Tyler Nye

❤️🦁 "[The heart of the show belongs to the Mechanicals … ] Tyler Nye captured hearts as the slow and shy Snug who delivers a wonderful performance as the lion. ... Together, this cast of amateur actors — played by truly great dramatic artists — creates a hilarious and wholesome core of the play." – Jake Thomas, Santa Cruz Sentinel
