Our current team...



MICHAEL BERNARDI makes his Off-Off Broadway debut direct from Los Angeles, CA. (Why is this in the 3rd person?) A stand-up comic from the age of 9 (which has emotionally scarred him to this day), Michael has just completed his Acting BFA from SUNY Purchase (basically 4 years of breathing exercises) and can be seen in Happy Madison's "I Know What Boys Like" (not gay porn) this Fall. He'd like to thank everyone involved (especially the bartender) for this wonderful opportunity. Check out www.myspace.com/bernardizzle for masterful sexiness.

JULIE GOLDIN is tickled pink to be making her sketch comedy debut! Julie has performed at The Ensemble Studio Theatre and at Don't Tell Mama Cabaret in NYC, and has toured regionally with several children's theatre companies. Favorite credits include Squeaky Fromme in Assassins, Hermia in A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Witch in Into the Woods, and Amalia Balash in She Loves Me. Proud alumnus of Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts. Thank you to Chris, my family and friends. The closest to naked that Julie has ever been on stage was in high school in a Joyce Carol Oates play. !!BROOKLYN!!

DAVID INGBER lives in New York where he performs stand-up comedy, while supporting himself as an SAT tutor. Is he New York's Funniest Tutor? Or is he New York's Best-At-Sentence-Completions Comic? He is neither. He is, in fact, New York's Best-at-Short-Passage-Reading-Comprehension Scuba Instructor. David is also a Scuba Instructor.

SHAWN AMARO moved from California to New York in 2002. His love of acting and food told him that New York was the perfect place to do both, often at the same time. He can navigate his way through the city using restaurants the way a sailor uses the stars. Currently he performs with the musical improv group Los Banditos Del Canto and directs the Spotlight with Sean Taylor. You can see him hosting Variety Underground at the Parkside Lounge and performing at most of the NYC improv theaters.

DEVON RAGSDALE grew up in a comedy theater so she finds the sound of laughter soothing. It reminds her of falling asleep on the dressing room couch listening to timely (at the time) Bill Clinton sex jokes. Somehow Devon never seemed to feel comfortable in the "real" world, so she's committed to spending the majority of her time in theaters doing sketch comedy, improv, and rocked out as lead singer and guitarist at Mephisto in Berlin last year. Apparently she pronounces foliage incorrectly. She enjoys writing in the style known as "stream of consciousness".

TRACY WEILER Since moving to NYC Tracy has performed at the Upright Citizens Brigade, The People's Improv Theatre, Caroline's On Broadway, Stand-Up New York as well as The Southstreet Summer Theatre Festival. Tracy also likes to look pretty in pictures. She is the My First Time model and has graced the pages of Women's Health as a flight attendant and as Marilyn Monroe (sorta) in Cosmopolitan. She comes from a very small town where caskets are the number one export. She enjoys watching needle point and football. Tracy is SUPER-PUMPED to be apart of "Now That You've Seen Me Naked". She would like to thank a lot of people.

SAMANTHA TELLA, Director wants to begin with a joke...but can't think of a funny one. Samantha is a terrible actress, so being the astute person she is, she began her directing career 5 years ago in NYC. Recently she has worked with Artists Theater Group on Edge, and with MCC Theater on Neil LaBute’s In a Dark Dark House, and on their FreshPlay Festival. Other favorite NYC credits include productions with Roundabout, BAM, spurn, Directors Company, Raw Impressions (RIMT), Adirondack Theater Festival, and NYMF. As always, hugs and kisses to the family!

Former music supervisor and musician at Busch Gardens, Williamsburg, VA. Brent is a private vocal coach, staff accompanist/music director at NYU (Tisch School of the Arts - CAP21), accompanist in the private studio of Judy Blazer, and a graduate of Shenandoah Conservatory.

DANNY FRIEDMAN, Technical Director was born and raised in a giant test tube, where he lived as a medical experiment, with absolutely no human interaction whatsoever. When the government shut the testing down as part of its attack on science, Danny suddenly found himself stranded in New York City with only an ancient and magical power-belt to his name. By chance, he became roommates with Frankenstein's monster's son, and the two of them started a detective agency, where they (along with their wise-cracking, talking dog) get into madcap adventures week after hilarious week! On weekends, Danny does light and sound for this show because the light board and audio mixer remind him of home...

Our special thanks to DIANA BLAKE, producer and guiding light; RON HAMILTON, publicist and general go-to guy; and
GINGER GOLD, our muse and business coach extraordinaire.
