ILKE HINCER (Parker Raleigh) first appeared on stage in Timothy Findley's The Stillborn Lover, only recently dipping his feet into the directing pool (or is that diving into the deep end?) by directing Herb Gardner's A Thousand Clowns.  He also has a background in public speaking, writes short stories (his tale 'Consequence' was published in a recent anthology) and was even Kingston's Junior Town Crier back in the day! Oyez! 

Noelle Piche (Sally Saintsbury) has been involved with the performing arts since the young age of three, where she began participating in beauty pageants across Ontario.

Now - after a lifetime (thus far) in the performing arts, and appreciation of the Sherlock Holmes stories - it only makes sense to infuse these two interests into an exciting new adevnture!

RICHARD M. PIPERNI ("The Strangler")... After a fifteen years friendship and partnership in producing challenging works of theatre, TV and film, Richard Mark Piperni and Anthony D.P. Mann are together again in yet another Sherlock Holmes adventure.  After studying theatre and film at John Abbott College in Montreal in the early and mid 1990’s, Richard immediately began working in the field of technical theatre alongside Anthony in Jack the Ripper.  After several years behind the scenes (stage management, set design, etc), Richard finally made his stage debut in the Canterville Ghost (1999). Temporarily retiring from the arts in 2000, Richard trained as a pastry chef and baker. In 2004 he has returned to his first love of film, and re-joined forces with Anthony in The Hound of the Baskervilles – in a dual role as co-producer and as Sir Charles Baskerville.  However, playing the part of The Strangler in Sherlock Holmes and the Shadow Watchers is Richard’s favorite role to date.
