Who are theses guys, anyway? Well, one very important member is Ricardo Figueroa ("Ricky"), pictured second from the right. Not only is he the Stage Manager for the Amato Opera (a title that barely hints at all his functions), but he is also a performer. In today's performance, he will jump into costume and makeup just in time to perform Antonio, the gardener.

OK, those other fellows: From the left are pictured Allen Cooper, Craig Wohl, Robert Shaffer (center, kneeling) who plays Curzio, Ricky, and (sans wig) William Himmelbauer, the Bartolo for the occasion.
