingham, the local police officer who is called upon to investigate the goings on at The Calicoon.
