Meet the Cast & Creatives of THE BURNT PART BOYS!

MEET THE NEW RECRUITS!

After being postponed by Hurricane Helene, The Burnt Part Boys is finally making its way to the Mountain Theatre Company stage - and we're proud to introduce the cast bringing this stirring musical to life!

Set deep in the coal country of West Virginia, this powerful coming-of-age story follows a group of teenagers as they trek to the site of a deadly mine explosion in hopes of finding closure- or justice. With a soaring bluegrass and folk-infused score, the show explores grief, courage, and the legacy of those who came before.

Returning to the MTC stage after appearing in Rock of Ages, Alex Pletikapich will star as younger brother Pete, a youngster who is deeply inspired by movie heroes and renders The Burnt Part useless.

Spencer Bethers (MTC’s Home for the Holidays: Sounds of the Season) will join as older brother Jake, a roughhouse brother who has taken over the lead role as caretaker in their home.

Alongside Bethers, Michael Robert Krebs will be seen as Chet, the best friend of Jake who also works in the mine in the town.

Dusty, the fun-loving, saw-playing best friend of Pete will be played by William Field.

Katie Berger Wood will reprise her role as runaway Frances (The Burnt Part Boys, Freefall Theatre).

Al Dollar, a recent BroadwayWorld winner for “Best Performer in a Musical” in MTC’s Catch Me If You Can will return to the MTC stage.

Rounding out the cast of miners includes Terrance McQueen (MTC’s Forever Plaid), Stuart Metcalf (Nat'l tour Jesus Christ Superstar) and James Arthel Reilly.

"The Burnt Part's calling out boys, calling out boys just like you..."

Don't miss this long-awaited return. Perfect for the whole family! Experience a story that "ain't never been told right" - until now.
