[There isn't a theater SE so this seems like the best place to ask, but feel free to suggest a better place.](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/300800/where-can-i-ask-questions-about-musical-theater) I'm producing a community play with a character who's believed to be dead, but turns out to be alive in the final scene. I don't want to give this away to the audience by putting credit for the actor and character in the program that everyone will read before we start and during intermission. Can I give the actor credit as a fake technical role like Assistant Producer or Costume Designer? Should I hide his credit on another page towards the end of the program? Should I put up a sign by the exits after the end with his crediting? If it matters, he's a side character, not especially pivotal to the plot, just the partner of one of the main characters. He doesn't appear on stage dead.
