Where wee almost, yea more than maryed are.
This flea is you and I, and this
Our mariage bed, and mariage temple is;
Though parents grudge, and you, w'are met,
And cloystered in these living walls of Jet.
Though use make you apt to kill mee,
Let not to that, selfe murder added bee,
And sacrilege, three sinnes in killing three.
- John Dunne
Andrew Jay Bennett: (Mr. Snelgrave) Andrew is a graduate from the University of Minnesota in Deluth, with a BFA in Acting/Musical Theatre. Over the course of his career, he has been involved in over 30 productions as either an actor, writer, or director. Favorite roles include: Jesus is "Jesus Christ Superstar", Baker in "Into the Woods", Greg in "Sylvia", and Anse in "As I Lay Dying". He also portrayed Dr. Seuz in the world premiere of "The Movie Game", which performed at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC as part of the American College Theatre Festival. For his work in that show, he was a National Finalist for the Irene Ryan award, a recipient of the Mark Twain Award for Comedic Excellence and the recipient of the Acting Excellence Award from the Kennedy Center. Andrew would like to thank all his friends and family for their constant love and unfaltering support of his dream and he dedicates his performance to his beautiful wife, Katy, who has already made his biggest dream come true.
Lisa Wilson: (Morse) Lisa is thrilled to be working with a great company of excellent actors and direction. Lisa is a 2002 graduate of the Southern Methodist University BFA theatre program. She has played daughter to Helena Bonham Carter and Barbara Hershey in TV movies and got to flirt with Hilary Swank in "Boys Don't Cry". Some of her favorite roles have been in productions of "Sincerity Forever," "Anton in Show Business," "Alice in Wonderland," and "Little Shop of Horrors." Lisa has produced and performed in four solo performance shows promoting feminism in theatre. Lisa likes to write and quit smoking for the role of Morse.
Chris Riter: (Bunce) See About Us.
Thom Sigsby: (Kabe) The Reverend Thomas D. Sigsby was born and bred on the East Coast, but is slowly adjusting to the kinder folks, better sausages, and worse drivers of Chicago. A graduate of Emerson College in Boston (where he had a go at Bunce), The Rev. has performed in Chicago at Corn Production's "Tales from Mom's Crypt", as well as a hip-hop AIDS awareness show with School St. Movement. If, for some reason, you are thinking of giving Thom a post-show flower, consider, instead, voting for Dean in 2004. It'll sure save you money and keep our company functional for at least a few more years.
Melissa Jo Kuhlmann: (Darcy) Melissa received her degree in theatre from Michigan State University, then high-tailed it back to Chi-town and has been somewhere in the grid ever since. Some of her favorite stage roles have been Carrie in Adam Langer's "Coaster", Mistress in "Curious Beautiful" with the Neo-Futurists and Ophelia in "Fortinbras". She wishes to continue working in theatre while pursuing a writing career and work in independent film. She is truly happy to be working with GreyZelda in their debut Chicago show. Melissa is most comfortable when listening to rock-n-roll, climbing trees back on the farm, and when confessing in her journal. She's a little uncomfortable when writing a personal bio so if you just gotta know her more, grab her after the show.

Rebecca Zellar: (director) See About Us.
Derek Jarvis: (assistant in all things theatrical) A recent graduate of Northwestern University, Derek is thrilled to be a part of GreyZelda's Chicago debut. An actor by trade, Derek feels just as comfortable in the wings or behind the scenes. When he's not pursuing all things theatrical, Derek spends his time writing and reading anything he can get his hands on. He would like to thank his parents for all the support and Alana for being herself.
