Luna Shotz was a Reserve Shuttle Astronaut with the NASA Space Program in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Although never getting to actually launch into space, she was on loan to Disney World's Epcot Center to give Space Talks to kids about what space travel is like. Her term ended abruptly when a disagreement with an actor in a Goofy costume turned violent over the topic of size and "payload specialists.” All charges eventually were dropped, but Luna was forced to retire from the NASA organization. Since then she has been court ordered to attend an anger management program and now teaches Bikram Yoga.
Jerri Atrixxx is a fan of long-lasting, long-lived, long standing, perennial, perpetual, practiced, skilled, solid, staying, steady, time-honored, versed veterans with vintage charm. Jerri loves classic bandstand music, the roaring twenties, and having a fireside chat. She wants you to walk her way, just as slow as you need to. Take your time; she's got more than you do. RIP Mortie, Bernie, Sal, Louis, Sylvester, and Mr. Morrison. You're in my heart.
Cookie Crewneck aka ‘Cooksie,’ ‘C Crew,’ and ‘Cookielicious’ is totally into fashion. Especially the kind you can find in every mall in every city in our great nation. She knows exactly what you need and who you’re doing when you think no one’s looking. And she will never ever leave your side until you have an awesomely super-cute outfit, even if she has to give you the clothes off her back.
Deaf Lisa is originally from Oakland, CA and loves to dance.
Vivian Dupre is a long-time veteran of the stage and is a true quadruple threat: acting, singing, dancing, and LOVING LIFE. Favorite roles include Beneatha in A Raisin in the Sun, Lucy in You're a Good Man Charlie Brown, and Medea in Medea, among literally hundreds of others. She gives special thanks to her husband Mac and to her toy pug, David Mamet.
Wolforia is not rabid, nor does she bite. She walks stealthily among the crowd, sniffs out choice cuts to chase, pounce, flee in tamed trust. Cry not! And move forward in the night. Big ups to Papa Johns.
Egena Ferlesonis happier than the brightest star to be a part of the show. She would like to give a special thanks to Science Nation for teaching her everything about space. Also Granny!
Samoa Mymuff is a lifelong member of the Girl Scouts of the USA. After losing her entire family to a bloodthirsty grizzly bear as a child, Samoa dealt with her Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder by helping others and dedicating herself to always being prepared. Her interests include leadership, crafts, environmentalism, social consciousness, and exciting lingerie. Unlike most Girl Scouts, Samoa offers her cookies all year long.
Nick DeVincenzo was the child star of the 80s sitcom “One of the Klan.“ He wants you to know that he is very proud of all his awards and memories. They’re going to erect a memorial for him in this town. Yeah, and the girls too. Somebody help Nick figure out how to work the homemade sausage machine he bought off the TV.
Becky Miller is honored to once again help the Annoyance get more naked. Working with these sexy ladies makes her smile whether she's on stage with them or behind the scenes making them learn really dumb choreography. Huge thanks to Jen for asking her to codirect, normal sized thanks to Tyler, good ole regular thanks to this theatre and everyone in it for being amazing. Becky loves her awesome baby, her sexy husband, and tolerates her crazy dog.
Jennifer Estlin is delighted to direct this show. Jennifer has been acting in various things for many years and has a very messy desk upstairs at The Annoyance, from which she tries to keep the theatre running. She thanks you for coming out to see live theatre and hopes the phrase ‘in these economic times’ goes away soon. Special Thanks to Mick for being incredibly supportive, as always, but even more.
