THE CAST

Ron Smith has been a professional stage performer for over thirty years beginning in his home state of Georgia then making his way west to California and Nevada. Ron has performed as Charlie Cowell/Harold Hill in the 1st National Revival Tour of The Music Man and starred as Julian Marsh for a year and a half in 42nd Street throughout the US and Japan. His regional musical theatre credits include: Adam (7 Brides For 7 Brothers); Jud (Oklahoma); Jacob (Shenandoah); Moose (Crazy For You); Miles Gloriosus (A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum); and Caiaphas (Jesus Christ Superstar) to name a few. One of his greatest pleasures though is working with his beautiful and talented wife, Lisa.

Lisa Smith, originally from Delaware, moved to California to perform and tour with the well-known song & dance company, “The Young Americans.” Following that, Lisa spent several years touring and performing across the United States and abroad.  However, her favorite performing experience was while co-hosting the famous Wild Bill’s Wild West Extravaganza Show in Buena Park, CA, where she met and fell in love with her husband and soul-mate Ron (who happened to be playing the role of Wild Bill opposite her Miss Annie). Since relocating to Las Vegas with Ron, Lisa has enjoyed appearances at several well-known venues such as the Suncoast Hotel & Casino, South Point Event Center, Ritz-Carlton at Lake Las Vegas, the Bootlegger Bistro, the Stirling Club, Becker’s Steakhouse, and the Starbright Theatre in Summerlin. In addition to performing with Ron, Lisa also performs regularly with the well-known tribute group “Shades of Sinatra,” and sings with up-and-coming all-girl jazz trio “Dangerous Curves.”
