Brian Young & AnnaMarie Lea Perform as Robert & Abby Nash
As we prepare to bring the laughs in Norm Foster’s The Long Weekend, we’re thrilled to introduce two seasoned talents playing the characters of Robert and Abby Nash. With years of theatrical experience and a flair for comedy, Brian Young and AnnaMarie Lea are ready to delight audiences with their dynamic performances.
Brian Young: Playing the Role of Robert Nash
A veteran of the Stage with a Love for the Outdoors
Brian Young steps into the shoes of Robert Nash, a character whose wit and candor bring depth to The Long Weekend. With 48 years in the business, Brian is no stranger to captivating audiences, whether on stage or screen.
When he’s not embodying complex characters, Brian enjoys the simplicity of life by the water—his favorite spot for a long weekend getaway. A fan of Alberta’s breathtaking mountains, Brian finds solace in nature, whether it’s grilling a perfectly cooked steak on the BBQ or simply doing nothing at all. His sharp sense of humor is reflected in his favorite Norm Foster line: “There are too many to list.”
With a love for both cats and dogs, Brian’s versatility extends beyond his acting prowess. While he may not follow a particular NHL or curling team, his dedication to storytelling and connecting with audiences makes him a true star in the Cow Patti family.
AnnaMarie Lea: Starring as Abby Nash
The Heart and Soul of Cow Patti Theatre
As the Artistic Producing Director of Cow Patti Theatre, AnnaMarie Lea embodies the spirit of live performance. This season, she takes on the role of Abby Nash, a character whose warmth and humor are as vibrant as AnnaMarie’s own personality.
When AnnaMarie isn’t busy producing or performing, she treasures camping trips with her “FamiLea” and creating culinary delights, like jam and roasted beets seasoned with love. Alberta holds a special place in her heart, as it’s where she met her husband, Tom, nearly 30 years ago.
A devoted fan of the Edmonton Oilers, AnnaMarie also cherishes her time on stage and behind the scenes. With 40 years in the industry, her favorite advice to her younger self is simple: stretch more, trust more, and always have confidence.
