Cast Bios

Rob Dominguez (Joe Hardy) is a zero-time AriZoni nominated actor, and is happy to be gracing the stage as young Joe Hardy! Rob's favorite theatrical roles include: Gaston (Beauty and the Beast) Corny Collins (Hairspray), and Dentist (Little Shop of Horrors) to name a few. However, Rob's never been cast in any of these roles... yet. Rob was ACTUALLY last seen as The Young Fool in Mesa Encore Theatre's Big River. Rob has also been seen in various productions around the valley, including: Oklahoma!, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Grease, Ragtime and West Side Story. Rob would like to thank his Mom, Grandma, Elly, Jori, Linda, Jimmy Shoffman, and Rob's dog Zelda for all their love and support!

Jori Mosier (Lola) is excited to be part of this wonderful cast of Damn Yankees!  Jori most recently performed as Violet in It's a Wonderful Life: The Musical.  Some of her favorite roles include Cat (Honk!), Claire (Steel Magnolias), Mary (It's a Wonderful Life), Snake (The Little Prince), Kate (Never Too Late), and now, of course, Lola (Damn Yankees)! 

David Heap (Mr. Applegate) - David has appeared in valley productions of Big River, A Funny Things Happened on the Way to the Forum, A Christmas Carol, Our Town, Fiddler on the Roof, the Sparrow, Pride and Prejudice, and Calamity Jane.  He has trained at the Scottsdale Conservatory Theatre.  David practices law as his day job.  He has been married to Carol for 35 years and they have four children and one grandson.

Darryl Poenisch (Joe Boyd/Benny Van Buren) - Far from his Texas roots, Darryl is a relative newcomer to the Arizona stage.  After earning rave reviews as Sam in Mesa Encore Theatre’s production ofOklahoma!, he fell victim to the sophomore slump playing Judge Thatcher in Big River.  He’s hoping to rebound in Damn Yankees playing the unflappable Benny Van Buren and is grateful to Rob, Jori, and the rest of the cast for giving him the opportunity.
