Tina Cash
TINA SELDIN CASH was an original member of our cast and performed at The Rudy from 1998 – 2005. She is returning after a 13-year absence and is currently a host of the North Carolina Lottery drawing on WRAL-TV in Raleigh.
Tina started her career in television as a reporter and anchor. She spent 18 years in various TV jobs throughout the southeast including stations in Tallahassee, Florida, Augusta and Atlanta, Georgia, and with WRAL in Raleigh where she worked with Charlie Gaddy and hosted a consumer education segment called “the Money Desk”.
Tina’s love of music began at an early age, but her mother told her that she “sure couldn’t carry a tune” so she became a closet singer for many years. Her strong desire to perform eventually led her to the stage at Raleigh Little Theatre, then as emcee and performer at the Country Music Showcase at Johnston Community College before joining The Rudy cast. She later sang for five years with Carolina Harmony Chorus, a female a-capella group in Raleigh that is part of Sweet Adelines International. Tina says she is thrilled to once again be performing with the cast at The Rudy.
Tina and her husband, John have adopted his granddaughter, Rayne, who attends middle school and excels in her practice of Karate. They live in Raleigh, NC with their two dogs, Chibobo and Twinkie.
