The Annoyance Theatre & Bar

Edge and Back Credits

Aarón Alonso (Philip) is originally from Juárez, Mexico. He moved to Chicago in the winter of 2009 to pursue an education in improvisation. He has only gone through The Annoyance school of thought and wants to learn more. Aarón has been seen in such productions as Skinprov and Splatter Theater. Outside of the Annoyance he can also be seen playing with Lumberjack Tsunami at The Playground Theatre and with the video-sketch group Lady Parts. He would like to thank Mick Napier and Tyler Wolff-Ormes for all the opportunities he has received to continue to grow as a perfomer. He can not thank them enough. Aarón would like to dedicate this show to Juárez, animo cabrones!

Justin Howard (Dale) grew up in Casper, Wyoming and moved to Chicago in 2003 to attend film school. He graduated in 2007, and began working as a documentary editor for a humanitarian organization. In 2009 Justin met Aarón Alonso, and the two began taking classes together at the Annoyance. Justin's first Annoyance performance was that of the nun during last year's "Splatter Theatre". Outside of the Annoyance Justin also performs with Aarón in their improv troupe "Lumberjack Tsunami" and their sketch/video troupe "Lady Parts". Justin would like to thank his family for always supporting him no matter what. He would also like to thank Chelsie Jangord for her overwhelming amount of unconditional love and support. Mark Vannier for all of his hard work, dedication, and his willingness to explore absurdity. Tyler Patocka for his willingness to do anything at the drop of a hat. Aarón Alonso for inspiring me to take chances. Dan Jessup, Megan Johns, Rich Sohn, Rebecca Sohn, Mark Sutton and Mick Napier for sharing their vast amount of knowledge. Mick Napier again for creating an honest nonjudgemental place where creating anything is possible. He would also like to give a BIG thanks to Jennifer Estlin, Tyler Wolff-Ormes, and Jimmy Fitz for all of their hard work!

Tyler Patocka (Gus, Jimbo, Bartender) is feeling an emotion or more about being in this show! Before this thing happened, he was in other things that happened here. They were all wholesome
family favorites beloved by humans everywhere such as "Stations," "Daredevilry," "Bodyslam," "Neon Snacks," "Bucket of Blood," "Splatter Theater," and a smattering of Triple Features and a couple other shows. He is
26, with male parts, and has interests. If you ask him about North Korea, organized crime, old pro wrestling, or the Cold War, he'll probably talk to you more than you'd like.

Mark Vannier (Director) has been a part of several shows at the Annoyance since '06 and is pleased to be working on this show with his friends Aaron, Justin and Tyler. Mark also teaches and directs at the Second City Training Center, and can be seen performing regularly at iO. He's also on the internet with his sketch group Sad On Vacation (www.sadonvacation.com). Thanks to Mick, Jennifer, Jimmy and Tyler for all their work and for keeping the Annoyance a place that takes chances and gives performers and audiences an opportunity to try something different (like this show).
